Notes de l'éditeur
Expertise is in Nearctic looper moths, so most of my examples will be entomological, and biased towards North America and Australia.
appears to be a recurring phenotype

want vouchers to exist in perpetuity
Alcohol Tubes of Lepidoptera (ATOLep) collection
You may not have your own imaging equipment, microscope, laptop, printer, etc. Unambiguous collection codes
Paul Hebert discussing sampling the Lepidoptera in the Australian National Insect Collection with the head, John LaSalle. Of course one of the limits you may want to discuss is the access to sub-sample type specimens.
Highly taxon-specific but I assume this will be covered this afternoon in module 4.
if you’re trying to capture the full scope of genetic variation within a species, you may wish to sample the ‘outlier’ specimens
Microscopic examination of the specimens revealed that all diagnostic characters were intact after extraction including the presence and the position of chaeta, the tegument granulation and structures. inexpensive protocol involving voucher recovery
links provider/recipient provide policies up front, avoid problems later
Australian National Insect Collection 2010/2011 ‘barcode blitz’
young in terms of specimen age You can see the head of ANIC, John LaSalle, laying out the ground rules
Michelle will go through the various steps in the next talk
