1. Preface by the director

1.1 Introduction

The mission of the Zoological Museum Amsterdam, ZMA, is to provide scientific information on biodiversity based on its collections and its research, to users from within and outside the international academic community.To meet this target, the collections’ accessibility has to be optimal, the scientific research up-to-date, the dissemination of information through education effective and all of this should be supported by well-directed outreach.Thanks to the immense effort of staff members, guest and honorary staff members, ZMA performed excellent on all these points in 2006 and 2007. The NWO grant for the NL-TAF project Building the Databases of Life (NWO-Groot project) enabled the digitisation of over 316,000 specimens. Among those digitized are the collections of the famous Siboga Expedition (1899-1900), which comprises one of our most valuable possessions. An overview of the scientific results, the contribution to education, and the services given to public organisations over 2006-2007 is given in this Annual Report.

1.2 Highlights in 2006 & 2007

The scientific output of the ZMA was substantial: a total of 235 publications were issued and 31 lectures were given at congresses and symposiums. Our various world specialists in different taxonomic groups brought about numerous internationally highly valued taxonomic revisions, keys and catalogues.

In 2006, the Department of Invertebrates of the ZMA received the last shipments of the world-famous and taxonomically most important Kawakatsu Collection of planarian flatworms. The collection of the section of Entomology was enriched by donations of up to 175,000 specimens belonging to various fauna’s of the world.

Over 3,200 scientific visitors to the collections could be counted. This includes the visits paid to the Library of the Netherlands Entomological

Society and the Library of the Netherlands Malacological Society, both housed in and managed by ZMA.

Various expeditions were carried out, among those a mixed staff and students expedition to the Caribbean, organised by the Vertebrates section.

Substantial contributions were made to European projects. The European Network of Excellence European Distributed Institute of Taxonomy (EDIT) was launched at Paris in 2006. ZMA’s task is to set up, together with its European partners, a proper information infrastructure for future cross-linking of taxonomic data bases.The section Biodiversity Informatics made progress on the long term sustain of the Fauna Europaea services. See for more information, see chapter 4.2.

1.3 Teaching

As usual the ZMA-staff contributed substantially to the bachelor and master programs coordinated by the Institute of Biodiversity and Ecosystem Dynamics (IBED). ZMA taxonomists gave a strong input in the bachelor field and identification courses. Due to decreasing taxonomic knowledge among biologists the need to teach biology students taxonomy is felt as increasingly urgent.

1.4 Services

IASE, Identification and Advisory Services in Entomology, provided services to companies and sometimes public organisations that encounter problems with insects and other arthropods in stored products and indoor situations in general (see the special section in chapter 2.1).Since 1960, the ZMA is involved by contract in the identification of birds hit by airplanes of the Royal Netherlands Air Force. A total of 71 remains were identified. For more details see chapter 2.3.

Research Projects

General

In 2006, substantial parts of the entomological collection were digitized as part of the NWO financed project Building the Databases of Life which aims to finance large scale research equipment. In 2006 several persons participated temporary in data-entry: Dr. Arnold de Boer, Wijnand Heitmans, Thomas Lackner, Peter Spannenburg, and Yvonne Taams. Staff member Rob Portegies also contributed substantially. Taxonomic groups covered are Oriental Coleoptera types, Palaearctic Lepidoptera Rhopalocera, Diptera types, Palaearctic Diptera Tipulidae, Hymenoptera Bombidae Bombus, and several taxa of invasive insects. In 2008 the digitised data will be made publicly available on the internet.

Acari

Honorary staff member Harry Smit cooperated with Tom Goldschmitt from Germany during the latter’s Synthesys visit to ZMA in 2007, studying Australian water mites. A paper resulting from this work has been submitted in 2008.

Diptera

In 2006, in collaboration with international specialists (Jon Gelhaus, Philadelphia; Pjotr Oosterbroek, Amsterdam; Herbert Reusch, Wellendorf; Chen Young, Pittsburgh), Dr. Herman de Jong finished a chapter on aquatic Tipuloidea to appear in a book dealing with global freshwater animal biodiversity. Editorial complications delayed the actual publication until 2008. De Jong worked on ongoing projects dealing with the phylogenies

of the Ptychopteridae s.l., the larger groups of the Lower Diptera, and the Tipuloidea. Work on the Ptychopteridae and Lower Diptera is mainly based on fossil evidence, the study of the Tipuloidea includes information of recent species and extinct forms. De Jong supervised the work of master student Louis Boumans, who in the period 2006-2007 studied the phylogeography of the Tipula maxima species group. Publications are pending. Under supervision of De Jong, master student Pasquale Ciliberti studied the possibilities and limitations of ecological niche modelling, using several groups of insects as study objects. In 2007, Ciliberti elaborated on a part of this work and submitted, together with M. Schouten, P. Verweij (both Utrecht), Heitmans and De Jong a publication on the modelling of four species of cockroaches in the Netherlands.Honorary staff member Dr. Pjotr Oosterbroek published the English version of his book The European families of the Diptera. The result of an intensive collaboration with European and non-European experts, the book presents the most comprehensive currently available entry into the systematics of the Diptera at the family level for the Palaearctic region. Together with Voldya Lantsov (Pyatigorsk), Fenja Brodo (Ottawa), and Jaroslav Stary (Olomouc), Oosterbroek published a monograph on the Tipuloidea of Greenland.

