Hi all,

I would use the opportunity, now that this discussion is running, to warn against the (perhaps tempting) practice of using geolocation tools on old collections that have not previously been registered digitally. Often the actual uncertainty radius of the recorded localities will be much larger than we are used to nowadays, and will make the value of applying coordinates very questionable.  The same goes to an even higher degree for cases where the ?locality? given is just a geographical area. It can require quite some study to find out if the name of the area was understood in the same way then as it is now. I have seen a few cases where vague type localities of species described 100-200 years ago have unjustifiably been pinpointed down to degrees and minutes.

Cheers

You don't often get email from dyanega at gmail.com<mailto:dyanega at gmail.com>. Learn why this is important<https://aka.ms/LearnAboutSenderIdentification>


Assignment of arbitrary points is a balancing act.

It is a recommended practice (e.g., in the Darwin Core protocols) that every specimen-level database record with a georeference should include an uncertainty radius. There are lots of collections, ours included, that follow this standard.

The problem is that not everyone who USES specimen data makes use of this "error radius" information. As tempting as it is to say "Well, it's not our fault if people abuse our data", it does nonetheless represent a real concern, such that we might NOT want to put specimen data online if the error radius is exceptionally large.

The use of centroids, common as it is, can have serious repercussions when dealing with assessments for T&E taxa. In my own experience, the datasets for various bumblebees are "contaminated" with so many such points that it has created problems, where very rare and geographically-limited species are mapping over much larger geographic areas than are realistic. This can keep a species in actual need of protection from BEING protected, and cause wasted resources when a species DOES get listed, and people spend millions of dollars doing surveys for the species in places where they have never occurred.

The responsibility here is shared, ultimately, between data providers and data consumers. Providers shouldn't assume that all users will know to check for big error radii, and consumers shouldn't assume that the error radius is always zero. Sometimes, even though you might want to have a data point in your database, you either shouldn't assign one, or - if you do - you shouldn't share it online. Not to prolong or extend the discussion, but a similar issue occurs with respect to non-native plants or animals raised in gardens or quarantine facilities; if they are given a georeference for their "novel" location, this is very open to misinterpretation. We have thousands of record in our database of this nature, as we maintain a major insectary/quarantine facility, with thousands of voucher specimens, but those data are not put online unless the data being displayed are for the point of origin.

Peace,

Dear all,

Just to be correct, I suggested four steps (30-50-70-75) instead of the three (30-50-75) John is referring to, of which the last step (above 70%) being very small (70-75) to prevent osmotic shock since the 'ethanol conc. versus osmotic pressure curve' is exponential (see John's reference: figure 7 in Waller and Strang, 1996), which also implies that the first step can be a bit higher being 30%, then 2 times steps by 20%, and when reaching 70% a much smaller step by 5% because above 70% the exponential curve start to rise significantly. Nowadays, in histology the standard is to start even with a higher first step of 50%. To be on the save side, I suggest to start with an intermediate step of 30%.

Kind regards,

Dries

Onderwerp: Re: [Nhcoll-l] [EXTERN] Removing specimens from formaldehyde


There are several drawbacks to using the suggested steps of 30-50-75.


According to Waller and Strang (1996), transfer in concentration steps greater than 20% risks causing cellular rupture to specimens because of the effect of ethanol concentration on osmotic pressure (see figure 7 in Waller and Strang 1996). As stated in their paper, ??it is clear that the osmotic pressure rises steadily with ethanol concentrations for solutions below about 75% v/v and begins to rise more rapidly at concentrations above about 80% v/v. These facts suggest that, from considerations of osmotic pressure, solutions with approximately equal concentrations are appropriate for stepping specimens up to higher ethanol concentrations, up to about 75%v/v.? This means that the abrupt change from water to 30% ETOH should be avoided, and as the concentration of ethanol nears 75% it is very close to the osmotic pressure shift, which should also be avoided by not going above 70%.


In addition, starting with the abrupt change to 30% ETOH will cause more rapid dehydration than a 20% step, and rapid dehydration is potentially destructive to tissues.


Lastly, the assumption that using 75% ethanol may result in a 70% concentration after stepping up may well be incorrect (depending on the volume of fluid used and the specimen). The recommendation for using 70% ethanol is based on the fact that 70%, ETOH is a very good biocide, but ethanol preservation is balance between providing an antiseptic environment and excessive dehydration of the specimens, so there is no reason, but some risk, in using ETOH at concentrations greater than 70% (see figures 12 and 13 in Waller and Strang 1996).

Hi Dries and all,

also added offline that especially with these large specimens it would be worth keeping an eye on layering. The final concentration should be at 70%, and you are correct that it might be worth filling the jar up with 75% instead of 70% to end up at 70% (and not 65%).

But I am not sure that the steep steps 30/50/70 are necessary for achieving this; if specimens have been sitting in formalin for long time, it might be worth considering lees steep steps (0/20/40/60/70-75) and allow for more time.

Pragmatically, when I had to handle a lot of large specimens (often large whitefish), there was the risk of what where cautioning, i.e. that specimens would arrive too fast at "70%" and the residual water could dilute the ethanol concentration to well below 70%.

