UM’s world-renowned zoological museum boasts 22K animal specimens! Everything from toucans to shrews. The hardest workers in the house are a carcass-cleaning crew of Dermestid beetles, known to strip a skull to the bone in just a few days.

New 'treeview' of the Mammalia taxonomy on the Mammal Diversity Database (MDD) -- now allows for examining adjacent species pages: https://t.co/hMyMHHRy8U (reload)

Also compare current MDD (v1.11, Apr 2023) to Mammal Species of the World 3rd ed (MSW3, 2005) in the same view.

Dylan’s monumental task is to digitize the Academy’s collection of 141k+ bees for the #BigBee project — & it’s super easy for you to help by transcribing specimen labels. (It’s oddly satisfying.) This #WorldBeeDay, HELP DYLAN (& the bees): https://t.co/kXd47Qb0Xq
