Zoology (including Botany)
The Zoology section manages and curates the research/reference collections
of Tasmanian animals and plants and related material, and carries
out research in the general areas of Zoology and Botany. The section
provides information on Tasmania's flora and fauna to scientists around
the world and supplies an identification service to other scientific
institutions, government and non-government bodies, schools and the
general public. It is also involved in the preparation of exhibitions
on natural history themes for the Royal Park site of the Museum.

Zoological Project Localities
We have compiled locality data from major zoological field studies
carried out in Tasmania since the early 1970s. Each locality is
assigned a UTM grid reference and a latitude/longitude, and wherever
possible we indicate the precision of our locating.
