The Macroalgal Herbarium Consortium Accessing 150 Years of Specimen Data to Understand Changes in the Marine/Aquatic Environment Janet Sullivan and Chris Neefus University of New Hampshire Consortium of Northeastern Herbaria meeting Montréal, June 2014

Eukaryota Tree of Life (Bauldauf 2003) four divisions in two kingdoms 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

How 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 Photographs by Robert Lücking

What is the Macroalgal Herbarium Consortium? 49 institutions in 26 states and U.S. possessions 1.2 million specimens in collections ranging from 100 to 200,000 Project goal is to digitize (image, database, georeference) all of them

Macroalgal Consortium Herbaria Red = 6 PDCs Yellow = 12 DCs Blue = 31 CIs

Workflow – Step 1 Any pre-digitization curation Barcode placement Step 1 – Any pre- digitization curation accomplished Step 2 – Specimen is barcoded and skeletal label data captured in an Excel file (or.csv) Step 3 - High resolution image captured Step 4 - Image and label data uploaded to MHC Portal Step 5 – Additional label data transcribed from within the portal Step 6 – Specimens georeferenced from within the portal

Step 1 – Any pre-digitization curation accomplished Step 2 – Specimen is barcoded and skeletal label data captured in an Excel file (or.csv) Step 3 - High resolution image captured Step 4 - Image and label data uploaded to MHC Portal Step 5 – Additional label data transcribed from within the portal Step 6 – Specimens georeferenced from within the portal Workflow – Step 2 Skeletal label data captured in Excel or.csv file

Workflow – Step 3 High-Resolution Image Captured Lightbox/copystand 21 to 36 megapixel camera Camera Control Software Adobe Lightroom (white balance, tone curve adjustment,.jpg &.dng export)

Workflow – Step 4 Image and label data uploaded to portal (

Family classifications and authors from AlgaeBase via WoRMS

Additional label data transcribed from within the portal Workflow – Step 5

Workflow – Step 6 Specimens are georeferenced from within the portal
