The Department of Zoology is the largest of the Museum's four curatorial departments. Reflecting the Department's collection strengths and research programs, it is currently organized into six Divisions: Amphibians and Reptiles, Birds, Fishes, Insects (with arachnids and myriapods), Invertebrates, and Mammals. Each Division has its own collection management staff, maintaining our world-class collections of more than 19.5 million zoological specimens. In addition to their research programs, the Department's curators actively build and curate collections, train graduate and undergraduate students, develop exhibits and other public programs, and serve the diverse needs of the public and scientific communities.
