Dataset Description

University of Alaska Museum (UAM) Bird specimens (Arctos) for GGBN
Description	With emphasis on the birds of northwesternmost North America, including taxa endemic to Beringia and the circumpolar North, the Bird Collection is the best in existence of avian material from Alaska. Almost all bird species and subspecies known in Alaska are represented and are preserved primarily as skins, skeletons, and tissues. The collection consists of over 30,000 birds. Most recent preparations include skin, partial skeleton, tissue, and stomach samples for each individual. Tissues are part of the Genomic Resources Collection. Specimens are regularly loaned for scientific research. Specimen loan policies and a summary database are available for interested researchers. Taxonomy: Most recent orders of birds, constituting ~140 families, ~800 genera and nearly 2,000 species. We hold specimen material for over 90% of the 619 species and subspecies of birds known to occur in Alaska. Geography: Global in extent with strongest representation coming from Alaska and places where migratory Alaska birds winter.
