The Macroalgal Herbarium Consortium ACCESSING 150 YEARS OF SPECIMEN DATA TO UNDERSTAND CHANGES IN THE MARINE/AQUATIC ENVIRONMENT

What are Macroalgae? Rhodophyta (Red Algae) - 6,300 species in 10 orders Chlorophyta (Green Algae) - 4,300 species in 15 orders Charophyta - 3,500 species in 8 orders Phaeophyta (Brown Algae) - 2,000 species in 18 orders

What are Macroalgae? Eukaryota Tree of Life (Bauldauf 2003)

Why Are They Important?  Foundation of aquatic ecosystems – provide food, shelter and substrate for other organisms  Maintain nutrient balance in aquatic ecosystem and produce oxygen  $7.4 billion industry as human food, phycocolloids, pharmaceuticals  Sensitive indicator of environmental changes in aquatic ecosystems

What is a Herbarium?  A collection of dried specimens, most are pressed on sheets of acid- free paper and organized systematically in folders in cabinets.  Each specimen has a catalog number and a label that documents what it is, when and where it was collect, and by whom.  Specimens and label data are used to study  Taxonomy & Systematics  Biogeography  Climate Change  Invasive Species  Ecological Disturbances

Where Are The Herbaria with Macroalgae Collections? 50 Collections 37 Universities 4 Marine Labs 3 Botanical Gardens 6 Museums 1.1 Million Specimen 40% < 50 years old 50% years old 10% >100 years old 90% Marine or Estuarine

How Are They Being Digitized?  Barcoding and Skeletal Record Creation in Excel

How Are They Being Digitized?  Imaging  Lightbox/copystand  21 to 36 megapixel camera  Camera Control Software  Adobe Lightroom (white balance, tone curve adjustment, jpg & dng export)

How Are They Being Digitized?  Label Transcription in Symbiota Portal (Macroalgae.org)  Manual/semi-automated entry (barcode, filed-as name, country, state, county)  Voice recognition (collector(s), collection date, accession number, locality  Optical character recognition (locality)

How Are They Being Digitized?  Label Transcription in Symbiota Portal  Manual/semi-automated entry (barcode, filed-as name, country, state, county)  Voice recognition (collector(s), collection date, accession number, locality  Optical character recognition (locality)

How Are They Being Digitized?  Georeferencing (from Symbiota Portal)

What is the Progress to Date?

How Is The Data Being Disseminated?  Macroalgae.org specimen data portal (Symbiota)
