Description

This is malawi's histeridae biodiversity data created by Professor Cornell Dudley. It involves collections of various collectors like Raymond Murphy and many more.

Sampling Description

Study Extent

The project covers histeridae biodiversity data for Malawi

Sampling

The aim of the project is to make biodiversity data information accessible to all. We would like to digitise collections held by The Department of Museums and Monuments, individuals and institutions and then upload the data into a local or international database
