This project will enhance physical and on-line data access to the Charles W. and Lois B. O'Brien insect collection, with an estimated 1,000,000 specimens of weevils and 250,000 planthoppers. This collection has particular strengths in New World tropical groups, where 60-90% of the known genera and species of these megadiverse plant-feeding insects are represented. The project will raise Arizona State University's profile as a center for understanding the systematics and evolution of two highly diverse and economically impactful insect groups. The collection transfer and mobilization will involve multi-generational specialists and train diverse populations of students and citizen scientists. Media-based outreach will include a series of podcast episodes about specialized life histories of weevils and planthoppers, and sharing of high-quality specimen photographs through the #YourDailyWeevil Twitter hashtag. To house the O'Brien collection at Arizona State University, the project will acquire and install 30 entomological double cabinets and matching Cornell-sized drawers and unit trays. All specimens will be reorganized into the new infrastructure according to a single, well-referenced classification. The collection's impact is reflected in more than 300 publications, nearly 400 primary types that anchor species names, rare specimen material pertaining to multiple thousands of species new to science, and a legacy of expert mentorship. Existing identifications will be updated, and the legibility and consistency of identification labels for unit trays and pinned specimen sets will be improved, thereby resolving current challenges to access. Focusing on the biologically distinctive weevil sub-families Dryophthoridae, Conoderinae, and Entiminae from Central America, all unique taxon/collecting event instances will be digitized; representing an estimated 1,200-1,500 species and 8,000-12,000 specimens. Digitization will include georeferencing and the production of high-resolution species images. The occurrence data and images will be published as a Symbiota Collections of Arthropods Network (SCAN) checklist, shared with iDigBio, and submitted upon completion to a biodiversity data journal. The checklist will be promoted as a first specimen-based update of the seminal Biologia Centrali-Americana for weevils, published more than 100 years ago.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.

该项目将加强对查尔斯W。还有露易丝B。奥布莱恩昆虫收藏，估计有100万个象鼻虫标本和25万个稻飞虱标本。 该系列在新世界热带种群中具有特别的优势，其中代表了这些巨大多样性植物饲养昆虫的已知属和种的60-90%。 该项目将提升亚利桑那州立大学作为了解两个高度多样化和经济影响力昆虫群体的系统学和进化中心的形象。 收集、转移和调动将涉及多代专家，并培训不同群体的学生和公民科学家。 基于媒体的宣传将包括一系列关于象鼻虫和稻飞虱专门生活史的播客节目，以及通过#YourDailyWeevil Twitter标签分享高质量的标本照片。 为了容纳亚利桑那州立大学的奥布莱恩收藏品，该项目将购买和安装30个昆虫学双柜和匹配的康奈尔大小的抽屉和单位托盘。 所有标本将根据一个单一的、参考充分的分类重新组织到新的基础设施中。 该系列的影响反映在300多份出版物中，近400种主要类型的锚物种名称，与数千种新物种有关的稀有标本材料，以及专家指导的遗产。将更新现有标识，并改进单元托盘和固定样本组标识标签的易读性和一致性，从而解决当前的访问挑战。 集中在生物学上独特的象鼻虫亚科Dryophthoridae，Conoderinae，和来自中美洲，所有独特的分类/收集事件实例将被数字化;代表估计1，200 - 1，500种和8，000 - 12，000标本。 数字化将包括地理参照和制作高分辨率物种图像。 发生的数据和图像将作为节肢动物网络（SCAN）清单的共生生物群集合发布，与iDigBio共享，并在完成后提交给生物多样性数据期刊。 该清单将作为100多年前出版的开创性的中美洲象鼻虫生物学的第一个基于哥伦比亚的更新进行推广。该奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并被认为值得通过使用基金会的知识价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估来支持。
