University of Michigan Museum of Zoology
Through the efforts of University of Michigan faculty-curators and staff, the Museum of Zoology (UMMZ) develops and maintains excellent zoological and botanical science collections explicitly for use in research and education benefiting science, society, and the university. Organismal and genetic resource collections, at UM and elsewhere, are the best tangible record we have of life on Earth, providing a crucial resource for research and teaching about biodiversity, both now and in the future. Comprehensive understanding of the origins, evolution and conservation of biodiversity is predicated on analyses and access to the tangible record.The scientific role of the UMMZ is to train students and engage in systematic biology and biodiversity studies.
