Invertebrates

Specimens in a project that uses the Invertebrate zoology catalog format show the invertebrate form. Sex and life stage work the same way in every taxon group; see Measurements.

Caution

Invertebrate zoology support is in beta. Check exports against your collection's requirements before relying on them.

Measurements

The ecological-interaction section is visible by default. Use Show specimen morphometrics to reveal or hide the measurement fields; saved morphometric values automatically reopen that section.

• Sex: select from the configured specimen-sex vocabulary.
• Life stage: select from the configured life-stage vocabulary.
• Caste: the caste of a social insect, when applicable.
• Ecological interactions: Host organism and Host part.
• Optional morphometrics: Head width (mm), Body length (mm), Upper wingspan (mm), and Lower wingspan (mm).
• Remarks: additional ecological or specimen notes.

Environmental conditions

Environmental conditions are not specimen attributes. Record canopy cover on the site under Site Attributes, and temperature, humidity, pH, dissolved oxygen, and flow velocity on the collecting event's environmental data.

Parts and parasites

Invertebrate catalogs do not show parasite-detection fields or the parasite tab.
