The Connecticut Botanical Society Herbarium houses over 36,000 sheets of plants, and records the changing distribution of the Connecticut flora. The CBS Herbarium is housed in the same facility as the Yale University Herbarium.
The Connecticut Botanical Society is a group of amateur and professional botanists who share an interest in the plants and habitats of Connecticut and the surrounding region. The society was founded in 1903. Our goals are to increase knowledge of the state's flora, to accumulate a permanent botanical record, and to promote conservation and public awareness of the state's rich natural heritage.

The collection was established by Dr. John S. Stephens in 1960. Stephens and his mentee, Dr. Dan Pondella, the current VRG Director, worked together on rocky-reef fishes of the eastern Pacific. Stephens described the family of Chaenopsidae and Pondella specialized in phylogenetic systematics of bass and groupers. The vast majority of the collection’s specimens are from the Southern California Bight and together encompass the full spatial extent of the southern California rocky reef ecosystem. Taxonomic strengths of the collection, excluding larvae specimens, include Sciaenidae (13,765), Atherinopsidae (3,199), Sebastidae (1,740), Embiotocidae (1,628), and Serranidae (837). Most of the larvae specimens were collected as part of an ongoing study and represent over 45 years of monthly collections—this is one of the largest and longest time-series collections of nearshore fish larvae in the region. Taxonomic strengths of this larvae collection include Gobiidae (166,507), Blenniidae (130,666), Pomacentridae (83,558), and Labrisomidae (52,767).","logo":"https://www.oxy.edu/sites/default/files/vrg-logo.png","url":"https://www.oxy.edu/academics/vantuna-research-group","emllink":"http://ipt.vertnet.org:8080/ipt/eml.do?r=mlz_fish","archivelink":"http://ipt.vertnet.org:8080/ipt/archive.do?r=mlz_fish","contacts":[{"first_name":"Zoe","last_name":"Scholz","role":"Research Assistant","email":"zscholz@oxy.edu"},{"first_name":"Zoe","last_name":"Scholz","role":"Research Assistant","email":"zscholz@oxy.edu"},{"first_name":"David","last_name":"Bloom","role":"VertNet Coordinator","email":"dbloom@vertnet.org"},{"first_name":"John","last_name":"Wieczorek","role":"Information Architect","email":"tuco@berkeley.edu"},{"first_name":"Daniel","last_name":"Pondella","role":"Director","email":"pondella@oxy.edu"},{"first_name":"Chelsea","last_name":"Williams","role":"Research Associate","email":"cmunoz@oxy.edu"},{"first_name":"Jonathan","last_name":"Williams","role":"Research Scientist","email":"jonwilliams@oxy.edu"},{"first_name":"Dusty","last_name":"McDonald","role":"Lead Programmer"},{"first_name":"Zoe","last_name":"Scholz","role":"Research Assistant","email":"zscholz@oxy.edu"}],"data_rights":"CC0","publisher":"842a2bb5-d705-4d6c-8401-abf3ca28c05d","totalCount":32914,"hitRatio":1},{"uuid":"ad3198a5-3e39-4dd9-9d87-755a11b8e8fa","itemCount":32747,"name":"SP-Fungi - Maria Eneyda Pacheco Kauffmann Fidalgo","description":"A Coleção de Fungos do Herbário SP possui cerca de 45.000 exemplares e cerca de 400 espécimes-tipo, a maioria pertencente ao grupo dos basidiomicetos e fungos liquenizados, principalmente do estado de São Paulo.","logo":"http://ipt1.cria.org.br/ipt/logo.do?r=sp-fungi","url":"https://specieslink.net/col/398","emllink":"https://ipt1.cria.org.br/ipt/eml.do?r=sp-fungi","archivelink":"https://ipt1.cria.org.br/ipt/archive.do?r=sp-fungi","contacts":[{"first_name":"Adriana","last_name":"de Mello Gugliotta","role":"Curador","email":"agugliotta@ibot.sp.gov.br"},{"first_name":"Adriana","last_name":"de Mello Gugliotta","role":"Curador","email":"agugliotta@ibot.sp.gov.br"},{"last_name":"speciesLink Network","role":"Network","email":"helpdesk@cria.org.br"},{"first_name":"Adriana","last_name":"de Mello Gugliotta","role":"Curador","email":"agugliotta@ibot.sp.gov.br"}],"data_rights":"CC4 BY-NC","publisher":"96fbcd9e-3c30-41be-865e-7c92fce1bb55","totalCount":32747,"hitRatio":1},{"uuid":"9368e302-f8e7-4714-aed4-db2faa861e5c","itemCount":32627,"name":"Lichen Collection, University of Washington Herbarium","description":"The herbarium's total holdings number over 600,000 specimens of vascular and nonvascular plants, fungi, lichens, and marine algae.

