Showcasing the lush geography of South East Asia, Museum Diaries follows a team of curators and technicians as they plan, prep and embark on a six-week massive research expedition to the rain forests of the Gunung Mulu Mountains in Borneo. ROM Curator of Entomology, Chris Darling, leads the team. Along for the ride are Curators of Mycology, Jean-Marc Moncalvo, and Mammalogy Assistant Curator, Burton Lim. The Entomology team is conducting follow-up research to a large-scale survey conducted over 35 years ago. The Mycology team will be collecting over 400 mushroom specimens anticipating that 20% will be new to Science. The Mammalogy team is to be the first scientific team to collect bat and rat specimens from the top of the Mountain. The ROM team will be collecting specimens from cicadas to bats, rats to funghi. They will explore the evolution of indigenous species, which can lead to conclusions about the impact of climate change. All of which will be used in research projects at the Royal Ontario Museum as well as for future studies worldwide.
