ACADEMIC AFFAIRS - 1999 ANNUAL REPORT

1999 was a year of significant transition and achievement for the people and programs that together
constitute the research and collections component of The Field Museum, collectively known as Academic
Affairs. The following pages detail the many accomplishments through which the Museum’s scientific
staff advanced the core mission of the institution.

Perhaps the most notable transition was the departure in August of Peter Crane, Vice President,
Academic Affairs. After nearly seventeen years with the Museum, and more than seven as Vice
President, Crane left to assume the position as Director of the Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew. Crane’s
legacy at The Field would be difficult to overestimate. Besides being a brilliant scientist—as
evidenced by his election to the Royal Society in 1998—Crane left his mark on both research and public
education at the Field through his leadership of the Museum’s scientific programs. Besides cultivating
a world-class faculty and stimulating an outstanding record of external fund-raising, Crane further
developed the Center for Cultural Understanding and Change (CCUC) and Center for Evolutionary and
Environmental Biology (CEEB), and advanced the Museum’s conservation efforts by creating the Office
of Environmental and Conservation Programs (ECP) in 1993. Crane worked tirelessly to strengthen the
research profile of the Museum, and to further the integration of its collections-based research with its
public programs—the notable examples being Underground Adventure, which he conceived in 1993, and
the Museum web site, which under his direction advanced from a small-scale experiment to an award-
winning destination with a million-plus annual visitors.

During the interim while a new V. P. is sought, leadership of Academic Affairs has been taken up by
the Academic Affairs Management Group: Riidiger Bieler (Chair, Zoology), Gary Feinman (Chair,
Anthropology), John Flynn (Chair, Geology), Debra Moskovits (Director, Environmental and
Conservation Programs), Gregory Mueller (Chair, Botany), Catherine Sease (Head Conservator,
Anthropology, and Chair of Collections and Research Professional Staff), William Stanley (Collection
Manager, Mammals), Alaka Wali (Director, Center for Cultural Understanding and Change), and
Mark Westneat (Associate Curator, Zoology, and Chair of the Science Advisory Council). This group
also serves as the Search Committee for the Vice President, Academic Affairs. Under the guidance of
this team, the transition has gone smoothly, and the progress in the Museum’s scientific programs has
continued unabated.

While Crane’s departure was a loss, significant additions to the Academic Affairs staff in 1999
continued to enhance vitality of the Museum’s collections and research efforts. In the late summer, Gary
Feinman joined the Department of Anthropology as Chair and Curator for Mesoamerican Archeology
and Anthropology. Feinman has an international reputation as a leading scholar of Mesoamerica, and
has recently undertaken extensive archeological survey research in China as well. Also in the summer,
Anne Underhill joined Anthropology as Assistant Curator for East Asian Anthropology, and Zoology
welcomed Paul Goldstein as Assistant Curator of Insects. Underhill, recently of Yale University, is
considered a leading scholar of archeology in China, and is one of only three North American-based
archeologists to be granted permission to conduct research in China. Goldstein arrives with a strong
specimen-based background in moths and butterflies, and a broad range of interests and talents, from
habitat conservation to plant-insect co-evolution to cladistic methodology.

Eve Emshwiller joined the Museum as the Abbott Laboratories Adjunct Curator of Economic Botany
early in the year. Her research focuses on the systematics, genetic diversity and ethnobotany of the
Andean tuber crop "oca" (Oxalis tuberosa) and its wild relatives. William Alverson began working as a
Conservation Ecologist with ECP and Botany in June, after four years of molecular evolution /
systematics research at Harvard University. He has extensive experience in conservation biology and
forest management, and more recently with decentralized data networks for botanical images and
standard reference lists of the scientific names of plants.

Two of our junior faculty were promoted in 1999. Meenakshi Wadhwa was promoted to Associate
Curator of Meteoritics (Geology), and Chaparukha Kusimba was promoted to Associate Curator for
African Archaeology and Ethnology. Since her 1995 appointment, Wadhwa has pursued a dynamic
research program and conducted very active curation of the meteoritics collection, leading to the
addition of several significant specimens. In addition to research support, she has secured extremely
competitive lab and equipment funding from both NSF and NASA, including awards totaling over
$500,000 for the creation of a Geochronology Lab. Kusimba uncovered new insights into the rise of states
on the East Coast of Africa, and his recently published book The Rise And Fall of Swahili States
(Altamira Press) is already being hailed as a landmark in African Archeology. In addition, Peter
Wagner was recently re-appointed to another three-year term as Assistant Curator in the Department
of Geology. Wagner is an invertebrate paleontologist specializing in Paleozoic gastropods, and also
conducts theoretical work involving mathematical models of evolutionary trends and morphological
change.

January 2000 saw the appointment of two new Assistant Curators in Zoology, Petra Sierwald and
Margaret Thayer. Both had served as Adjunct Curators in Insects prior to joining the career-track
curatorial ranks. Sierwald is an expert in spiders and millipedes, serves as the Managing Editor of the
Journal of Arachnology, and organized the International Congress of Arachnology at the Museum in
1998. She is also the recipient of a prestigious PEET grant (Partnership for Enhancing Expertise in
Taxonomy), focusing on the systematics of millipedes. Thayer, who specializes in the study of
staphylinid beetles, is Executive Editor of Annales Zoologici, and organized the Entomological Society
of America symposium in 1998. Besides being widely published and respected in their respective fields,
both scientists have helped build the Museum's Arthropod collection, and have made strong
contributions to a wide variety of public education efforts, including the Underground Adventure,
Spiders!, and Living Colors exhibits, the Biodiversity Explorers and "Bug Camp" intern programs, and
Chicago Wilderness initiatives.

The Museum also continues to attract top talent in its Professional Staff. Lutz Bachmann joined the
Museum as the Manager of the Pritzker Laboratory for Molecular Systematics and Evolution.
Bachmann, with a Doctorate in Natural Sciences from the University of Ttitbingen, has published
widely on genetics, and has extensive experience in a variety of molecular laboratory techniques, and
genetic and phylogenetic analysis software. In the fall of 1999 Zoology’s Division of Invertebrates
welcomed Jochen Gerber as its new Collections Manager. Gerber has a Ph.D. from the University of
Munich, and is a land snail specialist with much collection experience. Stephen Nash became the
Head of Collections in Anthropology, after completing a post-doc on the Paul S. Martin collections
project. Nash, who has a Ph.D. from the University of Arizona, and produced two recent books on tree-
ring dating in North American archaeology, will oversee and coordinate collections care and use for the
department. Also in 1999 Jennifer Steinbachs was appointed as the Museum’s Computational Biologist.
Steinbachs, a broadly-trained evolutionary biologist with a Ph.D. in plant population genetics from
the University of Connecticut, spearheaded the creation of a high-performance computer cluster for the
analysis of molecular data as part of a major NSF-funded project. She will play an active and
important cross-cutting role in bioinformatics training at the Museum across all scientific departments,
Computing, and the Pritzker Molecular Lab.

Another very significant addition to the ranks of permanent Academic Affairs staff is imminent.
Building on groundwork laid by the Science Advisory Council (SAC) and the Academic Affairs
Management Group, and propelled by the Trustee-led Strategic Planning initiative, in summer 2000
Academic Affairs will fill the first nine of a projected thirty-one new positions targeted for care of the
Museum’s world-class collections. Collections staffing is an area in which we have been far behind peer
institutions, and the critical need for new collections staff to address deferred maintenance and keep
pace with the demands of collections care and use, was central to the recommendations of both the
Collections and the Research Teams for Strategic Planning. The Academic Affairs Management Group
has worked to begin implementation of the initial phases of the plan.

Also joining us in 2000 will be two post-doctoral fellows in a new program named for former Museum
President Willard Boyd—the first ongoing post-doctoral fellowship program ever sponsored by the
Lhe

Museum. The Boyd Post-doc program is committed to the sort of interdisciplinary research that Dr.
Boyd considered essential to our institution. An endowed post-doc program greatly enhances the
academic profile of the Field, moving us toward greater parity with major research universities, and
forms the basis for a program that, as prioritized in the Strategic Planning process, will expand into one
comparable with the long-established and extensive post-doc programs at AMNH and NMNH. The
Boyd Post-docs, one conducting research on plant-insect interactions in Botany and Zoology, the other
studying public anthropology in CCUC, will join the Museum in the summer and fall, respectively.

The quality of the science in an institution such as ours is only as strong as the quality of its people. The
new faces recently welcomed to our staff, and those anticipated in the near future, promise to further
strengthen an already excellent staff roster and a world-class array of programs. The next 100 or so
pages give specifics on the wide range of research, educational, and service activities carried out by
Academic Affairs staff over the past year. An extremely brief highlights summary would include
thirteen books, more than 200 publications in leading academic journals, edited volumes, and popular
publications, $3.6 million in competitive grant awards ($1.2 million from the National Science
Foundation alone), mentoring of 95 summer interns and supervision of more than 80 resident graduate
students, and the teaching of 20-odd graduate and undergraduate courses at area universities. The
Museum also sponsored two major symposia, the 1999 A. Watson Armour III Spring Symposium, "El Nifio
in Peru: Biology and Culture over 10,000 years," and “Ecology and the Chicago Region: From Cowles to
Chicago Wilderness,” as well as hosting the 1999 Soil Ecology Society International Congress, which
welcomed an international array of scientists, and a meeting of the Science Team for NASA's Near
Earth Asteroid Rendezvous (NEAR) spacecraft mission.

Field Museum researchers logged untold numbers of miles in the field in 1999, conducting collecting
expeditions, museum studies, and biodiversity surveys in more than thirty countries, and across the
length and breadth of the Unites States. As usual, our scientists were on the forefront of new
discoveries, including the announcement in Science of two new dinosaurs from Madagascar thought to be
the world’s oldest, the confirmation of a new high-elevation species of Nolana in Peru (a desert-
dwelling group of plants), and a new species of fish from Guatemala. (A February 1999 National
Geographic article highlights the biodiversity surveys conducted by Steve Goodman, Field Biologist in
Zoology, crediting him with the discovery of literally hundreds of new species over the past decade.)