Therefore, I delayed labelling of specimens usually for some time and "added" the time it took to rearrange shelves to free space to monitor the freshly filled 70% jars if I could spot any layering. You could also exchange the 70% after half a year to make sure that the concentration has not dropped significantly below 70%.

Both concentrations surely work, but I always preferred the slower option.

All the best
Dirk

Dear Vanessa,

There is a very simple way to monitor the progress of fluid exchange when transferring specimens from an aqueous solution of 4% formaldehyde to 70% ethanol.

Since the density of ethanol (d=0.79) is much lower than the density of water (d=1.00) and the density of buffered formaldehyde 4% (d=1.02), during the time the specimen is in one of the transfer baths (ethanol 20-40-60-70), the density of the surrounding fluid will slowly rise due its exchange with the heavier fluid inside the specimen.

When measuring the surrounding fluid periodically (e.g. once a week) with a densimeter you will see a logarithmic decrease in density until there is hardly a significant change anymore, which indicates that the transfer step has been fully completed and the specimen can be placed in the next bath. This way of monitoring will ensure correct transfer times without having to worry about the variables of type of specimen, shape, size, etc.

Like Dirk and John, I would also recommend four baths, but with slightly different concentrations: 30-50-70-75, which gives after complete exchange an end concentration a little over 70%.

Kind regards,

Dries

Onderwerp: Re: [Nhcoll-l] [EXTERN] Removing specimens from formaldehyde

Vanessa,
Dirk's advice is correct.

The reason we lack reliable recommendations for soaking time for each step is that there are too many variables to consider, such as the surface-to-volume ratio of the specimen, thickess of the specimen, whether the specimen has thin skin, scales, fur, a shell, and so forth, and the density and structure of the dermal layers and internal tissues.

There are several papers that give penetration times for formaldehyde or ethanol, but these rates should not be extrapolated for whole specimens. All of the published penetration rates   that I have reviewed  are based on small samples (often no more than 1 cubic cm in volume) of gels or agars, etc., so the penetration rates are not transferable to whole organisms. For example, the penetration rates of formaldehyde published by Steedman (1976) are based on gelatin and casein gels, Medawar (1941) used plasma clots, and Baker (1958) used gelatin/albumin gels.

The rate of penetration of fixatives and preservatives is complicated by the fact that the chemicals modify the tissues as they penetrate them, which greatly impedes the rate of penetration of more of the fluid, and quickly limits the depth of penetration of the fluid (this is why it is recommended to inject formaldehyde or other fixatives into specimens). In addition, penetration rates of preservative fluids are temperature dependent.

I hope that someday we will have enough research on penetration, fixation, and preservation rates that we can come up with some general guidelines for time required for each soaking step, but until that day comes, Dirk's advice is the best we have.

Dear Vanessa,

rising and staging times depends on the size of the specimens and how readily superfluous the formaldehydes is diluted from them. The specimens shown may require 2-3 days of rinsing, and then slowly going up 20/40/60/70. Each of these steps may take 1 week or longer, it depends how much formaldehyde comes out of them.

All together you should assume at least a month, but it can take you longer.

With all best wishes

Dear all,



Recently, I have discovered that most of our larger specimens kept in the large collection jars, are kept in formalin (photo for reference).



I have looked into removing the specimens from formalin and placing them into ethanol. I understand the steps that have to be taken, but I was wondering if anyone has advice on the soaking time for each step. That is the only thing that is kept vague in the texts that I have read. One reference mentioned that tortoises and racoons take two to three days.



Most the specimens that I will work with a large fish, cephlapods, and birds.



In case any of you have done this, any advice on this or the process is appreciated!



I am also open to having a quick chat via Teams or Zoom.



Kind regards,

Paul,

I have had this discussion with USFWS before and it is difficult to know definitively where it may enter the United States. In general, shipments coming from South America to the United States have a "high likelihood" of first arriving in either Miami, FL or Atlanta, GA. The recommendation if using a shipping vendor other than DHL, FedEx, or UPS is to file the USFWS 3-177 Import Declaration with the most likely port and include the 3-177 with the documentation. If it arrives in a different port than what you chose, it is easy for communication between USFWS ports (if necessary) to occur during any customs' checks. If the package is only reviewed by U.S. Customs and Border Protection, they may be the only communication point directly to the port indicated on the 3-177.

If you have any other questions, please feel free to reach out. We have had this occur multiple times in the past few years.

Sincerely,

Ben

Folks,
My original question was not how one predicts in advance which port a postal package will arrive at (in order to pre-issue a 3-177 for the sender) but what to put under ?Port of Entry? on a 3-177 when a package has already arrived on your desk through the mail and there?s no way to track it back through its journey.
I put this to the USF&W officer here in Philadelphia, and he said ?Philadelphia.? The 3-177 then got cleared, so maybe just put the nearest port to where you are?

Hi Sarah,

this was a post of Ben Hess answering a question Paul brought up ...

