Collections

With more than 200,000 specimens, the naturalist collections of the IMEDEA COL service represent a large component of the living and extinct fauna of the Balearic Islands. Among others, we highlight the collections of fossil vertebrates, insects, otoliths, crustaceans and the osteological collection of living vertebrates. Access to the collections is open to both internal researchers and external institutions, including for dissemination activities, and can be consulted on GBIF, Taxo&Map and Pollinators of the Balearic Islands.
