| Amphibians and Reptiles collection | The Danish reptiles and amphibians are well represented in the collections, and not least thanks to a single collector (R. Skovgaard), the Museum has representative collections from the rest of Europe as well. The Museum possesses fine exotic collections from the earlier colonies of Denmark, e.g., from the earlier Danish West Indies. This material was treated by Reinhardt & Lütken (1862). From the earlier settlements on the Coast of Guinea, the Museum possesses a small, but very fine collection of snakes, many of which formed the basis for the description of new species (Reinhardt, 1843), among others the spitting cobra, Naja nigricollis. Reinhardt´s paper has been translated in English (Rasmussen & Hughes, 1997). Reinhardt increased the collections personally by undertaking three collecting trips to Brazil. The material was later treated by Reinhardt & Lütken (1861). Most of the very-representative collections of reptiles and amphibians can be traced back to a single expedition or a single person. Thus, the Noona Dan Expedition (1961-1962) brought home a fine collection of terrestrial amphibians and reptiles from the Philippines and Melanesia and marine sea snakes from the Pacific. Since 1985, Arne Redsted Rasmussen has personally more than doubled the number of sea snakes in the collections. The Museum has fine collections of anuran amphibians, most of which have been collected by Arne Schiøtz in connection with his studies on tree frogs from West Africa (1967). Later Arne Schiøtz extended his studies (1985) to include the East African tree frogs as well. Since 1970, the Museum, including the staff at the herpetological section, has made extensive collection tours to East Africa. In consequence, the section has abundant collections (especially snakes) from this area. In May 2005 the then curator of herpetology, Jens B. Rasmussen passed away after a short period of illness. Jens Rasmussen was curator of herpetology at the museum since 1977. His research area focused on phylogeny and biogeography of African snakes and through his work Jens became one of the leading specialists in this field. During his last years Jens worked with a comprehensive revision of the material kept in major collections, with the aim of producing a speciation atlas for African snakes. The work will be published posthumously. For more information, please contact Professor, Dr. scient., Jon Fjeldså or assistant curator Mogens Andersen. |

| Arthropod fauna in christmas tree plantations | During two seasons in 20 Christmas tree plantations (Abies nordmanniana) and the adjacent hedgerow samples of arthropod fauna was collected monthly by means of a beating screen. Half of the plantations were organic the other half were with conventional use of pesticides. In total about 850 samples were collected and 151.834 specimens of arthropods (and snails) were identified. Analyses were made of relationships between the cultural method, flora and fauna. Results indicate a potential for exploiting natural regulating factors of pests depending of choice of tree species composition in the hedgerows |

| Atlas Survey of the Butterflies of Denmark | This dataset contains the primary occurrence data from a complete atlas survey of the Butterflies of Denmark. The survey was carried out 1989 through 1994 and documents the species’ current and former distributions – based on civil scientist, country-wide, field observations during the survey, registration of collection specimens, and literature sources. The work was coordinated, and data compiled and analysed, by M.Sc. Biol., Ph.D. Michael Stoltze, to produce the bookwork ”Danske dagsommerfugle” (Danish Butterflies, ISBN-10: 8700212768; ISBN-13: 9788700212763). The dataset contains 199307 records, covering a total of 89 species. Med tilladelse fra Atlasprojektet Danmarks Dagsommerfugle / With permission from the Atlas survey of the Butterflies of Denmark. |

| Entomology Department Collections, Natural History Museum of Denmark | The entomological collections include insects and other terrestrial arthropods: myriapods and arachnids (but not terrestrial crustaceans). The collections include more than 3 million pinned insects plus a similar number of alcohol-preserved specimens; they thus range among the largest in Europe. All regions of the World are covered, but some areas are particularly well-represented. This is true of Denmark, the Faroe Islands, Iceland, and Greenland for all groups; of the Philippine and Bismarck Islands for most insects groups (the "Noona Dan" Expedition 1961-62); and of further geographical areas for particular groups as specified below. Important acquisitions are due to recent collecting efforts by staff members in Denmark, Greenland, Spain, Greece, Turkey, Tunisia, Morocco, South India, Thailand, Tanzania and southern Argentina/Chile. A large proportion of the holdings (in particular but not exclusively Danish Lepidoptera and Coleoptera) derive from amateurs' collections which have been donated to the Museum. The number of identified species in the collections totals about 100,000, i.e., about 10% of the described species. There are about 10,500 primary types. |
