VISITING SCIENTISTS:
A long tradition of productive research
Throughout its history, the Archbold Biological Station has
always attracted visiting scientists. Archbolds central location in Florida and
diversity of regional habitats make it the ideal headquarters for biodiversity surveys.
The Stations 5000-acre property and excellent facilities foster long-term research
programs. Also, professors spend their sabbaticals, and retired scientists continue their
productivity, at Archbold.
Most visiting scientists come from colleges and universities (including about 10% from
Florida) and from major museums in eastern United States, and occasionally from Europe,
Canada, and Australia. A pattern typical of the academic visiting scientist is one of
repeated annual visits with a succession of graduate or undergraduate students who
eventually go on to initiate their own pattern of repeat visits with their students. The
major schools in these cycles are Cornell University, University of South Florida,
University of Connecticut, and University of Wisconsin.