Hope this helps

Paul,

I have had this discussion with USFWS before and it is difficult to know definitively where it may enter the United States. In general, shipments coming from South America to the United States have a "high likelihood" of first arriving in either Miami, FL or Atlanta, GA. The recommendation if using a shipping vendor other than DHL, FedEx, or UPS is to file the USFWS 3-177 Import Declaration with the most likely port and include the 3-177 with the documentation. If it arrives in a different port than what you chose, it is easy for communication between USFWS ports (if necessary) to occur during any customs' checks. If the package is only reviewed by U.S. Customs and Border Protection, they may be the only communication point directly to the port indicated on the 3-177.

If you have any other questions, please feel free to reach out. We have had this occur multiple times in the past few years.

Sincerely,

Ben

Hi Paul,

apologies for dragging your post up without highlighting your original question again ;-)

It was because of Ben's answer ", ... shipments coming from South America to the United States have a "high likelihood" of first arriving in either Miami, FL or Atlanta, GA."

Apologies for the missing/incomplete context information!
Dirk

Hello All,
I am in the process of cleaning a room with a clothes moth pest infestation. The room was left unmanaged for some time, so they got into most things in the room. However, I have a number of bins with animal pelts/ taxidermy and while assessing damage of these bins I have found no frass or evidence of pest damage is some of them. I am severely limited on my freezer space, so I was wondering how inadvisable/ risky it would be to not do a freeze treatment for them if they were inspected thoroughly and found no evidence of pests?

Thank you for any help,

Thanks everyone, this is a most interesting string. 

When rehydrating specimens from dried out I take them up the dehydration ladder of alcohols, I tend to use 20% increases for most, 10% for fragiles and 30% stages for more robust specimens.  Smaller specimens tend to average about 2 hours in each change and I have not noted any osmotic shrinking / syneresis.  By smaller, I mean those that fit into a c. 1 litre jar. 

With all good wishes, Simon

Nowadays, in histology the standard is to start even with a higher first step of 50%. To be on the save side, I suggest to start with an intermediate step of 30%.

> According to Waller and Strang (1996), transfer in concentration steps greater than 20% risks causing cellular rupture to specimens because of the effect of ethanol concentration on osmotic pressure (see figure 7 in Waller and Strang 1996). As stated in their paper, ??it is clear that the osmotic pressure rises steadily with ethanol concentrations for solutions below about 75% v/v and begins to rise more rapidly at concentrations above about 80% v/v. These facts suggest that, from considerations of osmotic pressure, solutions with approximately equal concentrations are appropriate for stepping specimens up to higher ethanol concentrations, up to about 75%v/v.? This means that the abrupt change from water to 30% ETOH should be avoided, and as the concentration of ethanol nears 75% it is very close to the osmotic pressure shift, which should also be avoided by not going above 70%. 
> 
> In addition, starting with the abrupt change to 30% ETOH will cause more rapid dehydration than a 20% step, and rapid dehydration is potentially destructive to tissues. 
> 
> Lastly, the assumption that using 75% ethanol may result in a 70% concentration after stepping up may well be incorrect (depending on the volume of fluid used and the specimen). The recommendation for using 70% ethanol is based on the fact that 70%, ETOH is a very good biocide, but ethanol preservation is balance between providing an antiseptic environment and excessive dehydration of the specimens, so there is no reason, but some risk, in using ETOH at concentrations greater than 70% (see figures 12 and 13 in Waller and Strang 1996).

All of the published penetration rates   that I have reviewed  are based on small samples (often no more than 1 cubic cm in volume) of gels or agars, etc., so the penetration rates are not transferable to whole organisms. For example, the penetration rates of formaldehyde published by Steedman (1976) are based on gelatin and casein gels, Medawar (1941) used plasma clots, and Baker (1958) used gelatin/albumin gels.

In addition, penetration rates of preservative fluids are temperature dependent.

The Leibniz Institute for the Analysis of Biodiversity Change (LIB) is one of the large, globally connected research museums of the Leibniz Association. In addition to excellent research on biodiversity and its change, we are advancing the development of our extensive scientific collections with an international team and state-of-the-art technology. With our exhibition, knowledge transfer and communication work at our exhibition venues Museum Koenig Bonn and Museum der Natur Hamburg, we want to spread enthusiasm for nature and contribute with our research topics to current socio-political discussions on species loss, climate change and the protection of ecosystems. The construction of an integrated natural history museum is being planned for the Hamburg location; the research infrastructure at the Bonn location is currently being significantly expanded.

The LIB is looking for a scientist for a position as
Curator Ichthyology (m/f/d)
at the location Hamburg starting as soon as possible, representing research at an internationally competitive level. The successful candidate will bridge the gap between the fish collection and ichthyological research on drivers of biodiversity change in space and time.
The candidate?s scientific expertise should include collection-based ichthyological research and must cover at least one of the following fields:

?         fish morphology,

?         population and/or community ecology of fishes,

?         evolutionary ecology and/or integrative systematics of fishes.

