Richard Archbold and the Archbold Biological Station

"Archbold founded in 1941 what has become one of the premier centers in the world for biological research. The 5,000-acre estate, Archbold Biological Station near Lake Placid, Florida, covers one of the most scientifically unique and threatened eco-systems in the world, the Florida Scrub. Archbold's initial enthusiasm for the scrub and his dedication to research there has been fully vindicated: the station now supports nineteen federally listed threatened and endangered species, including thirteen endemic plants. Recognized as one of the most superbly appointed field sites in North America, it houses impressive bird, insect, plant, and vertebrate collections."--BOOK JACKET.
