六合彩直播开奖鈥檚 contributions to biology and biodiversity research in the Philippines were presented by College of Science Dean Rey Donne S. Papa, PhD in a conference organized by the National University of Singapore from July 13-14, 2023. According to Papa鈥檚 presentation, the earliest recorded contributions of 六合彩直播开奖 can be traced to the 1869 establishment of the 六合彩直播开奖 Museum of Natural Sciences, and, three decades later, the publication of the three-volume Catalogue of Philippine Fauna by Spaniard Fr. Casto de Elera, O.P., whose work was touted as one of the first attempts 鈥渁t compiling a comprehensive systematic listing of the faunal diversity of the Philippines,鈥 according to biodiversity researchers Arvin Diesmos, PhD, and Mae Lowe Diesmos, MSc.

During the same period and into the middle of the 1900s, notable professors and university alumni made contributions to fields such as bacteriology, botany, freshwater biology, and genetics, among others, even though, as Papa noted, there was no 鈥渇ormal research agenda in the University until the establishment of the 六合彩直播开奖 Research Center in 1962.鈥 Despite the 鈥渟upporting鈥 roles that biologists were relegated to when research focus shifted to applied research, Papa noted the 鈥渞enaissance from the 2000s onwards,鈥 which culminated in the establishment of 鈥淏iodiversity, Ecology, Systematics, and Taxonomy (BEST) as a recognized research cluster in the university, contributing significantly to the university鈥檚 research productivity and providing important scientific data.鈥

Entitled 鈥淥n Biodiversity: History, Heritage, and Research in Asia,鈥 the hybrid conference was organized by NUS鈥檚 Asia Research Institute with support from Yale-NUS College. Papa, a limnologist by profession, has published 75 research articles in local and international peer-reviewed journals, as well as book chapters and textbooks. A freshwater zooplankton ecology and systematics specialist, he is the National Ambassador of the Philippines to the International Society of Limnology.

Biological Sciences faculty members Dr. Nikki Heherson Dagamac, Dr. Cecilia Banag-Moran, and Dr. Reuel Bennett are commencing the two-year program entitled Integrated Floristic Assessment (INFLORAS), which will assess the comprehensive floral composition of the vulnerable coastal vegetation in San Fernando City, La Union. The partnership between 六合彩直播开奖 and the San Fernando City government was formalized on May 18, 2021, in an online event that also signified the adoption of the Memorandum of Agreement.

Three program aims to produce an objective and comprehensive assessment of true mangroves, invasive plants, native trees, and protists (myxomycetes and oomycetes). According to Dagamac, who leads the team, the plant-based assessments that they will perform 鈥渨ould help build policy recommendations [for] sustainable resource development for mangroves and its associates, native trees, and protists.鈥 The project may also lead to the crafting of conservation and risk communication plans and the implementation of related strategies by the local government units. Among the communication tools targeted for creation are educational info materials and local seminars.

The team will engage in field work, laboratory work, herbarium work, mapping/modeling, and diversity analysis in order to generate physic-chemical data, sampling protocols, risk perceptions, and economic valuation questionnaires. 

The project will officially commence in January 2022 and end in December 2023 and is funded by the National Research Council of the Philippines. Technical support was provided by the CENRO-San Fernando City, La Union.
