The first curator of this Division was Fritz Haas, formerly of the Senckenberg Museum in Frankfurt, Germany. Haas (1938 - 1969) and his successor Alan Solem (1957 - 1990) built massive mollusk collections, particularly strong in unionid bivalves and terrestrial snails, reflecting their respective research interests. Current curators Rüdiger Bieler (1990 -) and Janet Voight (1990 -) focus their research and collection-building on marine molluscan groups. The varied curatorial research interests, the collecting efforts of past and present collections managers (e.g., John Slapcinsky and Jochen Gerber), and acquisitions of private collections and "orphan collections" have contributed to this large collection.Field Museum of Natural History Invertebratesrbieler@fieldmuseum.orghttp://www.fieldmuseum.org/science/research/area/focus-invertebratesBielerRüdigerrbieler@fieldmuseum.orgCuratorcontentProviderTo the extent possible under law, the publisher has waived all rights to these data and has dedicated them to the 2024-03-29T06:59:57-07:00Invert-E-Base Portal - d17c17a6-1a67-4c1a-acc4-d6dcfba5b03aUTF-8Darwin Core Archivehttps://invertebase.org/portal/collections/misc/collprofiles.php?collid=1FMNHInvertebrate ZoologyField Museum of Natural History Invertebrateshttps://invertebase.org/portal/content/collicon/fmnh.jpghttp://www.fieldmuseum.org/science/research/area/focus-invertebrateshttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/3.0/Copyright © 2012 The Field Museum of Natural HistoryBielerRüdigerrbieler@fieldmuseum.orgCurator<p>Established in 1938, the Division of Invertebrates is in charge of all invertebrate groups except insects and other non-marine arthropods.
