Description

This dataset contains bird eggs from the National Museum and Art Gallery of Trinidad and Tobago. The collection is composed of 823 clutches of eggs identified to the level of either species or subspecies. In 2014, the National Museum and Art Gallery of Trinidad & Tobago transferred their off-display natural history specimens to the UWIZM. As a result, these specimens are all stored in the Zoology Room of the UWIZM. The contents of each egg have been removed via a small hole, leaving the preserved and (in most cases) complete eggshell. Little is known about the origins of this collection, but it seems possible that many of the eggs were collected by Sir Charles Belcher & G. D. Smooker and connected to their 1936 publication "Birds of the Colony of Trinidad and Tobago".

Données sur le projet

Trinidad and Tobago supports a rich biodiversity, largely thanks to its geographical position as a pair of Caribbean islands situated just 11 km off the coast of South America. However, as a small island developing state, it faces numerous pressures of human development on biodiversity and habitat integrity. Well-functioning natural history collections are key in documenting, monitoring and managing this biodiversity. The project team is keen to build on the progress established during a previous BID regional project, which allowed the University of the West Indies Zoology Museum (UWIZM) to publish more than 21,000 records to GBIF and train a range of stakeholders. This project will mobilize data from the remainder of the UWIZM collection (including an extensive and agriculturally important land arthropod collection containing 45,000 specimens) while forging partnerships with two other national institutions with significant collections. The combined collections of the UWIZM, the National Herbarium of Trinidad and Tobago (NH) and the National Museum and Art Gallery of Trinidad and Tobago (NMAG) hold more than 100,000 specimens. Each of the three collections will hold greater value if they are available in a consistent format from a single source. This project aims to fill data gaps by digitizing these collections. These datasets will be published on GBIF, making them easily accessible to policy-makers and other stakeholders.

Méthodes d'échantillonnage

Specimens were collected by hand, and were brought to the National Museum and Art Gallery of Trinidad and Tobago.

Etendue de l'étude Trinidad and Tobago
Contrôle qualité Specimen identifications were checked by UWIZM.

Description des étapes de la méthode:

  1. 1. Specimens in the collection were assessed for existing data (labels, notes on the shell, details in registers, etc) 2. Identifications were confirmed or made using a variety of literature sources (scientific papers, books, online resources) 3. Specimens were photographed and properly stored, then the data was uploaded to the UWIZM Past Perfect database.
