The Extended Specimen highlights the research potential for ornithological specimens, and is meant to encourage ornithologists
poised to initiate a renaissance in collections-based ornithological research. Contributors illustrate how collections and
specimens are used in novel ways by adopting emerging new technologies and analytical techniques. Case studies use museum
specimens and emerging and non-traditional types of specimens, which are developing new methods for making biological collections
more accessible and "usable" for ornithological researchers.
Published in collaboration with and on behalf of The American Ornithological Society, this volume in the highly-regarded Studies in Avian Biology series documents the power of ornithological collections to address key research questions of global importance.
