Collections scope Expertise Sampling Documentation ... Zoology SYS-RESOURCE: Botany The collections Geographical range Worldwide coverage is one of the major strengths of the collections. Inevitably some areas, such as the British Isles and the former British Empire, are better represented than others, such as the eastern Palaearctic. Other areas that are well represented include for flowering plants the Himalayas, north Africa and Mesoamerica, and for bryophytes and lichens Antarctica, the Mascarenes, Malesia and temperate parts of the Southern Hemisphere. Historical range The earliest specimens in the collection date from the last decade of the 16th century. New material continues to be added to the collections, so that they span 400 years. The collections provide information on what was growing where throughout this time, and also provide an insight into the progress in plant taxonomy throughout the last 500 years. Current priority areas for collecting The 1961 Morton Agreement with the Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew gave the Museum special responsibility for the vascular plant floras of the British Isles, Europe, and North and Central America. Consequently, comparatively little vascular plant material from other areas has been added to the Museumís collections since then.

MAJOR GATEWAYS
As botany is a broad topic and of interest to many persons for many purposes, several compilations of relevant information have already appeared from academic institutions. Some of these are under the subject heading of botany, while other valuable resources are grouped into the general subject heading of biology. Some are quite general, but very comprehensive in approach, while others reflect more specific research interests. There are many avenues to pursue in the following sources: some will lead you to botanical information, but others are useful for an interdisciplinary view of your topic. Another flexible approach is to begin with top level indexes and search for keywords.

Professional Ethics in Economic Botany: A Preliminary Draft of Guidelines
PREAMBLE
In conducting their research, economic botanists often must confront difficult ethical issues related both to their data collection needs and methods, and to the dissemination and use of their findings. Since economic botanists are a diverse group with greatly varying scientific backgrounds and professional affiliations, their ethical problems are both diverse and complex. This document presents guidelines for professional behavior for members of the SOCIETY FOR ECONOMIC BOTANY
  • MEMBERS OF THE SOCIETY FOR ECONOMIC BOTANY HAVE RESPONSIBILITIES TO THE PUBLIC. They will strive to use their knowledge, skills, and training to enhance the well-being of humankind. They will specifically refuse to work professionally on any research that will result in harm being done to anyone.
    They will strive to maintain professional competence and will not offer advice on subjects on which they are uninformed.
    They will not engage in nor allow the dissemination of information about economic botany that is false, misleading, or exaggerated.

    The Institute of Botany at the Jagiellonian University is one of the largest and most significant centres of botanical studies in Poland and Central Europe. The scope of studies covers a wide range of disciplines, many of which represent world class research. The co-operation of specialists of various branches of botany under one roof results in many multi-disciplinary research projects. The scope of the cooperation with other research centres in both Poland and abroad, is also extensive. The research in our Institute concentrates on plant material in the Aristotelian sense, i.e. on assimilating plants (from various systematic groups), the domain of fungi and symbiotic organism jointly classified with them, such as lichens, and on the domain of exposed cytoplasm, i.e. slime moulds. These research topics are studied by using the methods of various branches of modern biology represented in the Institute, such as: ecology, plant geography, taxonomy, embryology, cytology, palaeobotany, and others.

The division of Natural Sciences is composed of the research groups and the Natural History Museum "Tomas Romay." The research groups are formed by 70 specialists that dedicate themselves to the study of taxonomy, systematics, ecology, biogeography and ethnobotany. The taxonomic and systematic studies are centered mainly on inferior plants (briophytae and Pteriodophytas) and in the invertebrate (Diptera, Humenoptera, Arachnida and Crustacea). In these groups and the others (Freshwater fishes, reptiles and birds), ecological and biogeographical studies are also done, including the application of GIS. The Center has three herbariums with more than 8600 specimens and a zoological collection of invertebrates and vertebrates.

Job opportunities usually depend upon educational training and Leading students to discover more about plants and the botanical sciences can be a rewarding and fulfilling experience. Photo courtesy of Marsh Sundberg. experience. New positions in botany are expected to increase at an above-average rate through the turn of the century. Growing world population continues to increase the need for better food supplies. Environmental concerns, such as air, water and soil pollution, will create openings for ecologists in government and industry. The search for new drugs and medicines and useful genes for improving crop plants will continue to create a need for botanical explorers. Educational institutions , which employ most plant biologists, range from high schools and community colleges to universities. High schools and community colleges have few openings for those who wish to teach specialized courses and there is little time or equipment for research activity. Nevertheless, for botanists who primarily enjoy teaching, such positions are very satisfying. Most positions for professional plant scientists are in colleges and universities. Almost all colleges and universities offer courses in plant science and there are faculty positions for botanists who have different specialties. In addition, educational institutions employ botanists as researchers and as administrators.

    Botany for the Next Millennium:
    FOREWORD
    In February 1992, William Louis Culberson, then president of the Botanical Society of America (BSA), appointed a steering committee charged with providing a framework for identifying research and educational goals, priorities, and opportunities in the botanical sciences as we approach the 21st century. In order to facilitate the widest possible input from the botanical community, a questionnaire was prepared to solicit information from members of the Society. The questionnaire consisted of two parts, one of which solicited numerical data and the other opinion. Questionnaires were also sent to selected members of five related societies, in order to broaden the survey further, In December 1992, the Wisconsin Survey Research Laboratory mailed questionnaires to 2,602 individuals, 2,225 of whom were members of the BSA. The response to the questionnaire was most gratifying; a total of 1,269 questionnaires were returned, or 48.8 percent. Fourteen committees were established , representing all except the historical and regional sections of the Society, and charged with drafting a report on the current priorities and concerns for its area or discipline. Ten societies participated with the Botanical Society in drafting the reports: American Bryological and Lichenological Society with the Bryological and Lichenological Section; Society for Economic Botany with the Economic Botany Section; Mycological Society of America with the Microbiological Section; Phycological Society of America with the Phycological Section; American Society of Plant Physiologists with the Physiological Section; International Society of Chemical Ecology and Phytochemical Society of North America with the Phytochemical Section; American Fern Society with the Pteridological Section; American Society of Plant Taxonomists with the Systematics Section; and Association for Tropical Biology with the Tropical Biology Section.
