The Field Museum closes the gap between molecular and organismal biology, between systematics and ecology, and between biology and anthropology. It is a leader in evolutionary theory and cultural studies, as well as in the diversity and evolution of many specific groups of African plants and animals. Among the trademarks of its research is a commitment to collaboration: between the Museum and African research centers, between Africanists and Asianists, and among international institutions.
Field Biologist Steve Goodman spends several months each year conducting surveys to document the animals and plants in various sites in Madagascar where species are threatened with extinction.