Hemiptera

Honorary staff member Dr. Hans Duffels published several papers on the systematics of Oriental and Australasian Cicadidae, among which a paper together with Arnold de Boer summarizing endemism of cicadas in Papua, Indonesia. Honorary staff member Berend Aukema together with Christian Rieger edited and published part 5 (2) of their Catalogue of the Palaearctic Heteroptera. This publication, counting 550+ pages, continues the outstanding series that started in 1995.

Lepidoptera

Rob de Vos continued his work on Oriental and Australasian Arctiidae and published several papers on this topic. Especially his 2007 paper in the journal Aldrovandia adds significantly to our understanding of the systematics of this large family. In order to enable his scientific work, De Vos made several trips to collections abroad.

IASE, Identification and Advisory Services in Entomology,

provides services to companies and sometimes public

organisations that encounter problems with insects and

other arthropods in stored products and indoor situations

in general. The majority of the questions concern overseas

cargo that is transhipped, stored, or processed in the

Netherlands. Most of these commodities are raw

agricultural products for the food and animal feed industry.

Questions concern the reconstruction of events that could

have led to an infestation. The aims behind these questions

concern liability, damage control and prevention. Evidently,

the basis of the work is species identification.

Since insect infestations are less often insured, requests for

identification, in earlier years standard procedure, are

dropping. On the other hand, the tolerance for insect

infestations in products has by no means increased and

insect control has not become easier. In areas of production

the problem of insect infestations as a result of improper

fumigation procedures has not been solved and the

problem of acquired tolerance of insects for fumigants will

not be solved either. The ban on the use of methyl bromide

as a fumigant has taken away the most practical control

measure and also the use of some of the existing

insecticides is no longer allowed. It is not surprising that

every now and then infestations of large scale facilities get

completely out of control and in these cases extra help is

asked. For instance stored cereals were completely wrapped

by webbing of Plodia interpunctella, the Indian meal moth,

and a population of Cryptolestes ferrugineus, the flat grain

beetle, had exploded in hot spots in another grain bulk to

an extend that the grains began to sprout. Fortunately for

the logistic business, the availability of Integrated Pest

Management techniques like the application of artificial

atmosphere, particularly low oxygen concentration, is

growing. Sometimes insect infestations occur unexpectedly

and help is asked in finding weak points in a logistic

system. With the aid of knowledge about the behaviour

and biology of the species involved, improvements were

suggested.

A second type of service of IASE is research in the field of

entomo-archaeology. The basis of this work is identification

of preserved insect remains, loose parts and fragments,

mostly from waterlogged layers in archaeological

excavations in the Netherlands. This work depends heavily

on the museum collection which is used as a reference.

The aim is reconstructing events and environments in

prehistory and later. Two projects were involved, the

excavation in development project De Vergulde Hand in

Vlaardingen-West and housing development plan

Ypenburg. An environmental factor that was studied in

both cases concerns the salinity of the water surrounding

the settlements. Insects in stored products are by no means

a modern problem; remains of these insects can also be

found in archaeological samples. It appears that in the

Roman period insect infestations in stored products are

common and sometimes severe and that in earlier periods, like

the Iron Age (area 9 of the Vlaardingen excavation), problems

with insect infestations of stored products are less intense.

Research projects

General

The major result is the complete digitalization of the collections made by the famous Siboga Expedition (1899-1900), which comprises the most valuable possession of the section. Approximatelly 30,000 samples, including 6,500 type specimens were brought together in a single searchable database, which will be accessible on-line in 2008.

Coelenterata

Rob van Soest participated in the second (2006) and third (2007) BIOSYS cruise, the N.I.O.Z. program for research of deep sea coral reefs. The reefs off the coast of the southern Hebrides, Scotland (so called Mingulay Reefs) and the Skager Rak reefs on the border of Norway and Sweden were the focus. These reefs are much shallower and closer to the mainland than the Rockall Bank reefs studied in 2005. On the Scottish reefs 228 sponge samples were collected and preliminarily identified on board (70+ species), at the Skager Rak reefs 102 samples and 47+ species. Back in Amsterdam additional unsorted samples were examined bringing the species numbers up to 98 viz. 74 species. A comparison of sponge compositions of four investigated BIOSYS reef localities will be made to detect distribution patterns in these North East Atlantic habitats. Several publications have appeared or are in preparation.Mario de Kluijver finished his NWO project The Impact of Global Change on the Biological Diversity of the North Sea. Do invading species change the composition and function of the North Sea ecosystem? and is currently preparing a new North Sea project.Led by De Kluijver, amateur biologists and recreational divers, made a survey of newly introduced sponges in Dutch coastal waters. Several spectacular newcomers, such as Celtodoryx girardae and Leucosolenia aff. somesii could be reported (see van Soest et al. 2007).Joana Xavier, a Portuguese PhD student shared with IBED, collected sponges for her thesis work on the Gorringe sea mount and on the Berlengas islands off the Portuguese mainland coast. She continued her molecular systematic work on several species of sponges collected in the Macaronesian

