An award is made to the San Diego Natural History Museum (SDNHM) to join with the Lepidoptera of North America Network Thematic Collection Network (LepNet TCN) as a Partner to Existing Network (PEN). The main goal of this project is to integrate information from butterfly and moth specimens at the SDNHM with LepNet to facilitate the use of museum specimens for research and education. Publicly accessible data resources like LepNet are increasingly being used to study the impact of environmental change on the natural world and to develop conservation priorities. The information associated with the SDNHM specimens fills major data gaps from southern California and the Baja California Peninsula. In addition, the project will add species currently not represented in LepNet and a quarter of the data predates the 1920s, a period currently underrepresented in the portal. Along with these scientific outcomes, the project will engage dozens of high-school interns and volunteers and provide science-related work experience for at least six undergraduate students. The researchers will also be producing public-friendly social media and blog content that highlights the aesthetics, diversity, and biology of butterflies and moths. This NSF-ADBC funded project will transcribe label data for over 150,000 Lepidoptera specimen records from the SDNHM and incorporate it in into the LepNet data resource. All specimens will be barcoded, databased, and georeferenced, and at least 4000 exemplars will be imaged and available online. The project will increase the current number of accessible specimen records for southern California and the peninsula of Baja California by 684% and 241% respectively. The SDNHM has maintained over 140 years of research on this region, which will provide a substantial increase in the temporal diversity currently documented in LepNet, enhancing the portal's utility for change over time research. The participating undergraduate students, high school interns, and volunteers will be trained and mentored in museum curation, imaging, databasing protocols, and collections-based research. Digitized data will be shared with iDigBio (idigbio.org) where it can be accessed for research, education, and public use.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.

圣地亚哥自然历史博物馆 (SDNHM) 获得奖项，与北美鳞翅目网络主题收藏网络 (LepNet TCN) 一起成为现有网络 (PEN) 的合作伙伴。 该项目的主要目标是将 SDNHM 的蝴蝶和飞蛾标本信息与 LepNet 集成，以促进博物馆标本用于研究和教育。 LepNet 等可公开访问的数据资源越来越多地被用于研究环境变化对自然世界的影响并制定保护优先事项。 与 SDNHM 标本相关的信息填补了南加州和下加利福尼亚半岛的主要数据空白。 此外，该项目还将添加目前在 LepNet 中未出现的物种，并且四分之一的数据早于 20 年代，而该时期目前在该门户中代表性不足。 除了这些科学成果外，该项目还将吸引数十名高中实习生和志愿者，并为至少六名本科生提供与科学相关的工作经验。 研究人员还将制作公众友好的社交媒体和博客内容，突出蝴蝶和飞蛾的美学、多样性和生物学。该 NSF-ADBC 资助的项目将转录来自 SDNHM 的 150,000 多个鳞翅目标本记录的标签数据，并将其合并到 LepNet 数据资源中。所有样本都将进行条形码、数据库和地理参考，并且至少 4000 个样本将被成像并在线提供。该项目将使南加州和下加利福尼亚半岛目前可获取的标本记录数量分别增加 684% 和 241%。 SDNHM 对该区域进行了 140 多年的研究，这将大幅增加 LepNet 目前记录的时间多样性，从而增强该门户对随时间变化的研究的实用性。 参与的本科生、高中实习生和志愿者将接受博物馆策展、成像、数据库协议和基于藏品的研究方面的培训和指导。 数字化数据将与 iDigBio (idigbio.org) 共享，可供研究、教育和公共使用。该奖项反映了 NSF 的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的智力价值和更广泛的影响审查进行评估，被认为值得支持标准。
