Descrição
The FLMNH Recent bird skeleton collection of 27,500 specimens is approximately fifth largest in the world in number of specimens and species. In 1992, the FLMNH received the Recent bird skeleton collection assembled by Prof. Pierce Brodkorb of the University of Florida's Department of Zoology. With the assistance of an NSF collection improvement grant, this skeleton collection was computer-cataloged and integrated into the FLMNH bird collection. The bird skin collection contains approximately 24,000 specimens. These are mostly traditional study skins, but in recent years we have prepared a large proportion of new specimens with spread wings and associated skeletons. In 1992, the division also received the collection of approximately 3,000 skins assembled by Prof. Brodkorb. The skeleton and skin collections between them represent about 3,700 species in about 1,380 genera. The egg collection, consisting of 10,400 sets representing 733 species, is 11th largest in North America in number of sets and 15th largest in number of species. It represents approximately 90% of the species and subspecies of North American birds. The egg collection includes original collectors' data slips and collector's field notes. The bird sound collection, in the FLMNH Bioacoustic Archives, with 24,000 cataloged recordings representing about 3,200 species, is perhaps third or fourth largest in the world in number of species. In the western hemisphere it is the second largest in number of species and third largest in number of recordings. We are now processing one of our largest accessions ever, the collection of Ben B. Coffey, Jr., with thousands of high-quality recordings from the southeastern USA and the Neotropics.
