Our mission, should we choose to accept it, is to discover and document all remaining Australian species of plants, animals, fungi and other organisms ... in a generation.
How on Earth are we going to do this?
Roundtable 10: Collections
Session 2
Shelley James
Leader(s):
There will be many implications of an accelerated species discovery mission for biodiversity collections - think of all the extra specimens collected in the field, loans and exchanges, management of DNA vouchers, samples and sequences, and management of collection databases and information systems. This roundtable will explore these issues, including:
How will collections cope with a significantly expanded role and workload?
Could some aspects of current collections practices become more efficient? If so, which, and how?
What will a collection even look like in 20 years time?
