Quaternary and Recent Mediterranean and North Atlantic Bryozoans

Description :

 This site displays the diversity of Quaternary and Recent bryozoans kept in the MNCN (Museo Nacional de Ciencias Naturales, National Museum of Natural Sciences of Madrid). It has been created thanks to Synthesys Virtual Access (VA) Call 2, 2021, for the international project Bryozoa Identification Tool (BIT) for Quaternary and Recent Mediterranean and North Atlantic Bryozoans.

Title : Synthesys Virtual Access Call 2021, for the international project Bryozoa Identification Tool (BIT) for Quaternary and Recent Mediterranean and North Atlantic Bryozoans
Abstract : This Project aims to record, on a worldwide map with SEM photographs, all the Quaternary and Mediterranean and North Atlantic Recent bryozoan taxa kept in museums which are participants of the Synthesys Scheme in order to help with bryozoan taxonomic identification. For this, all the specimens are georeferenced and a type specimen or the best specimen of each species has been scanned under scanning electron microscope (SEM). This information is displayed through the own museums’ websites with links to their associated partners on this project (see below participants) and the GBIF Website as well. This project contributes with more than 50 bryozoan taxa not recorded on any Website. It is 3.4% of the current identified taxa from Quaternary and Mediterranean and North Atlantic recent bryozoan taxa.
