FACILITIES

The department has the following laboratories and equipment available for teaching and research:

  • The Louis O. and Terua P. Williams Conservatory with controlled environment greenhouses and growth chambers
  • The Rocky Mountain Herbarium, with laboratories equipped for anatomical, chromosomal, and molecular studies, and a workstation-based GIS system for analyses of species distribution
  • The Nucleic Acid Exploration Facility (NAEF) is a core research lab at the University of Wyoming. The mission of the NAEF is twofold:

    1)  provide a high through-put low cost sequencing and genotyping service, and 2)  provide a centralized training/preparation facility where anyone interested in using nucleic acid technology for research can prepare samples and receive training in relevant techniques.

  • A Soil Microfungal Collection. For an updated data base visit www.moldsforyou.org
  • The Wyoming Natural Diversity Database (WYNDD)
  • Cell biology/physiology laboratories equipped for cell fractionation, biochemistry, metabolism, optical and confocal microscopy, radiotracer analyses, and studies of plant optics
  • A new confocal scanning microscope system, as well as scanning and transmissions electron microscopes that are shared with the Zoology and Physiology Department
  • Laboratories for ecosystem and vegetation studies
  • The Quaternary Plant Ecology Laboratory
  • Mycology laboratories equipped for research on the genetics, physiology, taxonomy and ecology of fungi
  • The Spatial Ecology and Remote Sensing Laboratory with UNIX workstations and software for Geographic Information Systems and Remote Sensing/Image Processing for analyses of regional and global ecosystem processes