The Museum was also extremely active in its conservation efforts. Environmental and Conservation
Programs (ECP) Director Debby Moskovits and Conservation Ecologists Bil Alverson, Robin Foster and
Tom Schulenberg conducted a rapid assessment in Pando, a region in far northern (Amazonian) Bolivia,
to survey the conservation potential of two forests near the Peruvian border, in collaboration with other
scientists from the Brookfield Zoo, the Colecci6n Boliviana de Fauna, the Universidad Amazonia de
Pando, New York University and State University of New York (Stony Brook). Two aquatic rapid
assessments were also conducted in 1999, with international teams of scientists led by Associate Curator
Barry Chernoff (Zoology/Fishes). An April AquaRAP surveyed the San Pedro River in Guatemala,
part of the Peten, the largest freshwater wetland in all of Central America, and a second, in August,
was conducted in the Rio Pastaza, in Ecuador and in Peru; AquaRAP aims to determine what impact
certain environmental threats would have on aquatic systems, and thus provides information about
sustainable use of those ecosystems.

Many other Field Museum curators have developed strong conservation components in their research
programs, such as Associate Curator Larry Heaney (Zoology /Mammals), who was recently appointed a
member of Conservation International’s Philippines Science Advisory Board, and is currently
participating in a national effort within the country to develop a scientifically-based priority plan for
development of its national park system. Thanks in large part to the efforts of Heaney and colleagues,
the Philippines was listed as the "hottest of the conservation hotspots" in a recent CI review of global
conservation priorities, and the Museum continues to provide a primary site for advanced training of
Filipino conservation biologists—three such visitors in 1999 produced the first field guides to the
mammals, plants, and frogs of the Philippines, in collaboration with Robin Foster of ECP.

In terms of grant success, 1999 was another exceptionally strong year. A total of $5.6 million in awards
were processed through Academic Affairs’ Office of Sponsored Programs, ably directed by Deborah
Bakken. Of that figure, $3.6 million were awarded to research initiatives or collections improvement/
access projects, with a third of that coming from the National Science Foundation. The whole spectrum
of Field Museum science is represented in these awards. For example, a major grant under the National
Science Foundation's PEET ("Partnership for Enhancing Expertise in Taxonomy") program was awarded
to Riidiger Bieler (Zoology) and Co-PI Paula Mikkelsen (Research Associate, Zoology, and AMNH) for
a project on bivalves, funded at a level of nearly $ 1.1 million ($750,000 from NSF, the balance from
participating institutions). The PEET program targets groups for which an urgent need for monographic
research and the training of new specialists has been recognized. NSF also awarded a research grant in
the amount of $99,960 to Curator Olivier Rieppel (Geology) for a project on placodonts, a marine reptile
from the Upper Triassic. Rieppel’s study will conclude the global revision of Triassic stem-group
Sauropterygia which he has been pursuing for several years, resulting in a volume on that group for the
Encyclopedia of Paleoherpetology that he has been commissioned to write. The Center for Cultural
Understanding and Change was awarded $100,000 by the MacArthur Foundation in support of its Urban
Research Initiative, which aims to utilize ethnographic research to understand social change in 21st
century urban environments. ECP staff and collaborators from other departments succeeded in securing a
number of grants to support conservation and environmental efforts, including an operating support grant
($750,000), and a grant to support the development of the Birds of Peru volume ($40,000) from the
MacArthur Foundation, as well as $350,000 from the Mellon Foundation for the Rapid Reference
Collection in tropical botany. The Comer Science & Education Foundation awarded grants totaling
$445,000 to three aquatic research projects in Zoology, supporting the field components of two fish
projects—Barry Chernoff’s freshwater “Orinoco Project,” and Mark Westneat’s marine “Solomon
Islands /Santa Cruz Expeditions”—and an invertebrate study, Rtidiger Bieler and Paula Mikkelsen’s
“Documenting Molluscan Diversity in the Florida Keys.”

By all measures the year 1999 witnessed an increase in both the quality, and the pace, of achievement
in our collections and research programs. Thanks to the guidance of the Board of Trustees, the Strategic
Planning effort promises to further strengthen these core Museum functions in the near future, with major
upgrades in collections care and access, endowed curatorships, additional collections staff, and major
laboratory upgrades. The Trustees also reaffirmed the Museum’s commitment to environmental
conservation, and endorsed the expansion of its environmental programs and its dedication to
conservation action efforts.

These concrete outcomes of the Strategic Planning process are immensely important, but the opportunity
for sustained self-evaluation and benchmarking also proved to be enormously useful to Academic
Affairs. The process not only helped determine key needs and areas for reallocation and/or growth, but
it also reinforced in tangible terms the level of excellence we have achieved over the last few years. It
is appropriate here, however briefly, to acknowledge the efforts of the Trustee Leaders for the
Environment, Collections, and Research Teams: Susan A. Willetts, Worley H. Clark and Miles D.
White, respectively. Their commitment, leadership and wisdom pushed the process beyond an
“exercise” to the level of tangible goals, and substantive outcomes that we are already beginning to
witness. The staff of Academic Affairs who served as staff representatives on these Teams are grateful
for the opportunity to have assisted the Trustees in their considerations. As members of the Museum
staff who have been closely involved with the Collections and Research Committee of the Board over
the past decade, we would also like to take this opportunity to thank Mr. Clark for his six years of
leadership as Chair of the Collections and Research Committee of the Board, as we welcome Mr.
White as his successor.

One of the central issues that emerged from the Strategic Planning process—a challenge explicitly
posed by the Trustees—is the need for the Museum’s “behind-the-scenes” science consistently to inform
its exhibits and public education programs. This integration defines the Museum’s potential to be
unique, and is the key to differentiating itself from other institutions, in Chicago and around the world.
But this uniqueness depends directly on the excellence and reputation of the research institution.
While new exhibits and individual high-profile discoveries have important benefits to the Museum, a
top-quality curatorial faculty invests the Museum with an engine for continuing discoveries that

PA

provides value far beyond a single exhibit. The explorations conducted by our scientists every day in
the labs, collections, and out in the field, forms the core “product” of the Museum, the knowledge base
that informs the learning that we share in our public halls. It is the work carried out every day by 200-
plus research and collections staff (and students, associates, and volunteers) that fuels the public’s
fascination with the institution, and with the kinds of knowledge that the Museum not only holds, but
creates. Aswe continue to expand the scope and caliber of our staff, we will accelerate our capacity to
do ground-breaking science and thereby strengthen that intellectual foundation. The faculty and staff
in Academic Affairs look forward with enthusiasm to advancing the knowledge creation behind the
scenes, and using that knowledge to contribute in a real way to the Museum’s public outreach mission at
all levels.

CENTER FOR CULTURAL UNDERSTANDING AND CHANGE

“Understanding Cultural Diversity”

The collections of material culture housed in The Field Museum under the care of the Anthropology
Department have been a rich source of knowledge about different aspects of the human experience
through time. They are clues of sorts to the life ways, technologies, and histories of peoples who have
lived or continue to live in a wide variety of environments around the world.

One of the most important aspects of human life upon which the collections can shed light is the way
that humans have used natural resources and shaped their habitats.

Indeed, a major emphasis of museum anthropology has been to explain the place of human beings
within the natural world. The Field Museum is a leader in the effort to put the expertise gained from
the interpretation of all our collections—natural and cultural—to the service of better care and
protection of the world’s environments.

Anthropological research on cultural variations indicates that the relationship between humans and
their environments has been enormously complex. While much has been learned, much still remains to
be discovered about the ways in which contemporary, as well as ancient, patterns of resource use

have left their mark on both cultural and natural landscapes. New research is helping us move beyond
old paradigms of thinking that divided the world into neat categories such as “natural” and “cultural”
or “primitive” and “modern” toward a more useful understanding of the processes underlying dynamic
and changing ecosystems of which humans are an integral part.

Some of the most exciting research is an interdisciplinary effort among ecologists, linguists, cognitive
scientists, and anthropologists to study the links between cultural diversity and biological diversity.
Scientists who have studied the linguistic and knowledge systems of indigenous people in the lowland
rain forests of Southern Mexico and in Amazonia have found that they have a large repertoire of
referents and taxonomies about the flora and fauna of their environments. Anthropologists and
geographers have also noted a high correlation between areas where indigenous peoples live and
zones of high biological diversity. Research remains to be done on what the significance of such
correlations are, and on the ways in which maintenance of cultural diversity can help preserve
biological diversity.

Yet it would be over-simplistic to say that these seeming links mean that indigenous peoples are the
“natural” stewards of the environment. Archeological and historical research has shown that people’s
shaping of the environment has led at times to its degradation, and that current patterns of

destruction are not entirely new. Additionally, indigenous cultures have changed significantly as
indigenous people have steadily lost access to their homelands and have experienced in often
traumatic ways the effects of industrialization and intensive resource exploitation caused by Western
economic systems. As a result, they have lost considerable knowledge about how to manage natural
resources without degrading their environment.

Today, diverse knowledge systems and perspectives are required to find solutions to the problems of
environmental destruction. Neither indigenous knowledge nor scientific knowledge alone will contain
the answer. The Center for Cultural Understanding and Change is working with Environment and
Conservation Programs to forge new ways to integrate scientific and local knowledge toward devising
better and more effective conservation strategies. The first project we plan to undertake will be to
develop a conservation plan for a reserve in the Pando region of Western
Bolivia, a vast stretch of forest that has long been managed and maintained by indigenous people and
subsistence-oriented horticulturalists whose main livelihood comes from extracting rubber and
gathering Brazil nuts. This managed ecosystem is apparently an important habitat for several species
of primates, as well as other fauna. Working in collaboration with a number of international and local
organizations, The Field Museum team of anthropologists, educators, biologists, ecologists, and
botanists will work on a conservation plan that can prevent wholesale logging and other forms of

-15-

intense resource exploitation that will destroy this long-sustained ecosystem.

But threatened ecosystems do not only exist in remote areas; nor is the potential of cultural diversity
limited to people who reside in seemingly exotic locales. Indeed, the majority of the world’s
population live in urban regions and cities and are having a major impact on the global environment
through patterns of energy and resource consumption. Yet, even within urban areas, we are finding
diverse micro-environments, including “wilderness” areas, and we are finding that a critical element
for managing urban resource use may be understanding and valuing diverse ways in which people
appreciate and use resources within the urban landscape. Here, where economic and cultural forces
seem to exert tremendous pressure for cultural “homogenization,” we find that people still find ways to
maintain different ways of thinking and acting.

