Parasites collected as part of this work remain the property of the National Park Service, and are deposited in the parasitology holdings of the University of Nebraska State Museum (Harold W. Manter Laboratory of Parasitology) in accordance with the agreement between the Thicket of Diversity, the PI, and the NPS. All specimens deposited as part of this work are labeled with a BITH catalog number (BITH-28), a BITH accession number, as well as the HWML accession number, and the project’s unique collection numbers. Associated data are uploaded to the HWML and the Thicket of Diversity web-enabled database portal as specimens are identified and/or described. These databased can be accessed through the following links:

In addition, spreadsheet flat flies are maintained and regularly updated for download and free use from this website. These data files will only contain information on fish and parasite taxa that are complete by the standards of the work, until such time as the project is completed, when all data will be available for download and free use.
