项目摘要

The Florida State Collection of Arthropods (FSCA), one of the largest arthropod museums in North America, has 8.18 million prepared specimens and over 3,400 primary types. The FSCA has far outgrown its original capacity and presently has very large holdings from the southeastern United States, the circum-Caribbean area, South America and Oriental regions. Most groups comprising the FSCA's major taxonomic strengths are beyond current drawer capacity, allowing no expansion and little proper curation. Many thousands of pinned and labeled specimens, including many already identified to species, are housed off-site and/or in miscellaneous, poorly accessible storage boxes. With adequate cabinet and drawer space, these specimens can be curated and made available for research and education. This project will add about 7000 drawers and over 130 cabinets in order fully to use available space in the museum. It will increase the museum's drawer capacity by 48% and allow full incorporated of over 1.45 million prepared specimens of Lepidoptera, Dipters, Hemiptera, Homoptera, Odonata, and Coleoptera. This will alleviate urgent space needs of the FCSA, house the entire pinned collection in drawers, allow further mission-oriented growth, and make valuable material and data available to the public and scientific communities.

佛罗里达州立节肢动物博物馆（FSCA）是北美最大的节肢动物博物馆之一，拥有818万个制备标本和3，400多个主要类型。 FSCA的发展已远远超过其原来的能力，目前拥有来自美国东南部、环加勒比地区、南美洲和东方地区的大量库存。大多数组包括FSCA的主要分类优势超出了目前的抽屉容量，不允许扩展和适当的策展。数以千计的固定和标记的标本，包括许多已经确定的物种，被安置在场外和/或在杂项，难以访问的存储箱。有了足够的橱柜和抽屉空间，这些标本可以被策展并用于研究和教育。该项目将增加约7000个抽屉和130多个橱柜，以充分利用博物馆的可用空间。它将使博物馆的抽屉容量增加48%，并允许完全纳入超过145万个准备好的标本，包括鳞翅目，双翅目，半翅目，同翅目，蜻蜓目和鞘翅目。这将缓解FCSA对空间的迫切需求，将整个收藏品放在抽屉里，允许进一步以任务为导向的增长，并向公众和科学界提供有价值的材料和数据。
