Cost of Collecting and Preparing Mammal Voucher Specimens for Natural History Collections Robert D. Bradley, Lisa C. Bradley, Heath J. Garner, and Robert J. Baker Abstract Natural history collections contain a wealth of biological information for scientists, edu¬ cators, the general public, and society. Determining the monetary value or worth of natural history collections is a difficult and controversial task; however, given that curators are often required by administrators to justify requests for personnel and space, as well as for developing plans for growth, loan policies, and accreditation, this exercise is often necessary. Molecular biology, genomics, and zoonotic studies have placed an increased emphasis on natural his¬ tory specimens through genetic-based studies; usage and subsequent destructive sampling of voucher specimens or their associated tissues has led to philosophical debates pertaining to loan requests and ultimately the costs required to maintain or replace specimens. For these reasons, we reviewed the costs associated with collecting and preparing mammal specimens, including tissue samples and karyotypes, deposited in the Natural Science Research Laboratory, Museum of Texas Tech University from 2000 to 2011. We determined that the average value was $41 for voucher specimens collected locally or regionally and $74 for specimens collected on international trips. Costs per collecting trip varied depending on the nature of the trip, accom¬ modations, transportation, number of personnel, trip success (number of specimens collected), etc. In total, 13,590 specimens were collected at an estimated cost of $756,067, resulting in an overall average cost of $56 per specimen. In addition, 4,974 person-days were expended during these collecting efforts. Key words: collecting costs, destructive sampling, monetary value, natural history col¬ lections, tissue loans, voucher specimens Introduction The Natural Science Research Laboratory 2006; Kovacic 2009; Mares 2009; Rowe et al. 2011) (NSRL), a division of the Museum of Texas Tech discussed the “value” of such collections in terms of University (MoTTU), is a repository for natural his¬ their role in the scientific community and aesthetic tory specimens and their associated data (physical, usefulness to society in general, the actual monetary written, and electronic).

In addition, many museums do not acknowledge (TTU) administration to determine a monetary value collections as an “asset” in their financial statements or for the collections, equipment, and other assets housed positions; consequently, the recent literature provided in the NSRL. This precipitated an internal study by limited guidance concerning how best to estimate the the NSRL staff and led to a philosophical discussion financial worth of a specimen. of how to best estimate the monetary value of a scien¬ tific specimen.

A total of 61 trips were included in this Flomot, Texas, collecting trips to several localities in study and were subdivided into two categories: local Arizona, Kansas, New Mexico, and Oklahoma, and or regional (50 trips), and international (11 trips).

Explanation of our calculation of average cost for field preparation of a specimen. Costs were based on expenses from six representative NSRL field trips that resulted in 3,356 voucher specimens collected and prepared. All values were rounded to the nearest dollar. Costs take into account the relative frequency of the various specimen sizes, preparation types, and procedures (e.g., skin/skull/skeleton specimens,fluid specimens, or skeleton-only specimens; frozen tissues, lysis tissues, blood samples obtained; karyotypes prepared). Also taken into account are items that might be prepared in advance of atrip in larger quantities than actually needed based on the number of specimens subsequently collected, such as pre-printed tags and tanks of liquid nitrogen, which cannot be saved for use on subsequent trips.
