It is our pleasure to announce a new interface for the specimen databases of Florida State University's Robert K. Godfrey Herbarium and Tall Timbers Research Station's Robert K. Godfrey Herbarium (http://herbarium.bio.fsu.edu/). Both herbaria are named for Bob Godfrey (1911-2000), a respected expert on the flora of the southeastern U.S. The website serves data and images for ca. 60,000 of FSU's ca. 205,000 specimens and nearly all (10,500) of Tall Timbers' specimens. These specimens document diversity in the East Gulf Coastal Plain ecoregion, one of North America's biotic hotspots, as well as elsewhere (especially the Neotropics). The new functionality allows new types of searches and results, including the following possibilities: (1) provide all specimens that were flowering in June in Leon County, Florida, irrespective of year, (2) map all specimens of invasive species collected in the past 10 years in Florida, and (3) provide only the desired set of fields about the specimens of interest in a tab-delimited file that can be opened in Excel or other spreadsheet programs. The search interface is also more convenient, with auto-fill of several fields (e.g., common name). The popular display of results as a page of thumbnails is now one of four available result formats. Florida State University gratefully acknowledges funding from the National Science Foundation (Awards 0956372 and 0646222), the Florida Department of Environmental Protection, and the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission to support the digitization of its specimens and creation of the website. Tall Timbers Research Station gratefully acknowledges funding from the National Science Foundation (Award 0956343) to support the digitization of its specimens. We will be grateful for feedback on the new interface. Please send comments to amast@bio.fsu.edu. With best regards, Austin Mast, Kevin Robertson, Alex Stuy, and Gil Nelson ---------------------------------------------------------------- This message was sent using IMP, the Internet Messaging Program.
