National Invertebrate Genetic Resources

Insects impact American agriculture both as destructive and beneficial organisms. Insect pests, parasites, predators, products, and pollinators are all economically important. It is critically important to distinguish between different species, races, stocks, strains, biotypes, and other genetic entities and to document their different interactions with agriculture and the environment.The goals of the National Invertebrate Genetic Resources Program include:Preservation of reference specimensMaintenance of genetically important germplasmDocumentation of specific insect stocksManagement of databasesDistribution of material to researchers and breedersResources in this dataset:Resource Title: National Invertebrate Genetic Resources.File Name: Web Page, url: https://www.ars-grin.gov/Collections#animal-germplasm
