Academic Report: Specimen cybertaxonomy for integrated systematics
[ 2012-06-05 ]

Title:Specimen cybertaxonomy for integrated systematics

Speaker:Colin Favret, Prof. 

    Université de Montréal Biodiversity Centre, Canada

Place:IOZ C101

Time:2012.6.7 , 10:00 am

Abstacrt:Biological systematics is a science that draws on broad sources of data, from morphology to molecules, from geography to behavior to symbiosis, in support of broad range of disciplines, from phylogenetics to taxonomy, from speciation to biogeography to conservation. Systematists generally deploy such data at the species level or higher; however, the basic unit in biology is the individual organism, represented in systematics by the museum specimen. Advances in information technology allow for unprecedented levels of integration and analysis of systematic data extracted from specimens. The presentation will 1) describe a model of aphid cybertaxonomy centered on the fundamental role of the specimen to systematics research, and 2) describe current and future integrated research that capitalizes on this model.