Essential criteria

?         a PhD in zoology or related areas, preferred with focus on ichthyology,

?         expertise in fish taxonomy with a track record of research on fish species diversity in extant fishes

Hi Julian,

usually, these lovely butterflies hide in dark spots. We recently had an outbreak and found larvae in a room nearby that were feeding on dust and derbies that accumulated in corners and below cupboards.

My advice would be to freeze everything and clean the room thoroughly before the material is returned.

With best wishes
Dirk

Hello All,
I am in the process of cleaning a room with a clothes moth pest infestation. The room was left unmanaged for some time, so they got into most things in the room. However, I have a number of bins with animal pelts/ taxidermy and while assessing damage of these bins I have found no frass or evidence of pest damage is some of them. I am severely limited on my freezer space, so I was wondering how inadvisable/ risky it would be to not do a freeze treatment for them if they were inspected thoroughly and found no evidence of pests?

Thank you for any help,

I've been watching this thread, because I also have received some specimens in formalin which I'd like to transfer to ethanol. I have not seen any mention of buffering. Is the best-practice process simply to rinse in deionized water and then start up the ethanol ladder to the desired concentration, or should one insert a K2HPO4 buffering step after the water rinse (as suggested in the National Park Service Conserve O Gram 11/1)?

Thanks everyone, this is a most interesting string.

When rehydrating specimens from dried out I take them up the dehydration ladder of alcohols, I tend to use 20% increases for most, 10% for fragiles and 30% stages for more robust specimens.  Smaller specimens tend to average about 2 hours in each change and I have not noted any osmotic shrinking / syneresis.  By smaller, I mean those that fit into a c. 1 litre jar.

With all good wishes, Simon

Nowadays, in histology the standard is to start even with a higher first step of 50%. To be on the save side, I suggest to start with an intermediate step of 30%.

> According to Waller and Strang (1996), transfer in concentration steps greater than 20% risks causing cellular rupture to specimens because of the effect of ethanol concentration on osmotic pressure (see figure 7 in Waller and Strang 1996). As stated in their paper, ??it is clear that the osmotic pressure rises steadily with ethanol concentrations for solutions below about 75% v/v and begins to rise more rapidly at concentrations above about 80% v/v. These facts suggest that, from considerations of osmotic pressure, solutions with approximately equal concentrations are appropriate for stepping specimens up to higher ethanol concentrations, up to about 75%v/v.? This means that the abrupt change from water to 30% ETOH should be avoided, and as the concentration of ethanol nears 75% it is very close to the osmotic pressure shift, which should also be avoided by not going above 70%.
>
> In addition, starting with the abrupt change to 30% ETOH will cause more rapid dehydration than a 20% step, and rapid dehydration is potentially destructive to tissues.
>
> Lastly, the assumption that using 75% ethanol may result in a 70% concentration after stepping up may well be incorrect (depending on the volume of fluid used and the specimen). The recommendation for using 70% ethanol is based on the fact that 70%, ETOH is a very good biocide, but ethanol preservation is balance between providing an antiseptic environment and excessive dehydration of the specimens, so there is no reason, but some risk, in using ETOH at concentrations greater than 70% (see figures 12 and 13 in Waller and Strang 1996).

This way of monitoring will ensure correct transfer times without having to worry about the variables of type of specimen, shape, size, etc.

All of the published penetration rates   that I have reviewed  are based on small samples (often no more than 1 cubic cm in volume) of gels or agars, etc., so the penetration rates are not transferable to whole organisms. For example, the penetration rates of formaldehyde published by Steedman (1976) are based on gelatin and casein gels, Medawar (1941) used plasma clots, and Baker (1958) used gelatin/albumin gels.

In addition, penetration rates of preservative fluids are temperature dependent.

The specimens shown may require 2-3 days of rinsing, and then slowly going up 20/40/60/70. Each of these steps may take 1 week or longer, it depends how much formaldehyde comes out of them.

I understand the steps that have to be taken, but I was wondering if anyone has advice on the soaking time for each step. That is the only thing that is kept vague in the texts that I have read.

Dear Cindy,

I would omit the buffering step with PBS because of following two reasons:


  1.
There is a good chance that the formalin has acidified (even when it was initially buffered), especially when the specimens have not recently been fixed and potted. In this acid environment a lot of minerals, like calcium from bone tissue, will be dissolved in the fluid surrounding and within the tissue (sometimes at a concentration close to saturation). When adding a buffer consisting of a mixture of monobasic and dibasic phosphates after the water rinse, there is a considerable risk of crystallisation and efflorescence due to the formation of the practically insoluble dibasic calcium phosphate (Solubility in water: 0.02 g/100 mL).
  2.
The four transfer steps in the ethanol ladder will sufficiently wash out both the formic acid and the calcium ions and thus lower the acidity and the risk of further mineral loss and salt formation.

Kind regards,

Dries

Onderwerp: RE: [External] Re: [Nhcoll-l] [EXTERN] Removing specimens from formaldehyde

I've been watching this thread, because I also have received some specimens in formalin which I'd like to transfer to ethanol. I have not seen any mention of buffering. Is the best-practice process simply to rinse in deionized water and then start up the ethanol ladder to the desired concentration, or should one insert a K2HPO4 buffering step after the water rinse (as suggested in the National Park Service Conserve O Gram 11/1)?

