Australian National Insect Collection Images - 71572

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.

本数据集为澳大利亚国家昆虫标本馆（Australian National Insect Collection, ANIC）所藏标本的图像合集。澳大利亚国家昆虫标本馆是分类系统学、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的关键权威资源，亦是全球规模最大的澳大利亚本土昆虫及螨类、蜘蛛、线虫、蜈蚣等无脊椎动物标本馆藏机构，馆藏标本总量逾1200万份。

澳大利亚国家昆虫标本馆面向澳大利亚及国际研究者、行业机构、政府部门与高校学生开放，每年新增馆藏标本超10万份。

ANIC的标本整理与研究工作获得了以下机构的重要经费支持：
- 澳大利亚生物资源研究项目（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会（Elwood and Hannah Zimmerman Research Fund Trust）及斯林格基金会（Schlinger Foundation）分别为ANIC设立专项捐赠基金，前者用于支持象甲总科（Curculionoidea）类群的研究，后者则用于支持双翅目（Diptera）昆虫的相关研究。澳大利亚鳞翅目研究捐赠基金亦通过资助旨在完善鳞翅目（Lepidoptera）标本馆藏整理的相关项目，为ANIC提供支持。

数据集说明：本数据集为澳大利亚国家昆虫标本馆图像馆藏系列的组成部分之一。所有图像均来源于对实体标本馆藏的持续性成像工作，本次图像集的分组仅依据图像拍摄时段或标本的模式标本类型，并非某一分类群全部馆藏标本的完整列表。

有鉴于此，本数据集可能未涵盖某一特定分类群的全部图像。建议使用标本图像文件检索工具，该工具可跨所有图像数据集进行搜索，以获取特定分类群的所有相关图像。