islands and the Western and Eastern Mediterranean in order to unravel the phylogeographic history of these sponges.In 2007, on MARBEF funds, Henk de Haas incorporated several hundred non-original/non-accepted names of European sponges in the World Porifera Database, which is published on line by VLIZ (Belgium).

Vermes and Marine Plankton

February 2006, Annelies Pierrot-Bults visited Woods Hole and the University of Connecticut to identify Chaetognatha in the samples of the CmarZ Sargasso Sea expedition and to determine specimens for barcoding and further molecular analyses both from this expedition and the 2004 G.O. Sars expedition, resulting in a publication in Deep-Sea Research II 55(1-2):137-141 (2008).Pierrot-Bults attended the MARBEF RMP Integration of different methods to study patterns and changes in pelagic biodiversity in the open ocean along the Mid-Atlantic Ridge meeting in Kiel, discussing the production of a report on oceanic sites for all taxonomy identification, monitoring and evaluation.

November 2007, Pierrot-Bults participated in a CmarZ cruise from Las Palmas to Cape Town on the Polarstern to identify Chaetognatha and determine specimens for barcoding and other molecular studies in cooperation with Robert Jenning and Katja Peijnenburg. More than 8.000 specimens were identified.

Harry ten Hove presented a lecture on serpulids in the 2006 Workshop on the High Biodiversity of the Gulf of Aqaba (Eilat) Origins, Dimensions and Protection, where he, also on behalf of M. N. Ben-Eliahu and D. Fiege. He also gave a presentation on the 9th International Polychaete Conference, Portland, USA and presented two posters with co-authors Ben-Eliahu, C. Ramahim, O. Vinn & H. Mutvei. With the latter two scientists a link was made with paleontology of serpulids. Ten Hove retired from the section in September 2007, only to immediately continue as a guest and associate researcher on serpulids.In 2006, Henk de Haas assisted in the digitalization of the Siboga Echinoderms and Tunicates.

Crustacea

In October 2007, Dirk Platvoet successfully defended his thesis at the Aula of the UvA. His study focused on Dikerogammarus villosus (Sowinsky, 1894), an aggressive invasive amphipod (“vlokreeft”) from the Ponto-Caspian realm that, after its first recording in the Netherlands around 1995, was recognized having a devastating impact on the indigenous aquatic fauna. Ecology and behaviour of this species were his first subjects of study, leading to several arguments for the success of this invader. By means of morphometrics, Platvoet found that those body parts involved in predatory behaviour show a steeper allometric growth in D. villosus than in the native Gammarus duebeni, a species replaced by D. villosus.

The second part of his thesis was based on the results of the Amphipod Pilot Species Project (AMPIS), a co-operation between the UvA, the Institute of Zoology of the Chinese Academy of Sciences in Beijing and the Radboud University of Nijmegen. This ongoing project is sponsored by the Dutch Academy of Arts and Sciences and aims to produce an overview of all external (micro-) structures of amphipods, with D. villosus the first species being inventoried. In the first year, a thus

far unknown lock-and-key mechanism for gammaridean mating was found. A geo-sensitive organ (statocyst) was recognized for the first time in amphipods, and the lateral line organ of D. villosus was described in great detail and its function hypothesized. The sampling and identification of the groundwater amphipod Niphargus plateaui in Basse Normandie in France interfered with the intentions of a waste management company to start the exploitation of the largest waste dump of France at the borders of the departments of Eure, Orne and Calvados. The fact that the niphargid amphipods were found underneath and around the allocated site proved that the groundwater system beneath the planned waste dump site continues. The prefect of Orne has decided to give a negative advice for this activity motivated by possibility of a large scale ground-water pollution in case of leaking of toxic waste. July 2007, the 13th Amphipods Colloquium was held in Tihany, Hungary, where the results of the first year of AMPIS were presented and well received, while during the trip to Hungary the Quagga Mussel, Dreissena rostriformis bugensis (Andrusov, 1897), was found in the river Main, the first record of this organism from Germany.Saskia Marijnissen, a PhD student shared with IBED, promoted in 2007 on the thesis Lake Tanganyika Crabs, Evolution, Ecology and Implications for Conservation.

Mollusca

In both 2006 and 2007, Robert G. Moolenbeek spent considerable time in sorting sediments from two expeditions to Indonesia initiated by Naturalis, Leiden. Altogether, about 350,000 specimens were sorted. Material from a dozen families was separated for revisions, the first publications to be expected in the beginning of 2008.