Thanks everyone, this is a most interesting string.

When rehydrating specimens from dried out I take them up the dehydration ladder of alcohols, I tend to use 20% increases for most, 10% for fragiles and 30% stages for more robust specimens.  Smaller specimens tend to average about 2 hours in each change and I have not noted any osmotic shrinking / syneresis.  By smaller, I mean those that fit into a c. 1 litre jar.

With all good wishes, Simon

Nowadays, in histology the standard is to start even with a higher first step of 50%. To be on the save side, I suggest to start with an intermediate step of 30%.

>
> According to Waller and Strang (1996), transfer in concentration steps greater than 20% risks causing cellular rupture to specimens because of the effect of ethanol concentration on osmotic pressure (see figure 7 in Waller and Strang 1996). As stated in their paper, ??it is clear that the osmotic pressure rises steadily with ethanol concentrations for solutions below about 75% v/v and begins to rise more rapidly at concentrations above about 80% v/v. These facts suggest that, from considerations of osmotic pressure, solutions with approximately equal concentrations are appropriate for stepping specimens up to higher ethanol concentrations, up to about 75%v/v.? This means that the abrupt change from water to 30% ETOH should be avoided, and as the concentration of ethanol nears 75% it is very close to the osmotic pressure shift, which should also be avoided by not going above 70%.
>
> In addition, starting with the abrupt change to 30% ETOH will cause more rapid dehydration than a 20% step, and rapid dehydration is potentially destructive to tissues.
>
> Lastly, the assumption that using 75% ethanol may result in a 70% concentration after stepping up may well be incorrect (depending on the volume of fluid used and the specimen). The recommendation for using 70% ethanol is based on the fact that 70%, ETOH is a very good biocide, but ethanol preservation is balance between providing an antiseptic environment and excessive dehydration of the specimens, so there is no reason, but some risk, in using ETOH at concentrations greater than 70% (see figures 12 and 13 in Waller and Strang 1996).

All of the published penetration rates   that I have reviewed  are based on small samples (often no more than 1 cubic cm in volume) of gels or agars, etc., so the penetration rates are not transferable to whole organisms. For example, the penetration rates of formaldehyde published by Steedman (1976) are based on gelatin and casein gels, Medawar (1941) used plasma clots, and Baker (1958) used gelatin/albumin gels.

In addition, penetration rates of preservative fluids are temperature dependent.

Hey Julian,

Dirk is right. Specially because eggs of some of these best are very 
hard to find. They just wait for a ideal conditions for hatching. This 
can take several month without noticing, and suddenly you get the 
unexpected pest again. Freezing (two times, with at least a week in 
between freezing's) is the only certain way to go. There is always the 
anoxia treatment with nitrogen as a very efficient alternative.

All the best!

I agree that Anoxia would work very well if freezer space is an issue.  Try ZerO2 anoxia on google also if you cannot find someone who has a nitrogen tank.  That should find you a nearby source.

Subject: [Nhcoll-l] Re-homing Space Saver systems steel shelves
Message-ID: <SA9PR09MB5840DCF39A745AC487C3659BA07F2@SA9PR09MB5840.namprd09.prod.outlook.com>

Hello everyone,

This email is sort of a call for advise and for interest. I am getting way ahead of myself, as much depends on whether we get a grant we will be applying for, but I thought I might get started in polling if anyone might have use for 4 foot wide, 3 foot deep steel shelves (and associated crossbars and support bars) designed for compactor storage carriages bought from Space Saver/Diversified Storage Solutions.

The New Jersey State Museum, Bureau of Natural History, will be applying for a grant that would allow us to replace these shelves with drawers on rollers. *IF* we get the grant, we will end up with about 260 of these steel, powder-painted shelves (4' wide x 3' deep) and associated cross and support bars, to re-home, as we could not re-use most of them.

Is there anybody on this list that has units that could accommodate that size shelf, and could use any? You wouldn't have to take them all (and they wouldn't be available for a couple years yet, assuming we get the grant).
This is all theoretical at this point, but I would assume we would give them away to another institution; however they would have to be picked up (or shipping arranged/paid) by the interested party.
I would really hate to scrap them, they're in great shape for the most part (purchased/installed in late 2006). Their color is "Designer Gray."
I am assuming there isn't a place where they could be exchanged for other size shelves, or sold used. If you know of any, please let me know.
Any advice on what to do with these shelves (should we be successful in replacing them with drawers), would be most welcome.

Thank you in advance.

Hello everyone,

This email is sort of a call for advise and for interest. I am getting way ahead of myself, as much depends on whether we get a grant we will be applying for, but I thought I might get started in polling if anyone might have use for 4 foot wide, 3 foot deep steel shelves (and associated crossbars and support bars) designed for compactor storage carriages bought from Space Saver/Diversified Storage Solutions.

The New Jersey State Museum, Bureau of Natural History, will be applying for a grant that would allow us to replace these shelves with drawers on rollers. *IF* we get the grant, we will end up with about 260 of these steel, powder-painted shelves (4? wide x 3? deep) and associated cross and support bars, to re-home, as we could not re-use most of them.