For example, research conducted through CCUC’s urban research initiative, supported in part by The
John D. and Catherine T. MacArthur Foundation and The John Nuveen Company, indicates that in the
Calumet Lake region on the far South Side of Chicago, people have maintained and valued wetland
and prairie remnants. Local residents recounted their memories of fish to be found in the lakes and
discussed their attachment to the region, despite its current devastated appearance, a result of the
accumulation of brownfield areas and garbage landfills. In the next year, CCUC hopes to do further
research in this region on the social and human ecology that will complement the on-going

work ECP scientists are doing to document the biological diversity of the region. Similarly, we’ve
documented the ways in which African-American urban gardeners in North Lawndale draw on
generationally transmitted lore about horticultural techniques from the South (especially the
Mississippi delta) to create dense varieties of cultigens on formerly “vacant” lots. Research like this on
the human-environmental interface in urban contexts will be vitally important in the long-run if we are
to improve the quality of life in our cities.

The complexity of cultural diversity mirrors the depth of biological diversity still to be found around
the world and here at home. The collections of The Field Museum are a testament to the intimate ways
in which humans are bound up with all other life on earth. Even as basic field and collections-based
research across the disciplines uncovers the processes and pathways through which we are linked on
the Tree of Life, the efforts of CCUC and ECP can direct that research toward the efforts necessary to
sustain a balanced approach to resource use and environmental conservation.

CENTER FOR CULTURAL UNDERSTANDING AND CHANGE

Programs and Initiatives

The Center for Cultural Understanding and Change (CCUC) considerably expanded the scope of the
dissemination of anthropological research through public programs, and through training and research
initiatives as a result of continued success in obtaining grants for its projects. The Center’s vital role in
fulfilling the mission of the Museum to deepen awareness of cultural diversity is reflected in the new
strategic plan. CCUC will be active in the Museum’s efforts to improve the quality of urban life
through its urban anthropology programs. The Center will also be instrumental in the Museum’s
leadership initiatives to develop new models for environmental conservation centered on active roles
for local people as managers and protectors of natural resources. CCUC Director Alaka Wali, External
Affairs Manager Jacqueline Gray, and Special Projects Coordinator Madeleine Tudor continue to
develop several innovative programs within these areas. Due to the increase of projects and programs,
an additional half-time position of Administrative Assistant was added to the staff.

Special Initiatives

“Cultural Connections” is an initiative of the Center and developed in partnership with area ethnic
museums and cultural centers. With anthropology and collections as its foundation, the program engages
participants in a cultural exploration that uncovers the universal connections between us all. There are
fifteen institutions participating, including the seven partners from the previous year’s program. The
partners are the Balzekas Museum of Lithuanian Culture, Chicago Historical Society, Chicago
Japanese Historical Society, Czechoslovak Heritage Museum, DuSable Museum of African American
History, Filipino American Historical Society of Chicago, Hellenic Museum and Cultural Center,
Korean American Resource and Cultural Center, Mexican Fine Arts Center Museum, Polish Museum of
America, Saint Andrew’s Scottish Society, Spertus Museum, Swedish American Museum, and the
Ukrainian National Museum.

The “Urban Research Programs” of CCUC grew in 1999 through three initiatives. First, the
collaborative work with The Oakton Project, funded in part by The John D. and Catherine T.
MacArthur Foundation was completed. Ethnographer Rebecca Severson gathered and then analyzed
data on this community performance project. The ethnography that resulted demonstrates the powerful
ways in which artistic endeavors can transform community perspectives and engage people’s
imagination and creative energy. Additionally, the Center facilitated the creation of a small exhibit
on the project that was displayed at the local elementary school, from which the project stemmed.
This first-time collaboration on an exhibit housed outside the Museum and done for a community
demonstrates that The Field Museum has the capacity to reach out in innovative ways to our
constituencies. The creation of the Oakton exhibit was cited in the successful proposal to the National
Science Foundation for the exhibit Chocolate! as an example of the Museum’s collaborative work.
CCUC also hosted The Oakton Project’s performance of Crossroads at The Field Museum.

Second, the Center entered into a new partnership with the Chicago Center for Arts Policy of Columbia
College. Alaka Wali is serving as the Principal Investigator of an important new research study
examining the social impact of the “Informal Arts” on civic life in the Chicago metropolitan region.
The research study will investigate an under-documented phenomenon: the efforts at creative
expression undertaken by people outside of the commercial and institutional arts arenas. The study’s
objectives are to understand the vital role that art plays in everyday life for a broad sector of the
population. The study will last two years and funds awarded from the study will be used to support
further urban initiatives of CCUC.

Finally, CCUC was able to expand the “Civic Activism in City Life” program as a result of an
additional grant from the MacArthur Foundation and through the continued support from the John
Nuveen Company. The summer internship program almost doubled in size, training 15 students (up from
eight the previous summer) and collaborating with ten community-based organizations. The results of
the student’s research were presented at a special event at the end of the summer. In the fall,
discussions with the community based organizations on how to build on the findings of the research

continued. In the meantime, the new CCUC web pages featuring the work of the 1998 summer program
went “online.” CCUC is learning much about our city and the innovative solutions that people are
devising to solve problems. This knowledge contributes to our overall understanding of how cultural and
social factors shape our social relationships. The knowledge will also help the museum design new
public programs that can bring the understanding of contemporary life into the comparative framework
of our understanding of humans around the globe—in the present, as well as in the past—that has been
our strength.

The “Community Conservation” Program continues the Center’s interdisciplinary work to promote a
greater understanding of human interaction with the environment and how we can more effectively
promote conservation goals. In 1999, CCUC embarked on an exciting initiative with Environment and
Conservation Programs (ECP) and the Education Department to develop a new initiative in community
conservation. The initiative will have a local and an international face. On the local level, CCUC
has submitted a proposal to the National Science Foundation for funds to conduct research in the Lake
Calumet region of Chicago, where we hope to promote stronger community efforts in wilderness
conservation. At the international level, the Center started working with ECP on the development of a
conservation plan for the Pando region of Western Bolivia, a forested area known especially as a
primate habitat. The project is a joint effort of the Field Museum, The Brookfield Zoo and World
Wildlife Fund.

Contributions to Public Programs

In 1999, CCUC made major contributions to several key special exhibits. First, in conjunction with the
summer exhibit, The Art of Being Kuna, the Center, with special project funds from the Academic
Affairs Division, hosted a wonderful delegation of Kuna leaders from their native territory, “Kuna
Yala,” on the Caribbean Coast of Panama. The delegation consisted of one of the three major Caciques
(High Chiefs) of Kuna Yala, accompanied by the Secretary of Kuna Yala, together with two of the
officers of the Kuna Yala Women’s Mola Cooperative and a renowned Kuna educator who has
pioneered bicultural educational curriculum development. During their stay in Chicago, the Kuna
delegation attended a special program at the Native American Educational Services (NAES)
College—hosted by Faith Smith, the President of NAES and a Field Museum Trustee. In that special
evening, experiences were shared by Indian peoples with the common goal of preserving their cultural
heritage. CCUC also facilitated a visit of the Kuna delegation to the MacArthur Foundation where
they presented a proposals to support the work of the Kuna General Congress and the Mola
Cooperative. The Kuna delegation took part in a number of programs during the weekend the exhibit
opened, including the impressive opening ceremonies, mola craft demonstrations, and a major
presentation to the Cultural Collections Committee. Also taking part were leading anthropological
scholars who have conducted research in Kuna Yala, including the curator of the exhibit. In addition to
this delegation, later in the summer, the Center hosted another delegation from Panama, of two Kuna
and one Panamanian ecologists who have been in the forefront of the struggle to preserve the biological
diversity of Kuna Yala and Panama’s Carribbean Coast. The delegation took part in a day-long
program highlighting the role of indigenous people in the environmental protection efforts. The
program also showcased local efforts, including those of the Menominee Indians of Wisconsin and our
own Chicago Wilderness. Again, the cross-cultural perspective helped audiences understand the
common concerns that underlie efforts in vastly different places.

Second, Alaka Wali served as content specialist for the exhibit Sounds from the Vaults. Additionally,
CCUC worked with the Education Department on the programs for the opening ceremony for the
exhibit. During the annual meetings of the American Anthropological Association, CCUC hosted a
reception for the Council on Museum Anthropology that featured Sounds from the Vaults. The exhibit
drew rave reviews from the anthropologists in attendance.

Finally, CCUC organized several seminars and lectures helping to bring in local scholars, such as
Professor James Brown of Northwestern University and Professor James L. Phillips, University of
Illinois at Chicago, as well as others, such as Professor Alexander Moore of University of Southern
California, Professor James Howe of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, and Professor Mari Lyn
Salvador of the University of New Mexico.

ENVIRONMENTAL AND CONSERVATION PROGRAMS

In 1995, as it entered its second century, The Field Museum renewed its commitment to biodiversity and
conservation by launching a new interdepartmental initiative: Environmental and Conservation
Programs (ECP). ECP focuses on linking the wealth of the Museum's scientific and collection resources
with the immediate needs of conservation at the regional, national, and international levels. A central
goal of ECP is to catalyze science-based action for conservation throughout the Museum.

Collaborations form the core of ECP’s activities. Expanded partnerships within the Museum, as well as
with Chicago Wilderness, local and international conservation organizations, and in-country research
institutions enable the Museum’s rapid inventories—in the tropics and in Illinois—to draw together the
best field experts to address urgent inventory needs and to stimulate action. In 1999, with the support of
the MacArthur Foundation, ECP collaborated with scientists from Brookfield Zoo, the Colecci6n
Boliviana de Fauna, the Universidad Amazonica de Pando, New York University, and the State
University of New York/Stony Brook to conduct a rapid assessment of forests targeted for immediate
logging in the biologically diverse Pando region of northern Bolivia. The inventory results, subsequent
meetings with government officials, and continued negotiations among our Bolivian partners have led
the timber company to alter its plans and set aside an 85,000-hectare biological reserve in the area. As
details for the reserve are finalized, steps already are underway for a comprehensive conservation plan
for western Pando, a collaborative international initiative spurred by the rapid inventory.

