MISSION AND VISION The vision to develop and maintain a centre of excellence in research, teaching and service delivery which provides the stimulus for greater understanding of the rich tapestry of insect and other invertebrate life, with particular reference to the greater agricultural landscape. This includes managing economically important insects, while at the same time, conserving all aspects of indigenous biodiversity. The mission to develop a teaching and research thrust in three main areas: 1) basic and applied entomology and nematology, 2) landscape ecology and biodiversity conservation, 3) special topics that explore new ideas; to maintain strong entomological and nematological ties with the agricultural crop production sector, especially tree crops, as our knowledge partners; to develop methods of environmentally-sound, integrated pest management that take cognisance of the whole landscape; to develop novel approaches for biodiversity conservation, with special reference to agricultural biodiversity;

93. We Welcome Visits To The Museum The division of entomology museum was formalized by EI Schlinger in 1962. This collection is an extremely important research and teaching collection. http://entmuseum.ucr.edu/about_the_museum_erm.htm

p About the Museum The Riverside campus houses the second oldest of the UC collections. The first specimens were transferred from the California State Insectary at Sacramento when Harry Smith joined the Faculty in 1923. Other sizable personal collections were added by P.H. Timberlake in 1924 and L.D. Anderson in 1948, and the G.P. McKenzie collection of North American Coleoptera was purchased in 1965. The division of entomology museum was formalized by E.I. Schlinger in 1962. S.I. Frommer and J.C. Hall joined the effort in 1964. Frommer developed the collection in what was then the Division of Economic Entomology while Hall curated the collections in what was then the Division of Biological Control. For many years the UCR Entomological Museum went under the descriptive yet unofficial name that Frommer had coined for it The UCR Entomological Teaching and Research Collection. On March 30, 1994 a new building for UCR's large collection of insects and related arthropods was dedicated and given an official name the Entomology Research Museum. The lower of two floors in the building houses the collection and provides offices, space for curating and research for its Director, Dr. Serguei V. Triapitsyn, its senior museum scientist, Dr. Doug Yanega, and visiting scientists as well as students. There is a preparations room, a small library/lab room, and a large room for teaching, special seminars, and other events sponsored by the Department of Entomology.

The greenhouse/nursery area is a 2-acre site with 45,000 square feet in greenhouse space and an outdoor nursery area. Plants that are grown in the greenhouse are used for research by faculty and students. Research projects are either conducted on-site, or plants are raised for studies in laboratories in the Department of Entomology. Many courses in the Department have laboratory sections taught by faculty and graduate student teaching assistants in their field of expertise. Facilities include modems, microscopes, wireless laptop computers, and a teaching insect collection of more than 5,000 specimens.