Is there anybody on this list that has units that could accommodate that size shelf, and could use any? You wouldn?t have to take them all (and they wouldn?t be available for a couple years yet, assuming we get the grant).
This is all theoretical at this point, but I would assume we would give them away to another institution; however they would have to be picked up (or shipping arranged/paid) by the interested party.
I would really hate to scrap them, they?re in great shape for the most part (purchased/installed in late 2006). Their color is ?Designer Gray.?
I am assuming there isn?t a place where they could be exchanged for other size shelves, or sold used. If you know of any, please let me know.
Any advice on what to do with these shelves (should we be successful in replacing them with drawers), would be most welcome.

Thank you in advance.

Hello all,
Thanks for all the info since I last posted I managed to get access to a lot of freezer space and have started freezing as much as I can.

Thank you all for the advice,

I agree that Anoxia would work very well if freezer space is an issue.  Try ZerO2 anoxia on google also if you cannot find someone who has a nitrogen tank.  That should find you a nearby source.

HI Julian,

there seems to be a company that offers on-site fumigation in Caifornia; maybe worth checking?

Hi all,

I would like to jump on Rod's theoretical bandwagon as well. The San Diego
Natural History Museum may be looking to offload some Geology cabinet
compactors in the coming months. The carriages hold 5-6 Geology cabinets
stacked 2 high. I can provide more details should anyone be interested.
Please feel free to message me privately.

Thanks and take care,
Pam

Colleagues:
I?m writing to let you know that we just posted an additional collections position at the DMNS ? for an ~13 month Collections Assistant to work with our geology and paleontology collections. Details below. Can you please forward to your networks? It is an intro-level position but a great way to develop some collections experience. Deadlines for both positions are fast approaching ? Oct 18 and 25, respectively.

Update from the BIOFAIR Data Network Project



The Biodiversity Collections Network (BCoN), in collaboration with the American Institute of Biological Sciences (AIBS), held a series of domain-focused virtual listening sessions over the summer to engage an expansive set of stakeholders toward Building an Integrated, Open, Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, and Reusable (BIOFAIR) Data Network.



The sessions convened stakeholders from the federal agency<https://t.congressweb.com/l/?SWQPRDAHHKVFMBW>, genetic and genomic data<https://t.congressweb.com/l/?SWQPRDAHHKVUYOE>, One Health<https://t.congressweb.com/l/?SWQPRDAHHKWSQNN>, ecological data<https://t.congressweb.com/l/?SWQPRDAHHKDVGNC>, climate and environmental data<https://t.congressweb.com/l/?SWQPRDAHHKWMLNK>, and biodiversity informatics<https://t.congressweb.com/l/?SWQPRDAHHKFLIVR> communities to explore the initiation of a comprehensive biological and environmental data network through the creation of a collaborative and accessible partnership. Brief summaries from each of these sessions are available on the links above.

?

Summary Report Available



The final summary report focusing on the areas of unity across the six virtual Listening Sessions is now available. It enumerates the various barriers to data integration and offers recommendations to overcome these challenges. We welcome further input on this report via the comment section of the page linked below or via email to bcon at aibs.org<mailto:bcon at aibs.org>.

Join us for a Webinar


The steering committee will be holding a webinar on Wednesday, November 13, 2024 at 3:00 PM ET to discuss this report and to gather additional feedback to inform preparations for the upcoming workshop (February 2025) to develop recommendations and create a roadmap towards a FAIR, open, and integrated data network.

Dear all,

I thought some of you may be interested in attending our half-day symposium celebrating the 100th anniversary of the Farlow Herbarium. As you can see it is both in person and will be streamed.

Apologies if you received this information already.

Warm regards,
Genevieve

Subject: [Nhcoll-l] Specimen Tags / Tags for Skins
Message-ID: <CH3PR14MB6227A5C7D7AFB05EBDB62C0495402@CH3PR14MB6227.namprd14.prod.outlook.com>

To all of you with experience in Zoological Collections:

Has anyone attempted to just obtain specialized paper and a custom hole punch to create their own tags for skins? I am thinking it would be awesome to have the ability to print information right on to the tags, create them however we'd like them to be and then also to be able to produce them as they are needed. Additionally this could help to lower costs for our collection.

Here are my questions:

  1.
What paper do you use for the tags?
  2.
Custom hole punch?
     *
Do you use eyelets to protect tags from tearing?
  3.
Pros/Cons?
  4.
String recommendations (linen, cotton, brand?).
  5.
Supplier recommendation instead.

Thanks in advance!

Regards,
Megan

Call for Volunteers to Co-Chair SPNHC NCDC!

Are you interested in being more involved with SPNHC? Looking to contribute ideas and facilitate events geared toward emerging professionals and mid-level professionals? Have you attended the SPNHC Emerging Professionals or Networking Luncheons and wondered who helped coordinate the event?

