Modernization of Collection Facilities and Computer Databases of the University of Michigan Museum of Zoology Insect Division

这项支持将使美国动物学博物馆的节肢动物收藏得到改善和重新安置。密歇根州，以新的橱柜（174）和抽屉（5200）的形式，以取代不合格的，并适应增长。 该馆藏有400万个标本和1012个正模标本，是北美第三大大学昆虫馆藏，在蜻蜓目、直翅目、双翅目、鞘翅目和阿卡里中尤为突出。 这一改进将与大学对收藏区的改造相结合：具体而言，该机构将建造一个新的湿实验室和柜台，并为空调准备空间，估计支出为520，000美元，用于动物学博物馆的昆虫和两栖爬行动物部门。 这些收藏品对于区域、国家和国际的生物多样性研究和教育是必不可少的。 这一改进将使研究人员和学生更好地获得材料，并将有助于为后代生物学家保存这些藏品。 美国动物学博物馆。密歇根大学拥有全国最重要的节肢动物收藏之一：拥有400万个标本，是北美第三大大学昆虫收藏。 这一支持将允许重新安置受到不合标准和损坏的抽屉和橱柜威胁的材料。 与此同时，该机构正在为收集设施提供价值520 000美元的资本改进，包括气候控制和新实验室。 这种支持将使生物多样性研究人员和学生更容易和更安全地获得标本，并将为未来的生物学家保护标本。 *** Y ` R W Y $ $ $ D Y ` Y ( Times New Roman 符号Arial $ $ $ " H { e{ e 7 伦纳德克里希塔尔卡伦纳德克里希塔尔卡

9312166 OConnor This support will enable the improvement and rehousing of the arthropod collections in the Museum of Zoology, U. Michigan, in the form of new cabinets (174) and drawers (5200) to replace substandard ones and to accommodate growth. The collection, with 4 million specimens and 1012 holotypes, is the third largest university insect collection in North America and is particularly strong in Odonata, Orthoptera, Diptera, Coleoptera and Acari. This improvement will occur in concert with the university's renovation of the collection areas: specifically, the institution will construct a new wet lab and counters, and prepare the space for air conditioning, with an estimated expenditure of $520,000 for the divisions of Insects and Amphibians & Reptiles in the Museum of Zoology. The collection is indispensable for biodiversity research and education regionally, nationally and internationally. This improvement will allow better access to the material for researchers and students and will help preserve these holdings for future generations of biologists. %%% The Museum of Zoology, U. Michigan houses one of the most important arthropod collections in the country: with 4 million specimens, it is the third largest university insect collection in North America. This support will allow rehousing of the material threatened by substandard and deteriorated drawers and cabinets. At the same time, the institution is providing $520,000 worth of capital improvements to the collection facilities, including climate-control and new laboratories. This support will provide much easier and safer access to the specimens fo r researchers and students in biodiversity, and will protect the collection for future biologists. *** Y ` R W Y $ $ $ D Y ` Y ( Times New Roman Symbol & Arial $ $ $ " h { e{ e 7 Leonard Krishtalka Leonard Krishtalka
