对自然和人的地域知识

The future of the Sonoran Desert region rests on our ability to adapt to a rapidly changing climate, 这反过来又取决于生物多样性, 有弹性的生态系统. 在这个体系中，人们既强大又脆弱. 近70年来, the Desert Museum has been helping people understand and appreciate their environment and their multiple roles in it. Museum scientists and curators documented and disseminated the foundation of natural history knowledge that underpins 管理 decisions today, 就像过去一样.

拯救栖息地

在植物生态学领域, 该博物馆目前专注于入侵杂草的科学和管理, 主要buffelgrass, which currently has the greatest potential to transform our saguaro-palo verde forests into fire-prone grasslands, 危及生物多样性和人类健康和财产. Building upon the Museum’s history of publishing the flora of vast areas of the Sonoran Desert – which have been used as the basis for decades of ecological research – we aim to expand into a more holistic approach to maintaining ecosystem function by understanding vegetation dynamics at the landscape scale under a regime of changing climate and introduced species. We are currently invested in research to better understand the impact of fire on saguaro mortality, 从真菌病原体中开发生物除草剂, 监测治疗效果, 并了解社会行为者之间的行为和互动是如何发生的.g.、医疗机构、政府机构、义工组织等.)影响入侵的结果. We will continue to work with partners at the University of Arizona and regional land managers to develop sustainable approaches for maintaining and restoring desert landscapes that continue to support biodiversity and mitigate the threat of fire for plants, wildlife, and people.

保护传粉者

博物馆目前的重点是了解本地蜜蜂的多样性和生态. 该地区是世界上蜜蜂种类最丰富的地区之一(与中东并列)。, 有700-800多种, 然而，2022世界杯下注对这些杰出传粉者的需求和习性知之甚少. Building on the Museum’s history with the Forgotten 传粉者 and Migratory 传粉者 projects, 这引起了人们对保护这些被忽视的动物的关注, 世界杯app软件推荐将继续与亚利桑那大学的同事合作 了解本地蜜蜂的现状, 影响其多样性和丰度的因素, 以及有助于保护它们在生态系统中的数量和功能的行动. 这些努力依赖于一组志愿者科学家, 博物馆最有价值但未被充分利用的资产之一. 这些志愿者, pin, 标记和识别每个标本, 结果收集了将近20张,000 bees, 这将在未来几十年用来回答关于富足的问题, diversity, 物种组成, phenology, 以及气候和其他环境变化对本地蜜蜂的影响. Moreover, we continue to grow the educational component of this effort by offering college and high school students the opportunity to contribute by DNA barcoding bee specimens for which identification is impossible via morphological characters. 通过DNA条形码, students are documenting new species and publishing their barcodes in the Barcode of Life Database (BOLD), 这有助于他们将自己视为科学家. Hundreds of additional community scientists are documenting native bees via photography and the Tucson Bee Collaborative iNaturalist Project. The Museum also participates in networks to monitor and conserve monarch butterflies at the national and state level, 君主标签和公共教育.

弹性粮食系统

建立在民族植物学研究的悠久历史之上, teaching, 和推广, 博物馆的目标是建立一个研究项目 understand and conserve the wild relatives of modern-day crops and expand the regional food system to include arid-adapted native foods. These native and other arid-adapted plants are an important hedge against the effects of climate change in the Sonoran Desert and other arid regions. 他们可以提供低成本, low-maintenance food supplies for households and local producers as well as genetic material to adapt future large-scale agriculture to a changing climate. 除了为人们提供食物, 原生植物是野生动物食物网和健康生态系统的基础. 有价值的合作伙伴将包括Native Seeds/Search, 任务的花园, UArizona, 图森美食之城, Borderlands Restoration and other groups that are interested in this area and would welcome additional research capacity and a 连接 to education programming for hundreds of thousands of Desert Museum visitors.

拯救物种

世界杯app软件推荐与国家合作, Federal and Tribal agencies in both the US and Mexico to help conserve threatened and endangered species from the Sonoran Desert region. 该博物馆在这一领域的研究重点是水生物种的养殖, 虽然工作人员也参与实地调查, 一些非水生物种的重新引进和研究. 这个博物馆收藏了大量的植物, fish, 用于打捞的两栖动物和爬行动物, 保证和传播. Knowledge developed at the Museum has led to the first successful breeding of several aquatic species, including, 最近, 索诺塔泥龟. 博物馆里的动物, 他们的护理知识也随之发展, 直接影响了索诺塔鱼的生存, Sonoyta mudturtle, 长鳍鲦鱼, 毒蜥topminnow, 索诺兰沙漠龟, 雅基族鲶鱼, 索诺拉俱乐部和塔拉乌马拉青蛙, 等. 博物馆还参与了亚利桑那狩猎和鱼类的乌龟收养计划, 让市民参与拯救这个物种.

在四个重点领域中的每一个, 博物馆与大学研究人员合作, 保护从业人员, 土地管理者回答问题，解决社区今天面临的问题, 为未来预期的和潜在的挑战做好准备. The Museum is unique in its explicit linkage of science to a robust Art Institute and a multi-modal educational platform for increasing public understanding and engagement – which are as important as scientific knowledge for successful 保护 programs. The Museum’s science team engages creatively with Museum educators and interpreters – including the award-winning docent program – to develop messaging for exhibits and programs, 以及公众参与的机会, 比如社区科学, 传粉者和原生食物园艺, 生物多样性调查, buffelgrass拉, 还有本地食物烹饪课. With its legacy of research on and interpretation of Sonoran Desert natural history in a setting that invites hands-on inquiry & 连接, 博物馆准备与学术界合作, 保护, 管理, policy, and community organizations to make an enormous positive impact on the ecological and human systems of the region.
