research at The Field Museum is organized around six
collections: Amphibians and Reptiles, Birds, Fishes, Insects
(with arachnids and myriapods), Invertebrates, and Mammals. Each
collection has its own staff, maintaining world-class holdings
that together total more than 19.5 million zoological specimens
from around the world. In addition to their diverse research
programs, the our zoologists actively build collections, train
graduate, undergraduate, and high school students, contribute to
exhibits and other public programs, and serve the diverse needs
of the public and scientific communities.
