Employer: The Field Museum
Expires: 04/26/2025
Field Museum Women In Science Undergraduate Internship- Exploring Beetle Diversity. In this project, we will study the evolutionary history of one of the most diverse kinds of animals on Earth. Snout beetles, also known as weevils, comprise more species than all vertebrates combined and interact with plants in a variety of ways, including pollinators and pests. Here, we will focus on a subgroup of these beetles known as Cossoninae, which live on wood and include species with unique behaviors, such as caring for their larvae. Unfortunately, no one has ever studied the evolutionary tree of these beetles, which is the first step to understanding where their diversity came from and how the unique behaviors originated. The interns under this project will help address this knowledge gap by preparing specimens for DNA sequencing using advanced genomic methods. They will learn to identify, organize, and database beetle specimens, extract DNA, prepare samples for sequencing, and assist in analyzing genomic data. Participants will explore key evolutionary questions: How do host plant choices influence beetle diversity? What are the origins of unique behaviors like parental care and complex mating systems?The project will provide a dynamic and enriching experience, introducing interns to modern genomic techniques, collections-based research, and evolutionary biology. The data generated will be integrated with ongoing research in the Field Museum’s insect collection, contributing to our understanding of biodiversity. Interns will receive:· Hands-on training in specimen preparation, DNA extraction and sequencing, and data analysis.· Mentorship in collections-based research, with exposure to museum operations and biodiversity science.This internship position is endowed in honor of Lynika Strozier. Lynika was a Field Museum scientist and former Women in Science intern supervisor who passed away due to complications from COVID-19.
