A new look at decades of data from #MuseumCollections & #surveys of #LeafLitter #ants in #Florida #reveals a steady #decline in #NativeAnts , #simultaneous #increase in #nonNative ants—even in #protected natural areas of the state, researchers report.
#Reported in the journal Current #Biology , the findings point to a potential future devoid of native ants, the #researchers said.

Excited to share recently accepted review by Rauri Bowie and I in J. Heredity. We discuss how the DNA from millions of #specimens in #MuseumCollections can illuminate past population responses to anthropogenic change and uniquely inform a host of #conservation #genomics questions.
For advance access article. https://doi.org/10.1093/jhered/esac066
Look for this review along with many other exciting #ConservationGenomics papers in a special issue edited by @KZ_UTAustin appearing in J. Heredity next year.

If you are interested in our holdings, please reach out to me and/or Megan McCuller. What questions can be addressed using these collections? Where to even begin? WE begin by getting the word out that we exist. We are but one collection. Think of the power of networks of natural history collections (e.g., NCMNS+Virginia Museum of Natural History+Florida Museum+Smithsonian’s National Museum of Natural History+etc! #museum #museumcollections #scicomm #crustacea #curation

Every so often we stumble across a specimen record that makes us laugh for days. This is one of them. We recently acquired the South Carolina DNR’s Southeast Regional Taxonomic Center marine collection, and are working to integrate the metadata into our database. #crabs #crustacea #crustaceans #MuseumCollections #museum #CollectionsCare #curation #crustmas #25daysofcrustmas #malacostraca

Hi #PGR #ECR folks. If you’re interested in #MuseumCollections #archives #BigData approaches or the close reading of documents for the material you still have time to apply for what should be a great workshop
Museum History Research: Sources, Methods, Approaches

Well, here are some #Introduction hashtags for folks to help find. I'm a #Museum #Curator in charge of #Birds, a #Conservation scientist, and #Queer af.
I often post about #Seabirds, #PlasticPollution, #MuseumCollections and my cat Webster.
This feed (hopefully?) echos what TheLabAndField[at]twitter is/was.
Remember to give communities time to sort themselves out. I've been here since 2017 and there's A LOT of new folks around. Patience & kindness.
