The U.S. National Science Foundation and iDigBio are required to collect information on use of digitized collections-based specimen data. Please help us meet this requirement every time you use this search portal. Sustainability of the national digitization effort depends on evidence of data use! Maybe later.

UTEP Birds (Arctos)

Specimen Records: 3,380
Media Records: 593
iDigBio Last Ingested Date: 2025-04-18

The University of Texas at El Paso Biodiversity Collections Bird material with reliable locality data is mostly from the United States, but there is also a significant component of exotic or native taxa with inadequate collection data. The collections include skeletal material along with the traditional skin-skull/study skin specimens.
