These clips, highlighting researchers from the EEB Museums in the field, offer a behind-the-scenes look at how researchers gather, preserve, and study specimens to better understand biodiversity and ecosystems. Specimen collection is a crucial component of scientific research, providing physical evidence for species identification, genetic analysis, and long-term ecological monitoring.
These two field video clips taken by Dr. Diarmaid Ó Foighil, Curator of Mollusks. One features a mantis shrimp capture technique in the Indian River Lagoon (Florida), the other a snake-eel Batesian mimic recorded in the Amori Archipelago (Japan).