Research on the marine molluscs of the West Indies, the North West Indian Ocean (Red Sea and Oman) and the family Conidae continued. Working on research programs and collection management was done with the assistance of about 20 volunteers, a third of them publishing about their research, the titles can be found in the appendix.Moolenbeek went to Thailand to collect land molluscs and marine molluscs in the Thai part of the Sunda shelf. Assistance was received from

Dr. Sumaitt Putchakarn, Burapha University and Dr. Somsak Panha, Chulalongkorn University. In 2007, he went to Cuba to contact Cuban malacologists and to collect land and marine molluscs. Moolenbeek participated in the October 2007 Santo workshop, organized by the Museum national d’Histoire naturelle, Paris, which was organized near Clermont-Ferrand.

Education

Pierrot-Bults lectured two courses in 2006 and 2007, the bachelor course Nature Conservation and the master course Limnology and Oceanography and supervised one M.Sc. student (Cephalopods).In the context of Marbef RMP, she co-organized a course in Espegrend, the marine station of the University of Bergen in Norway in June 2007. The report is available at the MARBEF website.In 2006, Van Soest coordinated two courses: the FNWI bachelor course 290 Miniscripties and the master course BS007B Coral Reef Ecosystems. He supervised two master students, doing field research in the Caribbean concerning sponge distribution in mangroves en shallow coastal habitats. He also supervised two master thesis students. In 2007, he coordinated course 290 and participated with lectures in BS007B and supervised one master thesis student.Platvoet supervised one master student was supervised in 2006, and in both 2006 and 2007 bachelor students did so-called ministages.

Outreach

Van Soest participated prominently in the 2007 VPRO documentary Bouwen als een spons (Building like a sponge) aired on national TV on several occasions in the programme series Dat willen wij ook, which is also available on DVD.Pierrot-Bults was interviewed in the radio programme Vroege Vogels, December 2007, about the Polarstern cruise.

On May 12th, 2006, honorary associate of the Mollusca department Piet van Pel received the ZMA medal Natura Peperit Scientiam.

Collections

The deep-sea material of MOUNDFORCE 2004 and BIOSYS 2005 was incorporated in the sponge collections by Elly Beglinger. All registered specimens of Foraminifera, Porifera, Cnidaria, Ctenophora, and Bryozoa are now digitalized in the new ZMA format and validated, including all Siboga specimens.

In 2006, the ZMA received the last shipments of the world-famous and taxonomically most important Kawakatsu Collection of planarian flatworms. The collection consists of about 22,500 histological glass slides and 1,400 jars with preserved specimens. Professor Masaharu Kawakatsu started his studies on triclad flatworms in 1951 and his collection continued to grow until 2004. Material was deposited in several institutions, but most of it remained in Kawakatsu’s private collection. Kawakatsu decided in 2000 to transfer his collection to the care of Dr. Ronald Sluys. The registration is currently carried out. ZMA registration numbers were assigned to the material of the Kawakatsu collection. Kawakatsu’s original KSL-catalogue numbers were registered also since these numbers are specified in his numerous publications on the collection. The database provides links between ZMA registration numbers, Kawakatsu’s KSL numbers, and his publications.

The digitization of the Crustacea collection progressed steadily. An attempt was made to digitize the old handwritten records by means of OCR software, but the results were disappointing. Therefore, records already entered in the collections database were checked and corrected if necessary, while entering missing records simultaneously. This work is in progress and will take another estimated two to three years. After this the Crustacean and Pycnogonidan collections will be fully accessible and transferable. The Siboga Expedition items of the Crustacea collection were digitized by Iduhna Buwalda, a former Reinwardt Akademie student. During sampling events in the Netherlands, Northern Ireland, Scotland, England and the Isle of Man, France and Italy a total of 230 samples of amphipods were added to the collection.

Reprint library

The reprint collections left to the ZMA by the late Sjouk Pinkster and Jan Stock were incorporated in the departmental library by Frank van Bronkhorst. This collection now forms one of the most valuable reprint collections of peracarid research in the world.

Within the Building the Database of Life project, Rykel de Bruyne, Bram van der Bijl and Inge Commandeur digitized parts of the mollusc collection. The collection Dutch Mollusca was digitalized for about 70% (19,000 records) and the entire type collection (4,501 records) was done.In 2006 about 4,000 samples and in 2007 about 4,500 samples were added to the main collection. Part of it was digitalized. Altogether in both years (11,687 and 15,484) more than 27,000 samples were digitalized.

Guests/Visiting scientists

In 2006 about 360 guests and in 2007 about 500 guests visited the section, among them the attendees of if the monthly Amsterdamse Malacologische Werkgroep meetings and NMV identification-meetings.

