From 2004–2009, Brian and postdoc Jessica Rykken spearheaded a biological inventory of the arthropods in the Boston Harbor Islands National Park, supported by a grant from the Stone Foundation. Most of the specimens were identified, digitized, and accessioned into the MCZ. With the redesign of MCZbase, we are pleased to announced that the data from this project has been made even more accessible. The ATBI data can be searched here (please note, it can take a moment to load!):
