Australian National Insect Collection Images - 70264

This collection is a set of images of specimens held at the Australian National Insect Collection (ANIC). The ANIC is a critical and authoritative resource for systematics, evolutionary biology, ecology, natural resource management, biosecurity and biogeography. It is the world's largest collection of Australian insects and other invertebrates such as mites, spiders, nematodes and centipedes, housing over 12 million specimens.\n\nThe Australian National Insect Collection is used by Australian and international researchers, industry, government and university students. It grows by more than 100,000 specimens each year.\n\n Significant funding for ANIC curation and research activities has been provided by:\n\n - Australian Biological Resources Study\n - Department of Agriculture, Fisheries and Forestry\n - The Grains Research and Development Corporation.\n\nThe Elwood and Hannah Zimmerman Research Fund Trust and the Schlinger Foundation have created endowments for ANIC that support research in weevils (Curculionoidea) and flies (Diptera) respectively. The Australian Lepidoptera Research Endowment also supports the ANIC by funding projects that enhance the curation of the Lepidoptera collection.\nLineage: This dataset is one of a series holding images from the Australian National Insect Collection. These images were taken through ongoing imaging of the physical specimen collection, and this grouping of images is arbitrary based on the time period the images were taken or the type status of the specimens, it is not a comprehensive list of all the specimens available in a taxon.\n\nAs such, this dataset may not include all images from a particular taxon and we recommend the specimen image file search which can be used to search across the image datasets to find all images from a specific taxon.

本数据集收录了澳大利亚国家昆虫标本馆（Australian National Insect Collection, ANIC）所藏标本的图像集合。ANIC是系统学、进化生物学、生态学、自然资源管理、生物安全及生物地理学领域至关重要的权威资源。它是全球最大的澳大利亚昆虫及其他无脊椎动物（如螨虫、蜘蛛、线虫和蜈蚣）收藏机构，馆藏标本逾1200万件。

澳大利亚国家昆虫标本馆为澳大利亚及国际研究人员、产业界、政府部门和高校学生所使用，每年新增标本超10万件。

ANIC的标本整理与研究活动获得了以下机构的重要资助：

- 澳大利亚生物资源研究中心（Australian Biological Resources Study）
- 农业、渔业与林业部（Department of Agriculture, Fisheries and Forestry）
- 谷物研究与发展公司（The Grains Research and Development Corporation）

埃尔伍德与汉娜·齐默尔曼研究基金信托（Elwood and Hannah Zimmerman Research Fund Trust）及施林格基金会（Schlinger Foundation）分别为ANIC设立了捐赠基金，支持象鼻虫（Curculionoidea）和蝇类（Diptera）研究；澳大利亚鳞翅目研究捐赠基金（Australian Lepidoptera Research Endowment）亦通过资助提升鳞翅目标本整理水平的项目为ANIC提供支持。
Lineage：本数据集是ANIC图像系列数据集之一，其图像源自对实体标本的持续成像工作。该图像分组基于拍摄时间或标本类型状态随机划分，并非某一分类单元（taxon）下所有可用标本的完整清单。

因此，本数据集可能未涵盖某一分类单元的所有图像，建议使用标本图像文件检索功能跨数据集查找特定分类单元的全部图像。
