Resources

ARCTOS is an ongoing effort to integrate access to specimen data, collection-management tools, and external resources on the Web. Nearly all that is known about a specimen can be included in ARCTOS, and, except for some data encumbered for proprietary reasons, data are open to the public.

ARCTOS includes collections at the University of Alaska Museum of the North, the University of New Mexico's Museum of Southwestern Biology, Western New Mexico State University, and the Museum of Vertebrate Zoology. A second server at the Harvard Museum of Comparative Zoology hosts MCZ's Herp collection, with more collections coming soon.

There is a growing wealth of published information directly and indirectly related to ISLES and its initiatives.
