Museum of Southwestern Biology
The Museum of Southwestern Biology's Division of Mammals at the University of New Mexico is a premier research collection, housing the second largest mammal collection in the world with 345,000 cataloged specimens representing 1,600 species. This extensive collection, which has been developed through federal grants, engages critical societal issues such as climate change, habitat loss, and biological conservation.
With strong partnerships with institutions like the New Mexico Museum of Natural History and Science, the division actively promotes research and public engagement. Its online database, Arctos, enhances accessibility to specimens, supporting collaborative research initiatives at local, state, national, and international levels.
