Excerpt from Systematic Collections of the Agritural Research Service
Most agritural and biological research depends on the information extracted from systematic collections of plants and animals. Coment systematists can derive significant data from these collections and associated resources. To assure that biosystematic data are readily available to the research programs of the Agritural Research Service (ars) and to other organizations, ars supports 13 major systematic collections and 80 curators. These collections contain over 25 million specimens representing nearly 1 million species. They are recognized not only in this country but throughout the world for their contributions to taxonomic research.
It is partiarly appropriate to assemble and disseminate information on the systematic collections and scientists supported by ars on the occasion of Beltsville Symposium II, Biosystematics in Agriture.
