Description

Botanical research is dependent on herbaria specimens. Basic floristic are important for studying biogeography, plant migrations, and science education among other reasons. Tennessee has three large herbaria, but there are 12 state collections. Recent advances in specimen imaging have begun unification of all Tennessee collections into a common Tennessee Herbarium Consortium Virtual Herbarium. Dr. Shaw will speak about several lines of research from floristics to the evolutionary rates of mutation in chloroplasts and show how herbaria are foundational to science.
