UF Invertebrate Zoology

The UF Invertebrate collection holds ~580,000 databased lots of mollusks and marine invertebrates. It began as a Malacology collection almost 100 years ago and the collection is particularly strong in non-marine mollusks. Approximately ~85% of the holdings are mollusks but since 2000 the collection was expanded to cover all invertebrate phyla, focusing on marine taxa. Today it holds >40,000 species from 28 phyla.

UF无脊椎动物标本馆藏现存约58万条已录入数据库的软体动物与海洋无脊椎动物标本批次。该馆藏最初于近百年前以软体动物学标本库为基础建立，尤以非海洋软体动物类标本见长。目前馆藏中约85%为软体动物标本，但自2000年起，馆藏范围拓展至覆盖所有无脊椎动物门类，重点聚焦海洋类群。如今该馆藏已收录来自28个门类的4万余种物种。