The polychaete collections were visited by M.N. Ben-Eliahu (Israel), R. Bastida-Zavala (Mexico) and L. Kupriyanova (Australia). In both 2006 and 2007, three foreign guests visited the Crustacea department for short visits.Apart from that, in 2006, Dr. Calum MacNeil from the Isle of Man worked for two weeks in our laboratory and also did field research, the result of which will result in two papers. In 2007, Dr. Michal Grabovsky from Lodz University, Poland for three weeks as a result of a grant of the European Synthesys Program. During his visit the Albanian gammaridean amphipods collected by him were identified and compared to type material of the Museum collection. Several new species from this very interesting country were recognized and will be described.

2.3 Vertebrates

Research Projects

In the summer of 2006, a mixed staff and students expedition to the Caribbean islands of Aruba, Curacao and Bonaire was carried out. The vertebrate section planned to survey the population size of birds of prey, flamingo’s, waterfowl, fresh and brackish water fishes, and iguanas. In collaboration with CARMABI on Curacao, and the nature protection services on Bonaire, several nature reserves where visited, as well as large urbanized, rural, coastal, and wasteland portions of the islands. Preliminary results were presented in students reports and definite conclusions are pending as publications. A paper on the status of the rare Caribbean Coot is in print.

Several master students started and finished their research projects. In the mammal department, M.Sc. Ente Rood began a project on the protection of elephants in North Sumatra that will lead to a Ph.D. promotion. In the wake of the fieldwork during

the Caribbean expedition to the two students were willing to expand the GIS plotting of fish species to the wild refuges of the Guyanas, thus revealing a pattern of high endemism in Suriname rivers. The large and historic ZMA fishes library served to collect locality data that were as yet unavailable through online internet fish databases. In 2007, students started on research projects of catfishes in Suriname, an essay on birds of prey in Indonesia, and hybridization occurrence in birds.

Guest researcher N. Yamaguchi sampled DNA from a 200-year old mounted skeleton that had been identified as the extinct Cape lion Panthera leo melanochaita (Smith, 1842), based primarily on morphological information inferred from a painting of this specimen while it was still alive. To test this hypothesis, ancient DNA (aDNA) techniques were used to extract and sequence mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) from this specimen. Results showed that

the specimen is not a Cape lion, but that it instead possesses the mtDNA haplotype of the Asiatic lions P. l. persica (Meyer, 1826) from India. This Indian origin hypothesis is further supported by an investigation of its cranial morphology. As the amount of genetic information available for lions increases, in particular data from across their historic distribution, the potential for aDNA techniques to identify the origins of previously unassigned museum specimens continues to grow. Mansour Aliabadian was involved, next to his work on the results of the Antillean expedition, in analysing over 15,000 sequences of birds for three mitochondrial genes (cytochrome c-oxidase subunit I (cox1 or COI), 16S ribosomal RNA(16S), and cytochrome b (cob)). These data were retrieved mainly from gene bank data sets, and then aligned. Furthermore he worked on the extraction of DNA , sequencing, and aligning more than 250 individuals of birds in the molecular laboratory.

Dry season survival of fresh- and brackish-water fish

Inland population of fishes in arid regions frequently

disappear through the dry season, only to restock their

former distribution ranges in wetter times by populations

that live in coastal, marine waters. These populations may

need the inland trek to meet certain requirements of their

amphidromous life cycle. Dwindling habitats will see a

deterioration of that mechanism and bring down the

species diversity in these arid regions. Processes, other than

normal seasonal droughts, that can influence the ecological

integrity of aquatic communities are the introduction of

foreign species, habitat alteration, environmental pollution,

erosion by logging, climate change etc. More so on (small)

islands than on the mainland, these processes may lead to

the extinction of fish populations. To explore the effects of

such disturbances, we studied the distribution of indigenous

fish species in the dry season in a series of small arid islands

in the Caribbean. We specifically addressed the effects of

periods of drought and rising salinity on the fish fauna, and

categorized the habitats used by these species to survive

the seasonal declines of populations. We selected the islands

of the Leeward group of the Netherlands Antilles in the

Caribbean because its aquatic biodiversity is well-known as

a result of a series of comprehensive studies. The ephemeral

nature of several inland water reservoirs on these semi-arid

islands sets barriers to a thorough inventory of species.

Levels of aqua- and agriculture and urbanization differ

among the different island, affecting occurrence of species,

and the position of the islands in relation to mainland

Venezuela has been of influence on faunal invasions during

the late-Pleistocene glaciation. This may result in differences

in the ichtyofauna on the different islands, as well as the

ability of these species assemblages to withstand human-

induced changes to their environment.

An earlier study reported on the general occurrence of

freshwater fishes on especially Curaçao, based on original

field research and on the holdings of the fish collection of

the ZMA. We furthered this study, by assessing the inland

fish species composition at the height of the dry season on

Aruba, Bonaire and Curaçao, to investigate the effects of

human-induced changes (including the introduction of

exotic fish species) on these islands’ ichtyofauna.