Come join and help co-lead the SPNHC Networking and Career Development Committee (NCDC)! The formerly known Emerging Professionals Committee and the Professional Development Committee recently merged to form this one committee. We are looking for emerging, mid-level or established professionals to co-chair the committee starting in January 2025.

If you are not ready to make a commitment to co-chair, we are also seeking more committee members to support and help drive the committee for next year?s conference in Lawrence, KS and onward. Co-chairs and members of this committee are involved in planning the SPNHC Networking Luncheon event hosted annually at each conference, overseeing the conference travel awards, maintaining the committee?s social media presence, and otherwise finding ways to facilitate networking and professional development of SPNHC members at all career stages. Upcoming goals for this committee also include the development of a mentor-mentee program that would connect mentees to mentors at the annual conference and beyond as well as bi-monthly ?share your expertise? meetings. Any involvement with this committee is a minimal time commitment, but a great opportunity to support the committee and SPNHC overall! Let?s not forget you can also add this to your resume!

General Interest form to join SPNHC NCDC Committee<https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSflSw7Jzh6f4g_5tJqQIsGgUcSI3OZ4xTdZdf1OspJQbKPaHw/viewform?usp=sf_link>: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSflSw7Jzh6f4g_5tJqQIsGgUcSI3OZ4xTdZdf1OspJQbKPaHw/viewform?usp=sf_link

Please reach out directly to our committee's new leading co-chair, Megan King, if you are interested in becoming a co-chair, being more active in the committee, or for questions about SPNHC NCDC!

Thank you,

SPNHC NCDC Co-Chairs

or the text below for details. I am happy to answer questions about the
position.
Biology Collections Manager
Description

Imagine yourself here. Be a part of something great at the Science Museum
of Minnesota. We exist to turn on the science and inspire learning, inform
policy and improve lives. We envision a world in which all people have the
power to use science to make lives better. We value science as an essential
literacy and strive for inclusion inside and out so that our museum and our
people reflect and respond to the diverse needs and cultures of our
community.

Join our Biology Department team as the Biology Collections Manager and
help us steward and make accessible a collection of ~180,000 plant, insect,
mollusk, mammal, bird, reptile, amphibian, and fish specimens. The Biology
Collections Manager leads the care and preparation of specimens by engaging
in activities that include monitoring and remediating specimen condition,

cataloging, and digitizing specimens, cleaning and sharing digitized data
with aggregators, and conducting archival research to reunite specimens
with their data. The Biology Collections Manager collaborates with the
Biology Curator to supervise volunteers and interns, reorganize the
collection, develop workflows, and manage projects. They will share their
love of collections and the natural world with others. This position will

Subject: [Nhcoll-l] The search for an internship in preservation of Natural
 collections and collection managements and preparation and research
 initiation maybe !
Message-ID: <CADW1giKT+JRQXmFAoQCpZxr5OUwA3WjoC0Mjy3HP6ym10cKVyg@mail.gmail.com>

Hello everyone!
I'm currently looking for an internship for my M1 in Museology of Human and
Natural Sciences at the National Natural History Museum of Paris.

I've already got a few leads, but I thought that sending a little message
here might open up some opportunities I hadn't thought of!

So, as I said earlier, as part of my studies I have to do an internship in
a museum structure between 2 and 5.5 months from the beginning of March.

For a bit of background, my name is Violette Fonrose, I'm 21 and I've been
fascinated by nature collections since I was a child. When the weather was
bad and the zoo was closed, my parents would take me to the natural history
museum, and this passion has never left me.

I'm looking for an internship in Europe in particular, but I'm not at all
closed to America (whether North, Central or South!).

I'd be more interested in collections conservation and collections
management, I really like the world of fluid conservation in particular,
the conservation problems associated with it and the ways of dealing with
them, and more in Zoology, on the whole I'm very interested in recent
Zoology collections and also botany!

I'd love to get involved in the world of research, why not in conservation
(techniques, ways of dealing with it, I was particularly interested in the
FLUIDIS project at the University of Zurich for example), I'm also very,
very interested in the impact of colonisation on the way we view naturalist
collections, I'm thinking, for example, of the research into the history of
collections on Australian animals, and how the way we see these animals has
been governed by colonisation (very interesting work by Jack Ashby by the
way !).

Research into the history of collections on the decolonisation of
naturalist collections is a subject that interests me a lot as well.

In short, please find attached my CV, and don't hesitate to contact me if
you're interested in welcoming a highly motivated intern! I have a C1 level
in English, and can get by in Spanish and German!

Thanks a lot,
Kind regards,

Violette Fonrose

Dear Symbiota community,

Please join us for the next meeting of the Symbiota Support Group on *Monday,
November 4th at 12p Pacific / 3p Eastern*. This month's topic will be *Research
Checklists in Symbiota portals*.

