Dataset Description

University of Alaska Museum (UAM) Insect specimens (Arctos) for GGBN
Description	The UAM Insect collection is the northern-most facility of its kind in the United States. 98.5% of our records are from Alaska. Although a young collection (begun in 2000), we have recently surpassed 280,000 records representing over 1.8 million specimens (as of Jan 2018), making this collection among the top ten largest in the US in entomology based on data served to iDigBio. Over 99% of these records have been georeferenced. Over 75% of the pinned collection has been databased; approximately 10% of the wet collection has been databased. At least one specimen of every lowest identification, in both the pinned and wet collections, has been databased so we have a complete online taxon inventory of the collection. 161,627 specimens have been identified to the species level - these represent 3,264 species. Coleoptera, Araneae, Odonata, and Hymenoptera are the most well-curated groups. 70,634 of these specimen records have been cited or otherwise used in 64 peer-reviewed publications.