Kees Roselaar worked on the distribution, systematics, and speciation of Palearctic birds, in a project started in 1997, with H. Shirihai (Israel), resulting in an atlas of speciation and a guide to the taxa of birds of Europe, North Africa, and northern and central Asia. He also was involved in the assessment of biodiversity and data on macroecology of Palearctic birds. A comparison of the detailed breeding distributions of all passerine bird species of Eurasia and northern Africa is ongoing. For the Royal Netherlands Air Force (RNLAF) micro- and macroscopical identifications of remains of birds were performed, and for Dutch customs he identified endangered bird species, confiscated by the Algemene Inspectie Dienst (AID) in tourist imports.

Tineke Prins worked on the complete inventory of the birds of Aruba, Bonaire and Curaçao., with Dr J.H. Reuter (Doorwerth) and Dr A. Debrot (CARMABI). An update of K.H. Voous (1983) Birds of the Netherlands Antilles, including many additional species and a new analysis of the status of all birds is ongoing.

Annie Zuiderwijk continued her work on Dutch populations of sand lizards and grass snakes RAVON, an NGO that is housed in ZMA, produced primary data on herpetofaunal population growth in the Netherlands – or fluctuations – and coupled these to climatic change and changing terrain management.

Guests

Fred Poeser went to a conference on live bearing fishes in Mexico and organised a Suriname expedition from which he took live strands of Poecilliid fishes to continue research on population morphology and biogeography. A pilot study to DNA extraction of the new guppy species Poecilia wingei and 20 other poecillids recently started.Wim Bergmans reviewed the museum’s Monotremata which yielded some important specimens of the Western long-beaked Echidna. The marsupials entered a process of re-arrangement to fit relatively new insights on taxonomy on Order level. Collections of about 40 armadillos and 60 sloths and anteaters which once belonged to Professor Dr. Max Weber and were used by him for his studies of mammalian anatomy have been identified and registered. Studies on some South African elephant shrews in the collection and on

the taxonomy and biogeography of relatively large bat collections from Benin and Malawi have been initiated and were finished in late 2007 or early 2008.

Peter van Bree arranged DNA samples to be taken from seals from the North Sea (stored in ZMA) to accommodate research on population dynamics carried out by the University of Groningen.

A note on bird identifications for the Royal Netherlands

Air Force

Since 1960, the ZMA is involved by contract in the

identification of birds hit by airplanes of the RNLAF. These

bird hits may cause considerable damage to jets or may

even result in loss of human life. Proper identification of

the bird involved in the strike is necessary to obtain

knowledge on what species flies where, at what altitude,

what time of day, or what time of year. Once spatial and

temporal distribution is known, flying schedules may be

adapted to avoid the risk of collision. Over 3,000 birds

involved in hits have been identified by now, and all these

have been included in a database which also includes the

circumstances of the hit, the type of plane, sex and age of

the bird if still possible to establish, and the average weight

of the bird (a big bird does not necessarily cause more

damage than a small one, as damage depends also on

frontal surface of body: a Grey Heron Ardea cinerea of

800 g and 500 cm2 of frontal body surface may cause less

damage than a Swift Apus apus of 50 g with only 3 cm2 of

surface, the latter potentially penetrating through the

metal and damaging wiring etc). This database, together

with the known bird distribution in the Netherlands and

data on bird migration obtained from radar observations,

has resulted in a Bird Avoidance Model.

The forensic method used for identification is based on

characters of cell structure to be found in the basal down

of body feathering, observed with help of a light

microscope (100-1000 x enlargement). Even tiny blood

smears without apparent feathers retain some identifiable

down. Some bird strikes thus can be identified to species,

but sometimes similar down characters are shared by entire

genera or families, making identification below genus or

family level unknown. In songbirds Passeriformes, the

entire order shares the same character, and identification

within the order is impossible, apart for some large birds

like crows Corvidae, which are rarely involved in bird

strikes. Identification of all hits up to species level seems

possible with help of DNA samples only, though a

preliminary proof failed because DNA-codes of too few

species were available yet for comparison. Therefore, a

congress on identification by DNA-‘barcoding’ was

attended in April 2006, in order to discuss possibilities of

identification and the building of a referential database.

In 2006, 39 birds involved in bird strikes were identified for

RNLAF, mostly from the Netherlands but with some from

Afghanistan and Spain. This is a normal number for recent

years (range 32-69 hits for 1997-2006). In the 1970s, up to

300 hits were reported annually, but preliminary versions of

the bird avoidance model based on ZMA-data as well as

more strict flight safety rules have lowered the number

considerably. Most identifications in 2006 were rather

straightforward, but a serious accident at Volkel Airbase on

September 21st , when an F-16 crashed in forest, caused

some problems when quite large packets of engine

contents, consisting of leaves, branches, mud, humus, and

burnt feathers had to be sorted out on identifiable matters.