Similarly, a recent AquaRAP (Aquatic Rapid Assessment Program, a partnership with Conservation
International), led by Barry Chernoff in Zoology (Fishes), resulted in 1999 in the establishment of a
10,000-hectare aquatic preservation area in the Pantanal region of South America. Originally a joint
program between ECP and Zoology, AquaRAP is now led by the Zoology Department.

Collaborations among Zoology, Botany, and ECP underlie the success of the regional initiative Illinois
Rapid Assessment Program (IRAP). Protocols for rapid assessments in temperate regions will be
available in 2000. One of the IRAP pilot sites, Swallow Cliff Woods, is also the focus of a multiyear
collaboration between the Museum and the Forest Preserve District of Cook County. This research
tracks the effects of brush removal and burning on several organisms of the critically endangered oak-
woodland community.

Meanwhile, creative use of the Museum’s collections is transforming them into invaluable tools for
conservation and training. In 1999, the Mellon Foundation renewed its support of the Rapid Reference
Collection in the herbarium. This selected subset of herbarium sheets is organized to meet the pressing
need of conservation ecologists for accelerated identification. And in continued work with Cornell
Laboratory of Ornithology, ECP scientists are assembling series of bird vocalizations onto compact
discs—a new resource to transfer expertise in bird identification to local scientists and land managers.

In its commitment to enlist participation of the human communities in and around diverse and
threatened ecosystems, the Museum forged a new partnership to bring Earth Force's Community Action
and Problem Solving (CAPS) to the Lake Calumet region. CAPS enables youths in grades 5-9 to change
their communities and to care for the environment. This collaboration with Earth Force strongly
complements conservation education programs that the Museum has catalyzed—Mighty Acorns (a
program in hands-on restoration that targets grades 4-6), Junior Earth Team (a collaboration with the
U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and the Chicago Park District, targeting underserved teens), and the
Illinois Department of Natural Resources’ UrbanWatch for high school students and adults. This rich
array of programs facilitates longitudinal participation in active conservation and stewardship.

In the Amazonian lowlands of Ecuador—a region with more biological riches than anywhere else on

Earth—ECP continues to strengthen its partnership with the Cofan indigenous community of Zabalo,
working to establish a broad-based framework for conservation in the Cuyabeno Wildlife Reserve.

THE FIELD MUSEUM AND CHICAGO WILDERNESS

In 1996, a coalition of diverse and determined organizations launched a new force on the landscape.
Their vision led to Chicago Wilderness, a vital, 200,000-acre mosaic of natural land embedded in the
third-largest metropolitan area in the United States. In this vision, the region's human communities
reclaim a cultural tradition of restoring, protecting, and managing the globally outstanding natural
communities that enrich our lives. In the three years since its creation by the 34 founding organizations,
the ranks of Chicago Wilderness have expanded to 98 member institutions, including practitioners,
government and non-governmental organizations, and educational institutions, among others. From the
beginning, The Field Museum has been among the leading participants of Chicago Wilderness.

The roadmap for Chicago Wilderness is its Biodiversity Recovery Plan. A product of three years of
intensive effort, the Recovery Plan creates a vision for the future of biological diversity in the region.
The document classifies and describes natural communities; identifies communities and species at risk,
as well as the forces that threaten them; and recommends goals and strategies in ecological restoration,
protection, management, education, and public policy. Field Museum scientists and educators have
contributed greatly both to the evolution of the Recovery Plan itself and to actions that further its
goals. In December 1999, the Northeast Illinois Planning Commission, an authority on development
issues for the region, unanimously adopted the Biodiversity Recovery Plan.

Highlights of The Field Museum’s work in Chicago Wilderness during 1999 reflect both the Recovery
Plan and the Museum's strategy for Environment and Conservation.

Rapid inventories of biological diversity

In 1999, the Illinois Rapid Assessment Program (IRAP), a collaboration between The Field Museum and
the Illinois Department of Natural Resources (IDNR), completed three years of fieldwork. IRAP
focuses on intensive yet time-effective inventories of the biological richness of sites in Chicago
Wilderness. In 2000, a detailed IRAP report will present and integrate the results for four test sites and
eight groups of focal organisms and describe protocols for rapid inventory in temperate regions.

Conservation design

Over the past year, Environmental and Conservation Programs (ECP) has led a Recovery Plan effort in
conservation design: the direct derivation of conservation goals and strategies from biological values
and threats to those values. Our aim has been to unify regional efforts toward agendas for ecological
research, inventory, and monitoring that support adaptive management in Chicago Wilderness.
Results led to a recommended action plan for the Science and Land Management Teams of Chicago
Wilderness.

Citizen science

The Field Museum made great strides in the development of UrbanWatch, the newest addition to the
statewide program EcoWatch, fostered by IDNR. EcoWatch trains the public (including adults and
schoolchildren) in protocols for ecological monitoring and habitat characterization. The data from
these citizen scientists allow IDNR to evaluate trends in the health of Illinois ecosystems.
UrbanWatch focuses on urban ecology in Chicago Wilderness.

Biodiversity education

Mighty Acorns, managed jointly by The Field Museum and The Nature Conservancy, expanded in 1999
to involve 18 partners and 5,000 urban 4-6" graders in exploration and stewardship of the prairies,
woodlands, and wetlands of the Chicago metropolitan area.

In 1999, ECP took lessons learned in Chicago Wilderness to partners in Hawaii, Mexico City, and
Brazil, all of which seek successful models for saving nature in the metropolis. Collaborations with a
budding effort in Brazil led to their accelerated launching of the Condominio da Biodiversidade to
protect critically endangered Atlantic Forest fragments in the urban center of Curitiba.

THE FIELD MUSEUM WEB SITE

The Field Museum’s web site continued to show impressive growth in 1999. The site drew more than one
million visitors (1,103,574)—an increase of 222% over 1998 (495,692). Visitors also spent more time
browsing the site, averaging 9.87 minutes in 1999, up from 7.64 minutes in 1998. Significant peaks in
usage occurred on March 18™ when the McDonald’s Fossil Preparation Laboratory web camera went
live, and on October 22" when Public Relations announced the possible discovery of the world’s oldest
dinosaur by John Flynn, MacArthur Curator, Fossil Mammals.

Several new projects generated continued interest in the web site. A companion site for the temporary
exhibition Women in Science went on-line in January, developed in collaboration with the Women in
Science Exhibits team. The site features interviews with thirteen women scientists working at The
Field Museum, and includes how they became interested in science, who served as role models, and
advice on developing a career in science.

A new web site on the Museum's research, collections, exhibits, and training programs in Africa
launched in February in conjunction with the Museum’s African Heritage Festival. This site serves as
the companion piece to the award-winning brochure on Africa published by Academic Affairs last fall.

An interactive, educational web site for the new permanent exhibit Underground Adventure was
launched in March, developed in collaboration with the Education Department and an outside vendor.
This site contains movies of the exhibit, a teachers’ curriculum, and a virtual terrarium that illustrates
the dynamic relationships among plants and animals that live in soil.

A companion web site for the Sounds from the Vaults temporary exhibition was developed in
collaboration with the Exhibits Department and an outside vendor. The site allows web visitors to
play on-line several musical instruments from the Museum’s collection.

In July, the web team coordinated the installation of a web camera to accompany the opening of the
temporary exhibit The Tibetan Art of Healing. Over a period of two weeks, web visitors could watch as
Tibetan monks created a sand mandala in the Museum’s Stanley Field Hall.

Several new research sites also were added to the web site. Kathleen Pryer, Assistant Curator,
Pteridophytes developed the site, “Phylogeny, character evolution, and diversification of extant
ferns.” This site was recognized as outstanding by the HMS Beagle and the Scout Report for Science and
Engineering. This recognition was also awarded to the site “The Mushroom Genus Laccaria in North
America,” developed by Greg Mueller, Associate Curator, Mycology. “ The Singer Index,” developed by
Mueller and Qiuxin Wu, Collections Manager, Mycology, features an index and bibliography of
mycologist Rolf Singer's 440 publications as a searchable database.

The “Parker/Gentry Award” web site, developed by Environmental and Conservation Programs,
highlights recipients of The Parker/Gentry Award given to honor an outstanding individual, team, or
organization in the field of conservation biology. Robin Foster, Conservation Ecologist, launched the
“Rapid Color Guides” site as part of a program to produce tools to speed up recognition and
identification of organisms, particularly plants of the American Tropics.

On October 22"" the Museum launched a completely updated web site. Rebuilt to brand it with the
Museum's new identity, and to improve navigability for users, this major project was the team effort of
Lori Breslauer, Web Manager; Allyson Meyer, Web Developer; and Brad Loetel, former Web Master;
plus staff from nearly every department. Among the new features are "Planning Your Visit," which
has its own section, making it easier for visitors to prepare for a trip to the Museum. The "Calendar of
Events" pulls all public programs into one searchable database, and "Exhibits" offers expanded
information and more images. Membership now has its own section, and the Museum Store has greatly
expanded its presence and includes impressive offerings tied to Museum exhibits.

TRAINING PROGRAMS, 1999

The Field Museum provides a broad range of formal and hands-on training in collections-based research
to high school, undergraduate and graduate students, and young professionals each year. Building on
the Museum’s core subject matter in evolutionary and environmental biology and cultural understanding
and change, these programs meet a variety of needs—from encouraging young students to consider a
career in the sciences, and providing training to minority and women undergraduates (two groups
underrepresented in the sciences), to training young professionals from developing countries to tackle
environmental conservation issues at home. The brief synopsis below provides an overview of 1999
training activities.

HIGH SCHOOL INTERNSHIPS

Biodiversity Explorers Internship Program. This internship program, funded by the Hyndman
Scholarship Fund and the Bannerman Foundation, is designed to encourage high school students to
consider the biological sciences as a career. The program introduces students to environmental biology
and collections-based research through a program of field work, laboratory work, lectures and “behind
the scenes” museum tours. This year, the 5" year of the program, five exceptional students joined the
Museum’s local survey program of insects of the Chicago area. The students went on collecting field
trips once or twice a week to collect specimens at such sites as Swallow Cliff Woods and the Chicago
Forest Preserves. The rest of their time was spent in the lab and collections, processing specimens and
entering data into the Insects database. The students participating in the program were entering Juniors
for fall 1999 at Brother Rice, Maine South, St. Joseph (Westchester), Naperville North, and the
Willows Academy (Des Plaines).

