The ASU Natural History Collections consist of nine different collections that support the university's teaching, research and public outreach functions. Our collections emphasize flora and fauna from the arid southwest of North America. Since 2018, we operate the National Ecological Observatory Network (NEON) Biorepository, which contains a diversity of nearly 70 collections with close to 400,000 organismal and environmental samples. Since 2021, we manage the iDigBio Symbiota Support Hub, which supports more than 1,000 live-managed collections. | |||
Join us on Monday evening for a private tour of the different collections; including the mammalian, insect, mollusk, herbarium, fossil plants, symbiota, beetles, wet collection, as well as the state of the art NEON Biorepository cryo collections. A reception with light appetizers will take place on the patio after the tours. Complimentary buses will be provided to and from the collections site. | |||
The ASU Natural History Collections house preserved and dried biospecimens including plants, mollusks (shells), insects, fishes, amphibians, reptiles, birds, and mammals. Sensitivities and allergies may occur in certain individuals. Please consult with a healthcare provider to discuss any concerns before attending tours. | |||