Some feather down was found after a long search, and this

pointed to a pigeon Columba. Further identification to

species was not possible by this down, and a DNA-analysis

of feather remains yielded no result because the feathers

had degraded too much by the flames.

ÉÉ Not all bird hits are

determinable this easily.

2.4 Biodiversity Informatics

The Department of Bioinformatics provides scientific input to all ZMA projects with respect to digitizing, managing, displaying and analyzing of biodiversity data.

Fauna Europaea

Progress was made on the long term sustain of the Fauna Europaea services. Both the production and update systems were migrated to new servers at the Computing and Networking Service (SARA) of the University of Amsterdam. The new servers run much faster on more sophisticated and stable platforms. At the same time an update was made from subversion 1.2 to subversion 1.3 showing improved expert details. Being increasingly recognized as an important EU taxonomic standard, the results of Fauna Europaea are frequently disseminated for implementation as a name index in all sorts of biological information systems.Within the context of EDIT (see below) an update of Fauna Europaea has been anticipated.

EDIT

In March 2006, the EU Network of Excellence European Distributed Institute of Taxonomy (EDIT) was launched in Paris. The ZMA leads the EDIT sub-work package on advancing the taxonomic information infrastructure. The objective is to fulfil Europe’s contribution to worldwide species list initiatives by establishing a secure organisation and management for European biodiversity information databases and repositories.A range of activities has been started, including the preparation of a working program to advance the pan-European checklists e-infrastructure, to organise and use the European expert basis and to set up a pan-European national focal points network.In addition, contributions to the set up of a ‘globally unified access system’, providing a proper information infrastructure for future unambiguous cross-linking of (taxon) name objects and their attached data types, has been made.

Global Biodiversity Information Facility

In various ways, ZMA staff was involved in the work program of GBIF. An important aspect is

ZMA’s policy to share its digital collection data with all other sister institutes through the GBIF portal. In return, ZMA research profits from the GBIF service as much larger data sets can be applied in an easy way. ZMA staff also works together with GBIF personnel in specific activities related to the EU projects mentioned below. Staff member Dr. Yde de Jong is member of the GBIF ECAT subcommittee. Faculty staff member and former director of the ZMA Wouter Los chairs the GBIF Science Committee.

NLBIF

The Dutch node of the GBIF, NLBIF provides ICT support to Dutch institutes and organizations that are willing to bring their biodiversity databases on-line and connect them to the international GBIF network. NLBIF also initiated and stimulated projects that demonstrate the use of biodiversity databases for science and society through innovative ICT technologies. NLBIF was founded, and is financed, by the UvA, the ministry of Education, Culture & Science (OCW) and the Dutch Science Foundation (NWO). An NLBIF milestone in 2006 was the connection of several large Dutch databases to the GBIF network and the continuing efforts on the ZMA collection digitalisation as part of the NWO-Groot project.

European Network for Biodiversity InformationSome final activities on ENBI, including the spreading of the project’s reports, have been carried out.

2.5 Exhibitions

The ZMA presents an ongoing series of exhibitions in Artis, the Zoo of Amsterdam. This cooperation results in about two hundred thousand visitors every year.

In 2006, Miranda Jansen assisted, on a temporary contract, in the making of ‘Nest: the self-made environment’, an exhibition on nature in town. Some animals have to cooperate in order to survive. They construct social bonds and sometimes even large communities, where specialisation and task partitioning are the core of the organisation. Humans are also social animals. The communities they form can result in large, densely populated cities. The exhibition showed this phenomenon from a biological perspective, stressing that the laws of the city and those of nature do not differ from each other.

In 2007, the Zoological Museum celebrated the 300th anniversary of the birth of the great Swedish naturalist Carl Linnaeus with the exhibition Creation in View, a Monument to Linnaeus.The exhibition is a life-sized reconstruction of his Regnum Animale, the animal kingdom, according to the first edition of the Systema Naturae from 1735. The exhibit is a snapshot of the beginning of Linnaeus’ career as systematist and a visualisation of Linnaeus’ insight in God’s Work of Creation.

The Systema Naturae extended so rapidly during Linnaeus’ lifetime that a reconstruction of the later versions of his system would only be understand-able by a study of vast natural history collections as the one of the Zoological Museum. Nevertheless, all Linnaeus’ animals from 1735 are shown in a 15 meters long and 5 meters high show-case: from midge to elephant, all coming out of ZMA’s own collection.

Accompanying, Rielka Wulff made an exhibition Creation in Artis in the smaller exhibition hall. This small historic presentation of the first years of the Society Natura Artis Magistra, showed that this Society endeavoured to ultimately present the whole creation, as Linnaeus tried to do.