About nine-tenths of the accessioned collection, or 31,500 specimens, is from California, with the remaining tenth from other states and countries. We estimate that half of the California collections are from high Sierra Nevada ecosystems (above 7000 feet), as this was Quibell’s focal collecting area. The other half of the collection represents the San Joaquin Valley itself, including riverine ecosystems, vernal pools, and agricultural ecosystems; the western Diablo Range region between Panoche and Coalinga; and the eastern slope of the Sierra Nevada, including the northern extent of the Mojave Desert. There is no particular taxonomic speciality among vascular plants, and only about ~100 of the specimens are federally or state listed as rare, threatened, or endangered (representing 29 taxa). Collectors who frequently contributed to the FSC collection: Charles H. Quibell (founder of the herbarium in 1925 and Fresno State biology professor); John \"Jack\" Springer, a USFS employee whose private herbarium of 1930s California grass collections was donated to FSC; Rimo C. Bacigalupi, first curator of the Jepson Herbarium, with collections from the 1950s and 1960s; Philip A. Munz from Rancho Santa Ana Botanic Garden and Pomona College, who collected in the 1920s-1950s and provided many of the FSC specimen determinations for specimens collected by Charles H.

Lamentablemente, es también escenario de complejos problemas ambientales y sociales, lo que se ha manifestado en la vulnerabilidad de su ecosistema y en la permanencia de algunas de sus especies vegetales y animales. Una vía para implementar estrategias encaminadas a su conservación es conocer su riqueza florística, sin embargo, así como otras regiones de México, los inventarios de flora están incompletos, se presentan en zonas puntuales o simplemente son inexistentes. En base a lo anterior se plantea llevar a cabo el inventario florístico de los cerros San Martín y el Patol, ubicados en el semidesierto Queretano. Ambos se encuentran flanqueados por los pueblos de Bernal, Cadereyta, Colón y San Pablo. Con este trabajo se pretende obtener una colección de ejemplares de herbario y una base de datos con mínimo 2000 colectas, así como un mínimo de 500 fotografías, las cuales representarán alrededor de 200 especies de Anthophytas. Los especímenes serán depositados en el herbario QMEX de la Universidad Autónoma de Querétaro; además, sus duplicados serán enviados a los herbarios IEB y MEXU. Con este proyecto se pretende contribuir al conocimiento florístico de la región.

Los principales grupos zoológicos considerados son Annelida (Polychaeta, Oligochaeta), Crustacea (Malacostraca), Mollusca (Bivalvia, Gastropoda, Polyplacophora) y Echinodermata (Ophiuroidea, Echinoidea, Holothuroidea), aunque otros grupos podrán ser incorporados en caso de ser registrados. El objetivo del estudio es crear una base de datos sobre el inventario faunístico del área focal propuesta, así como establecer las bases de un sistema de monitoreo sobre los cambios espaciales y temporales de alguna o algunas especies conspicuas o importantes desde el punto estructural y/o funcional para el ecosistema estudiado. La relevancia del proyecto radica en que este sector del litoral es uno de los más densamente poblados y expuestos a estrés ambiental en el Estado, por lo que en él el riesgo de deterioro y pérdida de viabilidad de las poblaciones marinas que lo habitan es mayor, particularmente en su sector somero. La consecuencia previsible de ello es la interrupción en el flujo de especies y organismos a lo largo del litoral (corredor), con la consiguiente pérdida de diversidad local y regional. En la zona infralitoral las muestras se colectarán mediante un dispositivo hidroneumático de succión por impulso de aire comprimido. Los ejemplares colectados serán incorporados a la colección \"Invertebrados Bentónicos de Yucatán\", integrante del repertorio de colecciones biológicas mexicanas de la CONABIO. La duración del estudio será de 24 meses.
