| Résumé : | We provide a short overview of current research activities in scientific ornithological collections. Such collection-based research covers a wide range of approaches and methods including faunistic, ecological, molecular systematic and conservational aspects. We demonstrate that many molecular and computer-based approaches substantially rely on data from bird collections which underlines both the multifarious usefulness even of historic specimens and the need for a continued extension of collections for contemporary research. In order to facilitate further access to ornithological collections, information on collection holdings needs to be made available via internet databases. |
