Throughout its history, the Archbold Biological Station has always attracted visiting scientists. Archbold’s central location in Florida and diversity of regional habitats make it the ideal headquarters for biodiversity surveys. The Station’s 8,841-acre property, including 5,193 acres of pristine habitat, 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.

A searchable database of visiting scientists, which includes their research project and home institution, is available. Also, the Station bibliography, STABIB can be searched by author or by a selected list of keywords. Both the visiting scientists database and STABIB include Research Associates and Research Affiliates. Research Associates are scientists who conduct log-term studies at Archbold and receive many of the privileges of Archbold Staff, but no salary. Research Affiliates are scientists who are actively engaged in research, at or near the Station, that contributes significantly to the scientific mission of the Station. Research Affiliates may establish grant accounts at the Station for funded research. Research Affiliate appointments are made for two-year periods, and must be renewed.
