Descripción

The Zoological Museum of the University of Athens (ZMUA) was established in 1858. It is the oldest natural history museum of Greece. The museum began its operation with the acquisition of a core collection and has been expanding ever since. One of the most substantial parts of the museum's collection consists of the avian exhibits, originating from around the world.

Today, the avian collection consists of 2,948 specimens, preserved mostly through taxidermy, along with a significant number of eggs. The birds have been collected from around the world. A substantial part of the collection consists of individuals originating from Greece, Brazil, Canada and Australia. Having this valuable source of biogeographic information and a potential reserve of historical genetic diversity, ZMUA presents here the contents of the avian collection.

Cobertura geográfica

The avian specimens deposited in the ZMUA collection have worldwide origin. Particularly, the exhibits’ origin is from 214 different localities that belong to 52 countries in all continents. Most of them were collected from Greece (34%), while the second largest collection comes from Brazil (23%). Furthermore, a substantial part of the collection comes from Canada (9%) and Australia (7%) (Fig. 2). Specimens originating from Greece were collected from 53 different localities. Most of the birds come from Attica (79%) where the Museum is situated, followed by Mount Taygetos in Peloponnese (5%) and Mount Olympus in Macedonia (3%).

Métodos de muestreo

Specimens deposited in the ZMUA collection are the result of collections made by the staff of the museum, donations and fortuitous findings. Therefore, no specific sampling protocol has been followed. Ιf in a certain sampling expedition a protocol was followed then this information is not available. Specimens are basically preserved through taxidermy. Newer deposits are stored in frozen condition.

Control de Calidad	Before deposition to the museum collection, associated information of the specimens has being sought. However, owing to frequent relocations of the Zoological Museum of the University of Athens and several misfortunate events, some of the exhibits and the relevant meta-data have been lost. All preserved information has been curated according to Chapman (2005). Scientific names have been updated following the Integrated Taxonomic Information System (ITIS) taxonomy. None of the data connected to the specimens contained coordinates. Therefore, all locations were manually georeferenced, based on the locality names, description and dates, following georeferencing guidelines by Chapman and Wieczorek (2006).