The checklists feature in Symbiota allows users to create taxon lists for
research and teaching. In a previous a Symbiota Support Group meeting, we
covered how to create and manage checklists (recording
<https://click.mlsend.com/link/c/YT0yNTk3Mzg1MTMwNDc3NjI0MjgwJmM9ZzVuMCZlPTAmYj0xMzc2OTQ0NzYzJmQ9aDdxNG0wdQ==.DKnLasWyzIPyN2w5cYmMz3DAWGkoqGCNFgPaT2AXFkA>).
This month, we will focus on the use of checklists as tools for research,
with demonstrations by Jennifer Gir?n and Mackenzie Anderson-Bell.
Specifically, they will show checklists used for collaborative research, as
well as checklists based on geography, a collector, or a primary species.

*Webinar: BIOFAIR Data Network Listening Sessions ? A Summary*

The Biodiversity Collections Network (BCoN), in collaboration with the
American Institute of Biological Sciences (AIBS), held a series of
domain-focused virtual listening sessions over the summer to engage an
expansive set of stakeholders toward Building an Integrated, Open,
Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, and Reusable (BIOFAIR
<https://bcon.aibs.org/biofair/>) Data Network. The sessions convened
stakeholders from the federal agency, genetic and genomic data, One Health,
ecological data, climate and environmental data, and biodiversity
informatics communities to explore the initiation of a comprehensive
biological and environmental data network through the creation of a
collaborative and accessible partnership. Brief summaries from each of
these sessions are available on the links above.

The final summary report
<https://bcon.aibs.org/2024/10/09/summary-report-listening-sessions/>
focusing on the areas of unity across the six virtual Listening Sessions is
now available. The steering committee will be holding a webinar on *Wednesday,
November 13, 2024 at 3:00 PM ET* to discuss this report and to gather
additional feedback to inform preparations for the upcoming
interdisciplinary workshop (February 2025) to develop recommendations and
create a roadmap towards a FAIR, open, and integrated data network.

Introduction to Biodiversity Specimen Digitization
Apply at: https://forms.gle/u2anwVHChKsPQoZA9

This free, online course is focused on public participation in science as it relates to digitization and research using biodiversity specimens. Public participation in science is sometimes referred to as citizen science, community science, or crowdsourcing.
The aim of the course is to empower participants with the knowledge and skills to successfully (1) identify and address the opportunities and additional complexity that public participation introduces to a digitization project at a biodiversity collection, including ethical and legal factors, (2) design a public participation in digitization project, including budgeting and risk management, (3) identify, evaluate, and use tools and online platforms in a public participation in digitization workflow, (4) identify and implement quality management strategies, (5) identify common participant motivations and strategies to recruit and engage participants in a project, including events, games, and online forums, (6) and perform evaluation of a public participation in digitization project.
This course is targeted at those already associated with a biodiversity collection, such as student technicians, collections managers, curators, affiliated educators, or administrators. The course will be relevant to a diversity of collection types. Participants do not need prior knowledge of public participation in science, only a desire to use it as part of their future research or digitization activities.
The course will occur from December 16?19 (Monday?Thursday) between 11:00 am and 3:00 pm Eastern. Participants can expect to spend three hours per day in synchronous meetings and as much as two additional hours of preparation time per day outside class. So this is about a 20-hour time commitment.
The course will be delivered in English. Those interested in participating from outside the US are welcome to apply.
Applications<https://forms.gle/u2anwVHChKsPQoZA9> are due by 10:00 am ET on Wednesday, November 20, 2024.
Questions can be directed to Kalina Jakymec (kjakymec at fsu.edu<mailto:kjakymec at fsu.edu>; iDigBio?s Workforce Development Manager) and Austin Mast (amast at fsu.edu<mailto:amast at fsu.edu>; Director of iDigBio?s Digitization, Workforce Development, and Citizen Science Domain).

Here at the BI we have three -80 chest freezers (all supplied by Thermo Fisher) along with our three liquid nitrogen dewars and they are all connected to a Johnson Controls (formerly TYCO, formerly ADT) alarm system using the provided connection points at the rear of the freezer.  This monitors high temperature (above -50?F) and power failure signals and then automatically calls a call lost we have set up in the system with both home and work numbers for 7 or 8 key personnel associated with the resources.  They continue to call until they reach a physical person who can respond to the alarm and check up afterwards to ensure that all is back to normal.  The liquid nitrogen dewars also have 4 alarms - high temp, low level, high level and battery backup that function similarly.  We also have an oxygen sensor in the Genetic Resources Facility connected to the same system.  This gives us 19 "zones" that are monitored across the facility.

Besides the company takeovers that have happened and associated changes required we have been very happy with the system we have in place and it has never failed us in cases of minor emergencies (power failures, freezer failure, LN2 supply tanks empty).

Happy to provide more information if it would be helpful.

Andy

Hi Gabriela,

The UWYMV has -80 upright freezers and we use the SensoScientific monitoring system: https://www.sensoscientific.com/en-us/.
They have different options for different problems, and we recently just purchased an ambient room temperature sensor to keep track of ambient fluctuations in our freezer room, as well as the sensors we have inside the freezers. We were able to add it to the same system as the freezer nodes, and I can access the temperature readings and alarm system from online or an app on my phone. I like the customization of who and what type of alarms they can get. I'm able to add in multiple different people as back-ups. It's saved us a couple of times.

cheers,
Beth Wommack
