Abstract

The Lepidoptera of North America Network, or LepNet, is a digitization effort recently launched to mobilize biodiversity data from 3 million specimens of butterflies and moths in United States natural history collections (http://www.lep-net.org/). LepNet was initially conceived as a North American effort but the project seeks collaborations with museums and other organizations worldwide. The overall goal is to transform Lepidoptera specimen data into readily available digital formats to foster global research in taxonomy, ecology and evolutionary biology.

摘要

北美鳞翅目网络（LepNet）是一项近期启动的数字化工作，旨在整合美国自然历史馆藏中300万份蝴蝶和飞蛾标本的生物多样性数据（http://www.lep-net.org/）。LepNet最初构想为一项北美地区的工作，但该项目寻求与全球各地的博物馆及其他组织开展合作。总体目标是将鳞翅目标本数据转化为易于获取的数字格式，以促进分类学、生态学和进化生物学领域的全球研究。
