[Nhcoll-l] Natural History Museum Interior Arthropod Biodiversity

[Derek Sikes]

All,

Earlier this year I solicited input from these lists regarding publications
on species collected alive inside Natural History Museums.

Thanks again to all those who replied with information!

The study I was working on with a Univ. Alaska Fairbanks undergraduate
student is now published and might be of interest

Sikes, D. S., Callegari, K. 2020. Interior ecosystem in the subarctic:
wild, living, arthropod biodiversity in the University of Alaska Museum,
Fairbanks, Alaska, United States of America. The Canadian Entomologist.
https://doi.org/10.4039/tce.2020.56

This project started as my student Kyle's class project in entomology and
developed nicely into this final product. If you have similar data for your
museum, and a student looking for a project, consider adding to this
nascent literature on interior ecosystems.
