This is a list of papers on ostracods authored by Prof. Robin Whatley that contain reference to specimens housed at the Natural History Museum. The list was compiled as preparation for a talk by Giles Miller at the Geological Society on Monday 30th Jan 2017 at a meeting to commemorate the life and works of Robin Whatley. The list is by no means complete and is based mainly on data associated with the Aberystwyth University...

Abstract of publication: The Hawaiian psyllids (Psylloidea, Triozidae) feeding on Metrosideros (Myrtaceae) constitute a remarkable radiation of more than 35 species. This monophyletic group has diversified on a single, highly polymorphic host plant species, Metrosideros polymorpha. Eleven Metrosideros-feeding species included in the Insects of Hawaii by Zimmerman are redescribed, and an additional 25 new species are described. Contrary to previous classifications that placed the Metrosideros-feeders in two genera, Trioza Foerster, 1848 and Kuwayama Crawford, 1911,...

A catalogue of information about discrete collections within the Former Aberystwyth University Micropalaeontology Collection, now housed the Natural History Museum.\r\n\r\nThe catalogue is designed for **university academics** and **industrial micropalaeontologists** interested in post-Palaeozoic ostracods and foraminifera.\r\n\r\nCollection records generally include:\r\n\r\n* the title of the study that produced the collection\r\n* information about the collector \r\n* any associated documentation (e.g. thesis, record file or publications) held at the Museum.\r\n* brief geological ages based on the Gradstein et al. (1996)...

Four concatenated alignment (including indels) of three mitochondrial genes (CO1, ND1 and 16S rRNA) for the Sri Lankan land snail Corilla (Pulmonata: Corillidae). See: Raheem, D.C. et al. (2017) Exploring the shell-based taxonomy of the Sri Lankan land snail Corilla H. and A. Adams, 1855 (Pulmonata: Corillidae) using mitochondrial DNA, Molecular Phylogenetics and Evolution, 107: 609-618. All datasets aligned using MAFFT v. 7 (Katoh and Standley, 2013, Molecular Biology and Evolution, 30, 772-780).

An up to date dataset of the Insect Pollinators Initiative, A multi-institution initiative with the NHM, BBSRC and The University of Edinburgh. The archive is held at the Natural History Museum, London. \r\n\r\nCurrent dataset approximately 42,500.\r\n

We describe two diminutive species of rattlesnakes (Genus _Crotalus_) from small nearshore islands off the coast of Baja California in the western Gulf of California, Mexico. In order to test the hypothesis that some island populations represent cohesive species entities, we applied linear discriminant analysis and uniform validation procedures to multiple classes of intrinsic trait data. By using previously recognised species to establish a threshold for species recognition, we found that assignment of specimens to...

The data required to run the analyses in Al Sabouni et al "Reproducibility of species recognition in modern planktonic foraminifera and its implications for measures of community structure". Also, the images of the specimens.

The data set comprises the original data files and scripts used to generate analyses in the publication\r\nAubriot X, Knapp S, Syfert MM, Poczai P, Buerki S (2018) Shedding new light on the origin and spread of the brinjal eggplant (Solanum melongena L.) and its wild relatives. American Journal of Botany XX: xxx-xxx\r\n\r\n\r\nABSTRACT\r\n\r\nPREMISE OF THE STUDY: While brinjal eggplant (Solanum melongena L.) is the second most important solanaceaous fruit crop, we lack firm knowledge of its...

The Phthiraptera collection comprises the records of all the slide-mounted parasitic lice material at the Natural History Museum, London. It includes the main collection and the four discrete historical collections of Richard Balter, Henry Denny, Edouard Piaget and Seinosuke Uchida.\r\n\r\nThe Phthiraptera collection was digitised to refine our slide digitisation workflow and to provide images for metadata extraction using machine learning.\r\n\r\nEach specimen record has been published with an image capturing both the specimen and its associated...

The database represents the microfossil well-run collection resulting from British Petroleum's exploration activities since the 1950s. It holds details of material from over 3,500 individual well runs. \r\n\r\nThe main purpose of the database is to allow researchers to identify material of interest, based on its geographical location.\r\n\r\nPlease note that in some cases the data is sparse. Records are updated regularly when data become available.

Data set of specimens used in the publication: Knapp, S., E. Sagona, A.K.Z. Carbonell and F. Chiarini (2017) A revision of the Solanum elaeagnifolium clade (Elaeagnifolium clade; subgenus Leptostemonum, Solanaceae). PhytoKeys, in press.\r\n\r\nAbstract\r\nThe Solanum elaeagnifolium clade (Elaeagnifolium clade) contains five species of small, often rhizomatous, shrubs from deserts and dry forests in North and South America. Members of the clade were previously classified in sections Leprophora, Nycterium and Lathyrocarpum, and were not thought to be...
