Sergio now presents Task 4: Mapping Spanish pollinator collections.
The aim of this task was to find other public entomological collections in Spain with which to establish links and which could provide more material for the reference collection 🐝🪰🦋.

Now, Arturo gives us a “master class” on analyzing gaps in the reference collection 📊🔎.
Which species are unique to each institution? Which ones are common to all INC-STEP partners? Which ones are missing? 🤔

Berta Caballero (MCNB) led the way in the first practical session of the day ‼️
@museuciencies.cat
She presented some pilot #IDsheets 📄 for 6️⃣ selected species of #Eristalinae present in our territory! 🪰
Attendees were able to practise using real specimens to validate them! ✅