3.1 National Cooperation

Building the Database of Life

In 2005, the national science foundation NWO granted the ZMA together with the other NL-TAF partners, i.e. Centraalbureau voor Schimmelcultures (CBS), Nationaal Herbarium Nederland (NHN) and Naturalis €2,350,000 for the project called “Building the databases of life’. This grant enabled the ZMA to employ, from 2005 till the end of 2007, 8 fte temporary staff members to digitize collection data.The organisation of this project consisted of a management team (dr. S.A. Ulenberg – ZMA (chair), prof. dr. P. Baas and prof. dr. E. Smets – NHN, dr. R. Dekker – Naturalis, dr. J. Stalpers – CBS, dr. C. Hof – NL-BIF, dr. H. ten Hove (secretary). To harmonize the structure of the databases and validation of the data the database managers came together regularly, chaired by dr. J. Stalpers of the CBS. Lots of effort was given to issues related to web access to the data, like Intellectual Property Rights and sensitive data.By the end of 2006, the project resulted in the digitization of the following collection items and respective number of specimens:

The preparation of the Nederlands Centrum voor Biodiversiteit (Netherlands Centre for Biodiversity, NCB), the merger of the ZMA, the Nationaal Herbarium Nederland and the Nationaal Natuur-historisch Museum Naturalis, proceeded forcefully under the leadership of prof. dr. P. Tindemans. Three major documents were published and presented to the Ministry of Education, Culture and Science:n Nederlands Centrum voor Biodiversiteitonderzoek,

3.2 International Cooperation

Synthesys access

During 2006, Calls 4 and 5 of Synthesys-Access, the EU funded program covering research and living costs for scientific visits to collections and facilities. In the 4th Call NL-TAF received 33 applications, 2 of which involved the ZMA. Eventually the User Selection Panel (USP) selected 13 projects, unfortu-nately none for the ZMA. In Call 5 these figures were 30, 13 and 16, 7 respectively. From 29-30 January 2007 the ZMA hosted the Fourth Synthesys Annual Meeting. In April 2007, Dr. Sluys took over the NL-TAF coordination of Synthesys-Access from Dr. Ten Hove. In Call 6, NL-TAF received 37 applications (6 ZMA) and granted 20 (2 ZMA); in Call 7, it were 26 applications (4 ZMA), funding 22 (3 ZMA). In this call, NL-TAF performed best among all European institutions. During this period, Sluys was also involved in the successful Synthesys-2 bid for EU FPVII.

3.3 Personnel

December 2006 signalized the end of the bulk of the NWO-Groot project. Out of the ten temporary employees for this project, the ZMA was lucky enough to contract two on a more permanent basis: Bram van der Bijl, to strengthen the Molluscs department and Wendy van Bohemen, to infuse Vertebrates. Johan Mols, the datamanager so wisely shared with the National Herbarium continued to work on ZMA’s databases until the first half of 2007 and for a period was joined by Henk Visser. Towards the end of 2007, Jeroen Creuwels was appointed as the new ZMA datamanager. Temporary staff on external funding in 2007, were Louis Boumans (EDIT) and Pasquale Ciliberti at Entomology. No changes occurred in our Pantar employees, the same ten persons providing 25% of the ZMA head count in both 2006 and 2007.2006 saw no retirements and 2007 only one: Dr. Harry ten Hove, after almost more than 40 years in the field. After 17 years of dutiful service, head of secretary, Tonnie Dunselman, switched to another part of the UvA and Selda Dankerlui, coming from the Faculty headquarters, stepped in.Coming up through ZMA’s own ranks, Dr. Ronald Vonk took over as Head of the Vertebrate section in November 2007, Dr. Vincent Nijman accepting an Associate Professor position at Oxford. As Dr.

Vonk was already fully employed by the ZMA, this meant post-doc Mansour Aliabadian’s contract could be renewed and extended. Where as 2006 had none, 2007 saw a mass influx of trainee’s from all kinds of educational corners. Riëlka Wulff, Museum studies UvA, made an exhibition. Susanna Buwalda, Nathalie Bulsing and Kirsten Sweers, second year Reinwardt Academy students did a 10-week project each. Tahir Mercimek, Derrick Conrad Mensah and Zanura Zain, first year ROC students, all digitized collection parts for two months.Andreas Vlasman, who got acquainted to the museum through a reintegration program, joined the ranks of our volunteers, as did trainee Kirsten Sweers.

Special mention is due for our receptionists, Diny Poelstra, Erik Goezinne and André Walgreen. Although not on ZMA’s payroll, they always provide, and volunteer, essential services and support, in such a generous way that they have become considered as ZMA staff as well.

3.4 Housing and Finances

The services of the UvA underwent major changes in 2006: standardization, automation and centralization. For the facility management this meant a real improvement. Especially the day-to-day maintenance of the ZMA buildings got done quicker and better. Some dire situations that had worsened for years finally got repaired. Also, the standardized renewal of computers was welcomed.On the financial side, the story is different. Due to the non-availability of financial reports, there was no insight in the museum’s position, resulting in very conservative spending. The upside of this are the positive results in both 2006 and 2007, the downside that vacancies were not filled out of insecurity whether it was possible to do so.
