MBC inventory team

1. What living things exist?

2. Where do they live?

178 inventory sites

worker head measurements

90% of taxonomic products

never used

Museum: warehouse of dead creatures

Not a spatio-temporal portal on life

Is taxonomy dead?

in the middle of a breakthrough

taxonomists are dying

Does this matter?

If you study

less so

But, if you like

you are in trouble

Why does this matter?

Species Scape

Organisms drawn proportional to number of species in each group

Lots of undescribed species

Fewer taxonomists

"suicidal" experiment

linked to understanding impact of human

activities

Dow Jones index to the environment

Original Habitats:10% remain

Using taxonomic data, the

government will triple protected

habitat in 5 years

178 inventory sites

Industrial-strengthspecimen processing

streamlines data management

Develop inventory methods

Establish processing centers

Accelerate identification

Apply to conservation
