Location: Emerging Pests and Pathogens Research

Project Number: 8062-22410-007-039-S
Project Type: Non-Assistance Cooperative Agreement

Start Date: Sep 1, 2023
End Date: Aug 31, 2024

Objective:
The objectives of this project are to develop a portal and tools for querying the entomopathogenic fungi biodiversity date.

Approach:
The project will focus on developing new capabilities within the Symbiota portal to: 1) Develop full fungal and insect taxonomic hierarchies for specimens. 2) Develop new tools for host-association and one to many relationships.