Wood Internship. This summer internship provides support for one Chicago area high school student.
Funded by an endowment, this program allows one junior or senior high school student to get hands-on
experience in collections-based research. This year’s intern assisted with the Department of Zoology’s
insect survey program.

Bug Camp. Bug Camp is a creative program designed to provide students with a real-world experience
that will broaden their view of the natural world and the career opportunities available in the
sciences. Bug Camp was developed at The Field Museum in 1996 and aims to foster the interest and
career development of 7" through 9" grade students in preparation for high school. The students are
exposed to field work and laboratory research, as well as numerous seminars by staff of the Museum’s
Zoology Department. The summer 1999 program hosted nine students from St. Clement School, Chicago,
The University of Chicago Lab School, The Ancona School, Chicago, and Wilmette Junior High School.

Other High School Interns. During 1999 four high school interns worked in Anthropology, three in
Geology’s fossil mammal project (including one listed under the Prince program, below), and four in
various Zoology divisions. Schools represented include Rich Central, Kenwood Academy, Frances
Parker High School, Evanston Township, The Latin School, Waukegan High School, New Trier,
Illinois Math and Science Academy, and Hinsdale Central.

EarthForce/Calumet Program. The Earth Force Community Action and Problem Solving (CAPS)
initiative, a partnership with Environmental and Conservation Programs, began in ten sites (600
students) in the Lake Calumet region in 1999. A service, learning, environmental and civics education
program, EarthForce targets students in grades 5 to 9 and focuses on community environmental issues.
Training for 22 educators at the ten sites (including Lavizzo Elementary School in Roseland, Eastwisch
Girl Scouts in Hegewisch, Minority Health Coalition in LaPorte County, IN) took place in August. The
program runs from September to April.

The Junior Earth Team. In 1999 the U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service renewed its collaboration with the
Museum and the Chicago Park District to engage urban teens in environmental programs and
internships. So far, 120 teens—90% minority—have participated in the Junior Earth Team (JET)

-22-

program, which provides Chicago high school students hands-on experience in education at local
parks, while exposing them to a wide variety of environmental careers. JET students conduct natural
resource surveys, learn about environmental issues both local and international in scope, teach
environmental concepts to younger students, and take monthly field trips to Chicago Wilderness sites.
1999 participating JET parks were Kelvyn, Humboldt, Pulaski, Calumet, Jackson and Margate.

UNDERGRADUATE PROGRAMS

Field Museum Scholarship Committee Internships. Each year The Field Museum supports three-month
internships for undergraduate students and recent graduates to work directly with scientists at The
Field Museum. For summer 1999, internships were awarded to six students from Northwestern
University, Beloit College, University of Hawaii at Manoa, Wellesley College, University of
California—Berkeley, and the University of Chicago. The students worked on research projects in
Anthropology, Geology, and Zoology (one in Birds and one in Fishes).

Native American Internship Program. Since 1990 the Museum has offered internships for Native
American students to work with the Museum’s Native American collections. The interns assist with the
Museum’s repatriation program, inventory individual tribal collections, conduct research to respond to
repatriation requests, and assist with visits of Native Americans to The Field Museum collections. Two
interns, one from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago and one from University of Illinois at
Chicago, worked with the collections during 1999.

Prince Visiting Scholars Program. This program provides support to recruit and train women and
minority interns at the secondary and college levels. During the summer of 1999 the Prince program
supported eight undergraduate interns in Botany, Zoology (Amphibians and Reptiles), and the Center
for Cultural Understanding and Change. Schools represented include Iowa State University, Knox
College, University of Illinois at Chicago, and the University of Chicago. In addition, one high school
student from Ithaca High School in Ithaca, NY worked in the Geology Department’s fossil mammal
collection with the support of the Prince program.

Urban Research Internship Program. This is a new program in the Center for Cultural Understanding
and Change, in which graduate and undergraduate social science students provide ethnographic
research for Chicago community-based organizations and receive training in qualitative analysis and
innovative strategies of public education at The Field Museum. It is one component of a larger urban
research initiative to document and learn from social processes in the metropolitan region, furthering
the Museum’s commitment to develop connections with the local community. During 1999 nine
undergraduate and six graduate students participated in the program, which is supported by the
MacArthur Foundation.

Other Undergraduate Internships. In Anthropology seventeen undergraduate interns worked on a
variety of paid or for-credit projects, ranging from training in collection management and conservation
techniques, to assistance with the Paul Martin archaeological collection, to research on African
archaeology. Schools represented include University of Illinois at Chicago, Queens University in
Toronto, and Loyola University. Eight students worked on Botany collections and research projects
during the year, hailing from such schools as the University of Chicago, Kenyon College, and Reed
College (Portland, OR). Four students from the California State University system worked on the
preparation of the fossil T. rex “Sue,” and five other undergraduate students (University of Chicago,
Harold Washington College) worked on Geology projects relating to fossil mammals, meteorite
research, and invertebrate paleontology. In Zoology, six students worked on a range of collections and
research projects supported by grant or department funds. The interns were students from the University
of Illinois at Chicago, University of Chicago, and the School of the Art Institute. In Environmental and
Conservation Programs, seven undergraduates (from the University of Chicago, Illinois State
University, and the University of St. Francis, Joliet), funded by the Illinois Department of Natural
Resources, worked on spider and insect-related projects, including identification of spiders from
Swallow Cliff Woods, creation of Spider Field Guides, and research.

PROFESSIONAL OR GRADUATE PROGRAMS

UrbanWatch. UrbanWatch, a collaboration with the Ilinois Department of Natural Resources, is a
high school and adult volunteer program that focuses on creating biological profiles for urban sites: city
parks, tree-lined streets, schoolyards. The goal is to develop management plans that favor native
plants and animals—from snails to butterflies to migrating birds. The fourth UrbanWatch pilot was
completed in summer 1999. The one-day pilots engaged 41 volunteers, who provided feedback on the
UrbanWatch protocols developed by scientific staff in Zoology, Botany and Environmental and
Conservation Programs.

Conservation Training Consortium (CTC). This collaborative effort between The Field Museum,
Brookfield Zoo, and the University of Illinois at Chicago, funded by the MacArthur Foundation,
provides intensive training in conservation biology for young faculty or conservation leaders from
developing countries, especially in the tropics. The goal is to train the conservation leaders of tropical
countries, who will be able to put into immediate practice their newly gained experience and expertise.
This consortium grew out of its successful predecessor, the Advanced Training Program for Conservation
Biology. Since 1994, 67 ATP/CTC participants from thirty countries have acquired the tools necessary
for assessing biological diversity and have become better equipped to help establish conservation
programs and direct biodiversity policies in their own countries. Eleven scientists participated in 1999;
participants with Field Museum advisors include a botanist from the Universidad de Los Andes in
Colombia, an ornithologist from the Ghana Wildlife Service, and an ornithologist from the
Universidad de San Marcos in Peru.

Uganda field course. David Willard, Collection Manager of Birds, conducted a field course in ecology
and conservation in Uganda during summer 1999. This was the third year of a 4-year project, supported
by a training grant from the MacArthur Foundation to Adjunct Curator, Julian Kerbis

(Zoology /Mammals).

African Biodiversity Training Program. Under the direction of Dave Willard (Collection Manager of
Birds) and Adjunct Curator Julian Kerbis (Zoology/Mammals) this program sponsored the extended
visits of professionals from the National Museums of Kenya, the Museum of Zoology, Makerere
University, Kampala, Uganda, and the Islamic University in Mbale, Uganda. The visitors studied the
medicinal potential of certain east African plants, received training in specimen preparation and
curatorial techniques, and gained experience in the preparation of research proposals.

Ecology Training Program. The Field Museum and World Wildlife Fund (WWF) Madagascar are joint
collaborators in a training program for Malagasy students that provides field and classroom training in
the biological sciences through a program of research field trips in Madagascar, seminars at the
Université d’Antananarivo, and collections work at the Museum.

University of Chicago - Committee on Evolutionary Biology (CEB). This doctoral-degree granting
program within the division of Biological Sciences at the University of Chicago is a collaboration
among the University of Chicago, The Field Museum, Brookfield Zoo, and Argonne National
Laboratory. It trains doctoral students for research and teaching careers in evolutionary biology. Field
Museum curators are actively involved in the Committee on Evolutionary Biology graduate training
program and make up the largest number of CEB faculty, comprising nearly half of its faculty.

Resident Graduate Students. Field Museum scientists lend their expertise to both undergraduate and
graduate instruction at universities in the Chicago area and around the world. Many Field Museum
staff taught undergraduate courses and graduate seminars during 1999, and also participated
extensively as graduate student advisors and committee members. In 1999 The Field Museum provided
training in collections-based research to over eighty resident graduate students attending the
University of Chicago, the University of Illinois at Chicago, Northern Illinois University, Governors
State University, Northeastern Illinois University, as well as the University of Florida, the
University of Tennessee, the University of Sao Paulo, and the National University of Singapore.

COMPUTER SERVICES

Computer Services (CS) is charged with supporting and coordinating diverse computer related
activities at The Field Museum. This includes both central and departmental based computing
equipment. Computer Services has full responsibility for certain systems used by every department —
central systems and services (the computing equivalent of the lights in each office and building heat).
In addition, whenever a department adds a computer, adds software, or connects to the network, CS
staff is there to advise and assist. Other activities include consulting with departments in the
purchase of new hardware, software and related items. We manage vendor relationships, help with
purchasing, and shop for effective price, service and delivery. CS is frequently called upon to
redistribute existing equipment so that it is used more effectively. The department handles most repair
and upgrade requests, fixing or replacing problem computers. The important functions of backing up
servers in a timely fashion, server system and network security are also CS responsibilities.

