Full description
This collection is a set of images of specimens held at the Australian National Wildlife Collection (ANWC).The ANWC is the official Commonwealth collection of Australia's land vertebrates and covers birds, mammals, reptiles and amphibians. The collection comprises over 140,000 specimens, 60,000 wildlife sound recordings, 50,000 tissue samples and egg collections from more than 800 bird species.
This collection of specimen images is restricted due to one of more of the following reasons:
- rare or threatened status;
- biosecurity implications;
- cultural sensitivity;
- specimen donation stipulations.
Individuals or organisations with a legitimate research use of these images can request access to the images.
Lineage: This dataset is one of a series holding images from the Australian National Wildlife 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, it is not a comprehensive list of all the specimens available in a taxon.
As 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.
