Labs and Organizations

This is a list of those who have made significant use of mx.

• The Hymenoptera Anatomy Ontology (HAO)
  • Includes the publicly accessible glossary
  • NSF funded ABI

• The North Carolina State Insect Museum
  • Inventory, specimen handling (coming 2010)

• The Wharton Lab
  • Lab images, matrices, taxon pages, references, taxonomic catalogs, host-parasite databases
  • diapriid.org, PEET Ichneumonoidea

• Andy Deans Lab
  • Comprehensive data handling for a broad range of systematics related data

• John Heraty's Lab
  • Chalcidoid super matrix for HymATOL, over 400 illustrated characters by 80 taxa, lab matrices

• The American Entomological Institute
  • Keys, news, image management.

• Evanioidea Online
  • Taxonomic catalog for all of Evanioidea, keys, taxon pages, specimens.

• The HISL Lab
  • Taxonomic catalog for all xyleborine species (Curculionidae: Scolytinae). This relational database currently contains all 1,288 valid taxa and 469 synonyms, 5,000 locality and host entries and 19,000 citations. It surpasses the bounded catalog (Wood & Bright 1992) with the integration of bibliographical information for each taxonomic entry. Full references are given for 97% of the citations. It is easily updated, revised and accessible to those interested in scolytine taxonomy, pest species, and biodiversity studies.
  • A literature database of scolytine of approximately 27,000 references spanning the 1700?s to 2000. This database includes most of the literature contained in Wood (1987), Wood & Bright (1992), and Bright & Skidmore (1997, 2002).
  • Electronic Monograph of Camptocerus. ~200 images, ~60 characters, label data for ~100 specimens, ~100 references, and a key to four species. Upon completion the monograph will address 45 OTUs, contain label data for ~500 specimens and display ~32 species pages. Approximate data of completion January 1, 2010.

• Matt Wallace and Lew Dietz
  • Multi-entry key for Leafhoppers. Taxonomic catalog.

• Brian Wiegman Lab (Isaac Winkler)
  • Systematics of Empididae

• François Michonneau
  • Systematics of Sea Cucumbers
