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.