In a broader perspective, as computer technology is integrated into all aspects of Museum activities,
Computer Services, finds itself as a bridge, or enabling department. More and more, we find ourselves in
a pivotal roll helping the Museum staff realize their goals. We stand between what the Museum needs
to do to be the Museum that we know we can be, and the Museum that we are. The many activities
outlined below are demonstrative of this point of view.

Departmental Highlights

During 1999 several new key server /software systems were installed. Work on these systems involved
CS and other departmental staffs frequently working together with consultants. Installation of these
systems not only met the need for improving the Museum’s capabilities in this area, but also as an
added benefit, obviating Y2K issues.

In Finance, a new Compag Proliant server running the MS-Windows NT operating system was installed
to run Lawson financial software. The system also uses Oracle database software and Crystal Reports.
Later in the year, as a separate project, the Lawson Human Resources module was installed which also
incorporated payroll. The effect of this work was to unify, and thereby, simplify functions heretofore
processed on three different computer systems. Tests have shown that historical financial data can be
converted to Excel spreadsheet format, after which the MicroVAX that was used to support financial
activities will be retired.

A similar strategy was employed with the Paciolan software used by Visitor Services, Special Events
and Education. Paciolan software unified admissions and group scheduling in these areas. This
software runs on a single IBM RS 6000 server running the AIX operating system. In addition to the
server, CS staff installed fifteen new client point of sale systems at the North, South, West doors and
for the Underground Adventure and Cartier exhibits. The Novell server that was used to support
Visitor Services and the Vista software used for group scheduling were discontinued.

In the spring of last year we converted to the new version of Raiser's Edge software from Blackbaud.
This work entailed installing a new Windows NT server and converting data from the previous version
of Raiser's Edge software, which was not Y2K compliant. The MicroVAX that previously supported
this function was retired. Historical data was transferred to two PCs in Development and Membership.

In Special Events, Zeta-fax server software was installed and upgraded to help staff cope with the
high volume of faxes sent and received. The software was upgraded to a Y2K compliant version in the
fall of the year.

For the Museum stores, servers were added and existing system hardware and software were upgraded

late in the year. We also instituted the new Dig It! Store for Underground Adventure and prepared for
the installation for the new Museum store remote location in the United Terminal of O'Hare Airport.

Harris Loan Center systems and software were upgraded to MS-Access not only to make the systems Y2K
compliant, but also to add new features to make the management of loans more efficient.

Late in 1999 we also took the opportunity to install a new Museum-wide e-mail server. This server runs
Redhat Linux 6.1 and has additional features, power, and capacity to keep pace with the increasing use
of e-mail. The system also doubles as the Museum’s name server for the Internet. The old DEC system
5100, e-mail server was not Y2K compliant and was shut down.

In December, CS staff began the first ever attempt to standardize Museum desktop systems on MS-
Office 2000 Professional Software Suite by installing it on all Windows PCs. The effect of this effort
was to obviate any Y2K issues on commonly used software in the Museum and to facilitate better, more
reliable document exchange throughout the Museum. We hope to complete installation of MS-Office on
all of the Museum’s Macintosh computers early in the year.

To further safeguard Museum computers, CS staff installed Norton Anti-virus on about half of the
Museum computers that exhibited the greatest risk. We hope to complete this task in the coming year,
as funds become available.

The DEC Prioris 5133DP server that is used for collections data was upgraded to Y2K compliant version
of SCO Unixware 7.1 and C/base database software 4.3. Collections actively managed on this system
include Birds, Mammals, Geology (part) and Botany loans.

Because of increasing demand in performance and capacity, the year 1999 also saw the installation of a
new Museum Windows NT web server (www.fmnh.org). The old web server, running the same operating
system, was left in service as a web development server.

In 1999 we installed a new Windows NT server for the Division of Amphibians and Reptiles.
Subsequently, with the aid and cooperation of the department's staff, we converted the collection
management application that had run on c/Base to MS-Access. The resulting system was one that
provided many new features and capabilities that gave curators and staff more control over entering,
modifying and reporting on their collection data. Late in the year, CS staff completed the
development of a web interface to make selected collection data available over the Internet. When
this feature is installed on the main web server it will satisfy the last of the terms of the NSF
collection grant to Harold Voris.

Similarly, CS staff also completed a Web interface for collections data access under the terms of
Jonathan Haas' grant to computerize data for the Paul S. Martin Collection. We plan to provide web
access to this data early in the year. Associated with this project is a Windows NT server used to store
various associated images.

Also during the year, computer services staff installed a Windows NT server and Web based software
for logging of data collected about birds under the direction of the Department of Environmental and
Conservation Programs in the Museum. Work on a Web interface for this system continues.

Another milestone for 1999 was the installation of the first leg of the Museums fiber-optic backbone
that runs between the second and ground floors anchored by Cisco switches at each end. Addition of this
segment greatly improved the reliability, manageability and performance of the Museum network.
Further expansion of the backbone is slated for next year to keep abreast of the increasing emphasis on
computer related technologies in Museum programs, exhibits and web related activities.

Departments continued replacing older desktop systems with over 100 new systems installed. Nearly
every new machine is connected to the building network. These activities facilitated a higher level of
information exchange and efficiency among various areas of the Museum, and contributed to information
sharing with researchers and the public consistent with the Museum’s Mission and goals.

OL, MS Windows NT 4.0 server. The system was acquired through an NIH grant to Jonathan Haas
for work related to the Paul S. Martin collection. It is used to store images of related
anthropological artifacts.

Oe: The Library has two OCLC terminals supported by a dedicated line and multiplexer.

33. High-Performance Computing Cluster and other associated systems. Acquired through a grant
to Kathleen Pryer, Francios Lutzoni and Shannon Hackett, these systems were installed and
administered by Jennifer Steinbachs, the Computational Biologist in charge of the project. The
purpose of the systems are for systematics research (cb.fmnh.org).

Desktop Systems

In addition to these larger systems, Field Museum has more than 600 desktop PCs and of these,
approximately 200 are Apple Macintosh PCs. There are an estimated 400 printers of various kinds
being used in the Museum in stand-alone and shared modes. Many systems have attached peripheral
devices, such as flatbed and side scanners, tape Zip and Jazz drives. These systems use a variety of
software, including MS-Office, Lotus SmartSuite, WordPerfect Office, Photoshop, Eudora, Pagemaker,
and many more.

Museum Network

Most of these systems are connected to the Museum network via category 5 (10-base-T) cables and thence
to unmanaged hubs. The hubs in turn are connected to a thickwire (10-base-2) or thinwire (10-base-2)
backbone and a collection of repeaters and switched hubs. In the spring of 1999 we installed the first leg
of a fiber-optic network with 48 multi-mode fiber strands connecting the second floor Computer Services
offices and the Administrative offices on the ground floor. Cisco Catalyst 5505 and 2924 switched hubs
were installed to expand backbone bandwidth, segment the network and allow better management of
the Museums network related activities.

CS regularly replaces, improves, and installs new Museum network cabling, adding network hubs and
other equipment as necessary. We use Category 5, 10BaseT cabling and we now can reach 95% of
building areas, though some computers are still not connected. In the past year many offices were
remodeled and the CS staff were frequently called upon to move equipment and re-establish network
connections.

We support a T1 link (1.5Mb/sec) to the Internet through a contract with Intermedia Digex using a Cisco
2524 combination CSU/DSU and router.

Other Equipment
In addition, there are approximately 10 dumb ASCII terminals connected principally to the Prioris

server and Microvax 3100/20 systems. We expect have phased out all of these terminals by next year.

The Library uses two OCLC (Online Computer Library Center) terminals connected through a dedicated
line to the OCLC system.

THE FIELD MUSEUM LIBRARY

The mission of Field Museum Library is to build, organize and maintain for use the research collections
essential to the Museum's scientific, educational and exhibition programs. Since its organization in
1894 at the Museum's founding, the Library's holdings have grown to include 255,000 volumes of books
and journals and significant special collections of archives, manuscripts and original natural history
illustrations. The strengths of the Library collections closely parallel the strengths of the Museum's
scientific collections in the fields of anthropology, botany, geology, paleontology and zoology, and
emphasize biological systematics, evolutionary biology, ethnology and material culture.

The continuous development of the Library collections requires the acquisition of research materials
from all parts of the world. Books are purchased through specialized suppliers on several continents or
acquired directly from publishers in scores of countries. Serial publications, the backbone of any
scientific library, account for two thirds of the Library's holdings in some subject areas. While the
Library now subscribes to just over 1000 domestic and foreign journals, the principal means of acquiring
foreign journals is the publications exchange program. Exchange agreements with over 1,000 museums,
societies, academies, and other organizations worldwide brings to the Library nearly 2,500 serials of
every description. Exchange partners receive in return one or more of the Museum's four Fieldiana
scientific series, covering the areas of anthropology, botany, geology and zoology.

The Library collections are available to a broad spectrum of users. Chief among these are the Museum's
staff and research associates, followed by the volunteers, interns, visiting researchers, specialists and
consultants in all areas of the Museum's activities. Through the long established channels of
Interlibrary Loan, now enhanced by cooperative online services, the national and international
scholarly community constantly use the Library's resources through loans of materials and provision of
photocopies. Interlibrary loan and photocopy reference services supplied requested materials to over
1,000 researchers at other institutions, producing sufficient revenue through service fees to support the
lease and operation of a photocopier for this purpose. The Interlibrary Loan operation also brought our
staff researchers nearly 300 items from other libraries, providing access to materials not held in our
collections. Through its Public Reading Room the Library's collections are also available on a non-
circulating basis to all members of the public who have need of its specialized materials.

The Library became a member of OCLC (Online Computer Library Center) in 1977, and has added its
cataloging and holdings symbol for all new acquisitions since 1977 to OCLC's Online Union Catalog,
making an ever larger portion of its collections available for interlibrary loan to OCLC's 25,000 member
libraries. By the end of 1998 over 34,000 of the Library's titles—including about 3,000 journal
titles—had been added to the OCLC bibliographic database.

The Library's continuous development of its research collections is supported each year by several
endowed funds specifically targeted for book purchases. In addition to acquisitions made through a
general Library Fund, several hundred titles are acquired through the Louis A. and Frances B. Wagner
Fund, the Cherry Fund in Memory of Samuel B. Cherry, the Chester A. Tripp Fund, and the Marie-
Louise Rosenthal Fund for Book Acquisition. These funds greatly strengthen the Library's pursuit of
excellence in building its research collections.

