Dr. Lacalli's research involves the embryology and larval forms of marine invertebrates: principally, the development of the nervous system and the formation pattern in these organisms. His work has included theoretical, computer-based studies of how pattern and formation appear de novo in embryos as they develop, and microanatomical studies (primarily, via serial electron microscopy) of the developing nervous system in simple invertebrates near the evolutionary stem from which vertebrates, with their advanced nervous system, evolved. The process developed by Lacalli enabled an image of the whole body of their specimens in one micrograph, a relatively rare achievement and one which enabled him to analyse the nervous system in far more detail than was previously possible. This fonds contains an extensive collection of the electron micrographs taken by Lacalli, together with research notes, offprints, and other documentation relating to his research activities

This fonds documents the academic career of William Maher, including correspondence with colleagues; research notes and logs, drafts, and articles; together with numerous film images of wildlife.

This fonds consists of records relating to John King's career as a plant physiologist. The materials include research that he conducted and directed, supervised work of MSc students and Post-Doctoral Fellows, biology lectures, notes, drafts and correspondence relating to his two books The Genetic Basis of Plant Physiological Processes and Reaching for the Sun. There are also copies of articles he authored and a reference collection of articles and indices to articles for research purposes.

Fonds primarily includes administrative and research files relating to the Matador Project and the International Biological Programme at the Canadian and international levels.

This fonds reflects Dr. Fowke's career as a researcher and professor at the University of Saskatchewan.

This fonds consists of notes, record books, and reports concerning Rawson's limnological research: particularly his studies done in Prince Albert National Park (1928-1934); the national parks areas of the Rocky Mountains (1935-1941); Riding Mountain National Park; Reindeer, Athabasca, and Great Slave Lake; and Lac La Ronge, Amisk Lake, and the Churchill drainage system (1942 onward).
