Curators
Curators of the OSU Collection of Vertebrates are faculty members in the Department of Biology or the Department of Natural Resource Ecology and Management who also teach and conduct research. Their teaching and research interests can be explored by clicking on their names below. The collection is also supported by two Collection Managers—one overseeing birds, mammals, and frozen tissues, and the other responsible for fishes, amphibians, and reptiles. Students enrolled in ZOOL 4730- “Research in Zoological Collections” gain hands-on experience in curatorial practices by assisting with specimen preparation and curation.