Numerous special collections held by the Library contain a wealth of rarely-held material. The core of
the book collections held in the Mary W. Runnells Rare Book Room consists of several specialized
subject collections formed by individuals. The Edward E. Ayer Ornithology Collection is among the
finest collections of ornithological literature in the country. The Ayer Collection is widely known
through John Todd Zimmer's Catalogue of the Edward E. Ayer Ornithological Library (Chicago, 1926).
The Berthold Laufer Asian Collections contain rich holdings of Chinese and Japanese books, as well as
numerous works in Tibetan, Manchu and Mongolian. The Laufer Collections cover a broad spectrum of
subjects relating to the anthropology and culture of China, Japan, India, and Southeast and Central
Asia, and include works printed from the fifteenth to the twentieth century. The George Frederick
Kunz Collection contains hundreds of obscure titles and rare imprints from the sixteenth to the

eighteenth centuries on the subjects of mining, mineralogy, gemology, alchemy, technology and general
natural history. The General Rare Book Collection represents a century of acquisitions from a wide
variety of sources, including a number of personal collections of past Museum researchers as well as
routine acquisitions by the Library. Ongoing development of the Rare Book Collections is supported by
funds provided by the Friends of Field Museum Library and the Runnells Rare Book Fund.

The Rare Book Room was the site of numerous tours during the year as well as many informal
gatherings. A number of Museum adult education courses held sessions in the Rare Book Room, and the
Librarian presented several class lectures, including presentations on natural history illustration for
instructors from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago, and sessions on the history of ethnographic
imagery for instructors from Columbia College.

The Friends of The Field Museum Library continued to expand their support of Library programs during
the year. The Friends spearheaded a strategic plan for the Library which resulted in the creation of a
Library General Endowment with an initial anonymous gift, and the commitment to create a gallery in
the public Museum for continuous exhibitions from the Library’s rare book and special collections. The
Friends also created new categories of membership that have brought an increase in donations to
support the Library and by year’s end had received their first Life Membership enrollment. With
their significant gift, Friends members Mr. and Mrs. Theodore W. Van Zelst established The Louann
Hurter Van Zelst Purchase Fund to support development of rare book and special collections.

The Friends-sponsored image licensing program brought two new projects to fruition. The Museum’s year
2000 calendar presents original ornithological illustrations and prints selected principally from the
Edward Ayer Ornithology Collection. The calendar includes an offer to Museum members for purchase
of reproductions of all the images included. November brought the debut of “Audubon’s Fifty Best: The
Oppenheimer Field Museum Edition,” a selection of fifty of Audubon’s finest bird prints from the
Library’s Mary W. Runnells copy of The Birds of America. The fifty digitally-produced images will be
issued over two years in five groups of ten prints each, and limited to 150 numbered and signed copies.
Available exclusively through Kenyon Oppenheimer gallery, the prints are offered as a complete set
by subscription or as individual prints. Since their appearance there is growing opinion that these
prints are the best full-size reproductions of Audubon’s work yet published.

In December the Library received a major gift from Charles W. Palmer and family: John James
Audubon’s original manuscript journal for the year 1826, documenting his pivotal journey to England to
seek publication of his bird paintings. The 1826 journal is the most important surviving manuscript from
Audubon’s hand and has been published only in an inadequate and incomplete edition. Planning began
immediately for publication of a new edition of the journal in the form of a facsimile with an
accompanying accurate transcription.

PHOTOGRAPHY

The Photography Department provides a wide range of photographic services for the Field Museum. It
serves the entire Museum staff, and makes its services available outside the Museum to a diverse group
of scholars, educational and research institutions, museums, scientific and commercial publishers. The
functions of the Department comprise two areas, services and collections. The service area creates new
photographs by assignment, and provides lab services. The collection area maintains the Museum’s
Photographic Collection, and negotiates rights and permissions for use of its images.

Photographs are used in a variety of publications including educational textbooks and material,
marketing, promotions, development, editorial, commercial, and various electronic media such as web
sites. Other uses include exhibition display, presentations, and reports. The Photographic services and
the Collection are also an important research resource for scientists and curators. Millions of people
who have not visited The Field Museum see our photographs. Photographs are requested and
republished, often with different uses for the same photograph. This cumulative effect increases the
value of the Photographic Department for many different disciplines.

Department photographers produce new photography of subjects including objects and specimens, shot in
the studio or on exhibit, portraits, events and activities, staff in their work environments, the building
and grounds, and exhibit documentation. Lab services provide film processing, printing, copying,
duplicating, and a range of digital imaging services. The Department photographers are continuing to
shoot film, and have not converted to digital capture of images. However, lab services provide scans to
digitally convert the film images. High-resolution scans are available through our outside custom lab,
and low-resolution scans can be done in the Department.

The Photography Collection currently holds over 750,000 images, and is growing annually by an
estimated 15,000 images. It is housed in a temperature and humidity controlled environment. The
Photographic Collection serves as an important supplement to The Field Museum's exhibits and
research, and increases the educational value of the artifacts and specimens. This Collection contains
the only comprehensive visual documentation of the collections, research, field work, exhibits,
building and history of the Museum. Photographs in the Collection range from the earliest field
expeditions to the most current images.

Photo Services

In 1999 photo service orders increased by 20%, building on the 100% increase experienced in 1998.
Requests from both inside and outside the Museum were serviced. Major traveling exhibits and related
activities and events were again high areas of interest. Requested images for scientific publications
from the curatorial staff were also high.

e “Sue.” Assignments included the exhibits Sue, The Inside Story, the upcoming Sue 2000, and
Traveling Sue. Ongoing documentation of preparation work on the fossils, and related publicity
and events were also covered, as was the continued scientific documentation requested by the
Geology Department, which included over 400 studio photos describing Sue’s bones.

e The Field Museum Logo and Corporate Identity Campaign. This campaign uses photographic
images from the Collection on all printed items. A 1999 Award of Excellence received from
Communication Arts magazine’s Design Annual cited work done by the Head Photographer

e Museum Campus. Many photographs were taken for press releases, the Campus web site, and
publications, including photos for the Chicago edition of the game Trivial Pursuit.

e In The Field. Produced bi-monthly by The Field Museum and distributed to more than 25,000
members, this publication uses the Photography Department’s services regularly.

e Connect. The regular newsletter published by the Museum Campaign Office. This and other
donor publications and visual presentations utilize our photography for illustration.

e The Field Museum Public Relations and Marketing Departments. Department photographers
regularly provide documentation of events, and photographs from the Collection.

-119-

e A Dinosaur Named Sue. Published by Scholastic Incorporated. This book, for grade school
children, contains many photographs from the Collection.

e Tiffany Jewels. Harry N. Abrams publishers. Photographs of items in the Museum’s Gem
collection were commissioned for this book.

e Way-finding Program at Field Museum. In the new signage and mapping program completed by
the Museum this year, many photographs from the Collection are published and displayed.

Electronic Imaging

During 1999 the Department continued work on its electronic imaging project, which was launched in
1997. At the close of 1999 the centralized database contained 122,000 searchable descriptions of
photographs, and 21,835 photographic images. In 1999 the image database increased by 100%. These
images can be called up on screen from any computer in the Museum using an intranet connection. In-
house scanning of film and prints, combined with scanning work done through our outside custom lab has
provided the images for the database. The goal of the project is to make the photo database the
primary location for staff to complete photo searches, with the advantage of being available to many
users at the same time. Eventually the database will be available to users outside the Museum as well.
This system protects the original photographs from frequent handling and provides a more efficient
means of access to the Collection.

Prior to 1999, the Department did not have an inventory or full catalogue of the Collection. As images
and data are being added to the database, the goal of having the full descriptive records located in one
place grows closer to being realized. Approximately 20% of the Collection has been entered onto the
database. Growth of the digital inventory with information and scanned images, and enhancing the
search engine, were high priorities in 1999.

Improvements and modifications made to the methods of producing scanned images resulted in faster
and more accurate entries. The error rate in naming scans, producing labels for prints, slides,
transparencies and invoices was reduced from 10% to less than one percent in 1999. The time to fully
process a typical scan was also reduced from 10 minutes to less than 5 minutes. Custom written scripts
helped to automate data entry in several fields. Data was added from several of the Geology
Department's collections, including those from paleobotany, fossil reptiles, mammals, and birds, and
invertebrate and fish specimens. Photographers are now using a File Maker Pro customized program to
describe and catalogue the collection of "General" images (events, people, exhibits, activities or non-
artifact or specimen photos). Drop down menus were added that list frequently requested data, such as
those for film size and type, and photographer’s name (from 1891 to the present). A 25-page manual
that describes and standardizes these fields and their contents is in its final stages of revision.

Bibliographic data was collected from past invoices and departmental correspondence from 1980-1999
and then added to the "Requester" field. This is significant because that field, following the
“Caption” field, is the second place that a user will choose for searching. The results produced by the
"Requester" field help the user know where and if a photo has been published previously and how
many times it has been published. Over 23% of the records on the database contain usage data. We
have also begun to include in-house publications such as brochures, In The Field, Annual Reports and
Bulletins. Where publication information is available in database form, such as in the Geology
Department's "Remarks" field, it is pasted into our “Requester” field.

User interface
Steven Senderak, an FMP programmer who successfully completed the database inventory and on-line
catalogue of the Geology Department's Paleobotany Collection, was contracted in August to assist Nina
Cummings in re-writing the entire user interface and search engine. The MS-Access interface proved to
be too programmer dependent and inefficient. The revamped search engine, still in beta testing,
provides users with an easier interface that contains more current data. Modifications and corrections
are now made within hours versus once a month when the MS Access database was updated. The
database display provides the user with a full description of not-yet-scanned images, which helps to
determine the priority of what images should be scanned. When a new scan is made and added to the
database, the message "Photo Not Scanned" is overwritten by the scan. The FMP database was moved
-120-

from the Museum's server to a temporary location on one of the Photography Department's computers to
make maintenance easier.

