MyrmEcoDex aims to catalogue ant richness and diversity from (threatened) habitats across the globe, through the use of standardized field surveys and the study of museum collections. Particular interest goes to further optimising the ant-taxonomy, including the description of new species.

SpiDivERse aims to increase understanding on the diversity and distributions of one of the planets most fascinating taxonomic groups, the hyperdiverse Araneae (spiders). We plan to identify, catalogue and describe spider communities from some of the most imperilled and biodiverse regions on earth.

MiteFind‘s goal is to identify and catalogue mite diversity across the world, step by step. We search as many places as possible, at both small and large scale. We are especially interested in updating the current species records and contributing to mite taxonomy with new species descriptions.

Syritta aims to map hoverflies biodiversity, using standardized field research and studying collections. Syritta carries out its own hoverfly-focused projects, but also contributes to broader projects by providing hoverfly expertise.

RePhoCus performs Research through Photography of Collections using stacking of images to acquire detailed digital vouchers of insect specimens. Museum collections house a trove of undocumented species. It is our goal to study this hidden biodiversity and help publish the data alongside the digitised specimens.