Although the Photo Search Database is available exclusively to users within the Museum, several
libraries, museums and individuals have made on-site visits and have used the search engine to locate
images from our Collection. Visitors in 1999 included staff from the Univ. of Illinois at Chicago Special
Collections, The Chicago Botanic Garden, the Oriental Institute, the Smithsonian, and the Chicago
Maritime Society. Additionally, over 100 members of the Pacific Arts Association were given a
demonstration of the search engine at their annual meeting in September. Because the images and data
are now available to the entire staff via the Intranet, anyone with an in-house computer can search and
send digital images outside the Museum. We have found the reaction to this improved service to be
overwhelmingly positive. The majority of e-mail requests received from outside the Museum
(approximately 250) are handled by e-mailing low resolution scans from the database for the client to
select. Of the staff that use the services of the Department, over 60% are now using the search engine to
locate and select images.

Collection Activity and additions to the Collection of scanned images

We received over 800 internal inquiries regarding the Photo Collection, and in 1999 numerous external
requests for copies of prints, slides and permission to publish photos in commercial and scholarly books
and magazines, and for use in electronic media such as CD-ROM and Web pages. Invoices were sent out
for billing totaling $23,000.00.

Laura Gates, Peter Crane and Judy Block memory photo albums.

80 photographs from the 1922-1923, J. Alden Mason, Columbia expedition were made
into a specially prepared album and presented to Parker/Gentry Award Recipient Juan
Mayr.

e Staff from Institutional Advancement presented a PowerPoint presentation at a
luncheon honoring departing Vice President Willard White. The project contained
photos of White's tenure at the Museum, from 1988-1999.

Due to the substantial amount of scans and data that have been added to the search engine, a balance
has been struck between preservation and overall maintenance and access. The images are now
accessible to hundreds of users at the same time, and more importantly, the physical handling of the
originals is greatly reduced. We plan to make the data entry more interactive, which will help in the
identification of people and artifacts when no such data is available. The goal for the next few years is
to complete the database and to make the entire Collection accessible to the public.

PRITZKER LABORATORY FOR MOLECULAR SYSTEMATICS AND EVOLUTION

The Pritzker Laboratory for Molecular Systematics and Evolution was named in 1998 in recognition of
generous support from The Pritzker Foundation. The Pritzker Laboratory is a Field Museum multi-user
core facility whose mission is the collection and analysis of genetic data. The vast majority of the data
collected are DNA sequences and the main sources of specimens used in the laboratory are the frozen
tissue collections of The Field Museum’s Zoology and Botany Departments. DNA sequence data are
desirable for many reasons in evolutionary studies. Chief among these is the fact that DNA sequences
are composed of only four nucleotide bases, resulting in data that are, in some analytical respects, very
simple. Another extremely useful property of DNA sequence data is their high level of comparability
across taxa and across studies. Together, these properties mean that DNA sequence data can be applied
to investigate diverse questions at all levels in the biological hierarchy, i.e. questions about
individuals, populations, species, and even phyla and kingdoms.

The primary activity of lab users is the collection and analysis of genetic data for inferring the
genealogical, or phylogenetic, relationships among species. This knowledge of phylogenetic
relationships is fundamental to understanding organismal evolution and the origins of biological
diversity. Patterns of phylogenetic relationships among species can be used to trace character change
throughout the course of evolution and provide insights to the biological histories of geographic
regions. Another focus of lab research involves characterizing the amount of genetic variation within
and among populations. Data at this level are used to determine taxonomic limits to help guide
conservation efforts, and to study the very processes driving evolution (e.g., natural selection).

The majority of lab users are Field Museum curators and their graduate students from the Univ. of
Chicago and the Univ. of Illinois at Chicago, who share a common interest in evolution and
systematics. However, the diversity of the Pritzker Lab’s researchers and their studies is truly
astounding. In 1999, DNA sequence data were obtained and/or analyzed from hundreds of taxa from
almost every imaginable habitat-temperate and tropical rainforests and dry forests, grasslands,
streams, ponds, estuaries, and coral reefs - and from every continent except Antarctica, as well as
numerous islands. The many areas of inquiry pursued by these researchers include the origins of
symbiosis, the evolution of life history traits, rates of evolutionary change, biogeography,
conservation, sexual selection, speciation, and natural selection at the molecular level. More than 35
new and continuing projects used the DNA sequencing facilities in 1999. The arrival of Lutz Bachmann
(Lab Manager) and Assistant Curator Paul Goldstein (Zoology /Insects) at the Field Museum will bring
additional fields of research to the Pritzker Lab. Lutz Bachmann is working on the mode of evolution of
non-coding DNA in Drosophila, cave crickets and millipedes as well as in ancient DNA analyses. Paul
Goldstein’s research focuses on the phylogenetic systematics of butterflies and moths, the evolution of
host-plant use and specialization in butterflies and moths, and in conservation genetics and
invertebrate conservation in prairies and prairie-like habitats.

As it has in the past, during 1999 the lab continued to place an emphasis on education, training
researchers from other countries, including Brazil, Germany, South Africa, as well as the American
researchers and Chicago-area undergraduates. The lab provided training and research facilities for
scientists and graduate students who are advised in their thesis research by Field Museum scientists.
New projects already scheduled to start in 2000 will continue this emphasis on training and
collaboration.

The biotechnology facilities are a non-departmental unit of Academic Affairs supervised by a
Management Committee, available for use by curators and staff members of the Museum. All users of
the lab are responsible for designing, performing and financing their lab work. For more information on
specific research projects, please see the newly established web pages of the Pritzker Lab (<http://
and of the committee that manages the facility: Bill Ballard (Zoology); John Bates (Zoology); Paul
Goldstein (Zoology); Shannon Hackett (Zoology); Francois Lutzoni (Botany); Kathleen Pryer (Botany);
and Lutz Bachmann (Pritzker Lab).

SCANNING ELECTRON MICROSCOPE

The Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM) is an invaluable resource for both original research
observations and documentation of results. It allows researchers to examine fine surface details of
three-dimensional objects and specimens at magnifications ranging from very low magnifications (10
times life-size) to high magnifications (above 20,000 times life-size). The images of specimens
obtained with the scanning electron microscope provide 300 times more depth-of-field than those
observed through light microscopy. Thus, images with higher resolution and higher magnifications
are achieved from scanning electron microscopy than with light microscopy. The laboratory is managed
by Betty Strack. Her duties include training staff and students to operate the SEM and the other
equipment and keeping the instruments in good operating condition.

Investigators from the Departments of Botany, Geology, and Zoology obtained over 1300 publishable
SEM photographs in 1999. The SEM laboratory is a multi-user research area where nineteen curators,
professional staff, students, research associates, and visiting scientists from Academic Affairs operated
the SEM during the year. The staff and students that worked on the SEM include: Harald Schneider
(Botany), Jolanta Miadlikowska (Botany), Blanca Leon (Botany), Jolanta Kobylinska (Geology), Rick
Lupia (Geology), Susana Magallén (Geology), Pat Herendeen (Geology), Gretchen Moeser (Geology),
Hallie Sims (Geology), Darin Croft (Geology), Jason Bond (Zoology), Rachel Collin (Zoology), Matt
Dean (Zoology), Bruce Patterson (Zoology), Petra Sierwald (Zoology), Bill Stanley (Zoology), and
Perry Lai (visiting scientist in Zoology).

Major research projects utilizing the SEM have included the following:

¢ Phylogeny and floral evolution in flowering plants: fossil and living flower structures

¢ Phylogeny of Marsileaceae (water ferns): spores and sporocarp (reproductive structures)
Phylogeny and taxonomy of the genus Peltigera (lichens): veins of thalli (vegetative structures)
Wood morphology of legumes

Systematics of millipedes: examinations of mouth, head, and body structures

Morphological analysis and ontogeny of spider sexual organs and other structures

Snail systematics: protoconchs (larval shells) and radulae (snail teeth) of Crepidula gastropods
Shrews of Tanzania including some new species: teeth and jaws comparisons

New species of a rodent from Uruguay: teeth morphology

A good example of ongoing SEM projects is the work of Petra Sierwald (Assistant Curator, Zoology) and
her research team, concerning the systematics of millipedes. The team is studying perhaps the least
known order in the animal kingdom, the millipede order Siphoniulida (small, worm-like millipedes
that inhabit tropical soils). The use of the SEM proved extremely important for this study due to the
small size of the animals; the tiny mouthparts and the sexual organs of the males can only be studied
fully with the use of electron microscopy. Studying these characters is very important to learn more
about these elusive creatures: what they eat, what their closest relatives among the millipedes are,
etc. Marius van der Merwe and Jason Bond, graduate student and postdoctoral fellow, respectively, in
Sierwald’s NSF-funded millipede program also used the SEM for their studies on a different order of
millipedes. Other groups (families) of millipedes will be added to their SEM studies during the year
2000.

The multi-user equipment consist of an Amray 1810 Scanning Electron Microscope and specimen
preparation instruments, a Balzers 030 Critical Point Dryer for drying soft tissue and a Denton Vacuum
Desk II Sputter Coater for coating non-conductive specimens with a thin layer of gold. Plans include
adding a digital imaging system to the SEM for expanding its usefulness. Users will be able to
electronically capture their images in addition to, or instead of, taking photographs.

SCHOLARSHIP COMMITTEE

The Field Museum encourages and supports the use of its collections and facilities by outside scholars
and students. The Scholarship Committee is responsible for the review of applications and the
disbursement of funds for visiting scientists, graduate fellows and undergraduate interns who wish to
work with the Museum’s collections or collaborate with its scientists. The Scholarship Committee
administers six separate funds. These include the Borg-Warner Robert O. Bass Visiting Scientist Fund,
the William A. and Stella Rowley Graduate Fellowship Fund, the Karl P. Schmidt Fund, the Thomas
J. Dee Fellowship Fund, the Lester Armour Graduate Fellowship Fund, and the Undergraduate
Internship Fund.

During 1999, the Scholarship Committee, chaired by Lance Grande, awarded 25 scholarships, one
fellowship, and six internships, in the four scientific departments. Ten scholarships were given to
exceptional graduate or undergraduate students who have demonstrated a strong commitment to the
study of natural history. Scientists came not only from the United States and Canada, but also from
around the world: Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Cuba, France, New Zealand, Peru, Russia,
Thailand, and Venezuela.
