A long-term project documenting selected insect groups of the Dominican Republic through field expeditions, taxonomic research, and museum-based study.
Short name
The website uses the shorter name EntomoRD Expeditions for clarity, while the official project title remains:
Distribución y Biodiversidad de Grupos de Insectos Seleccionados de la República Dominicana
What we do
Since 2021, we have carried out entomological research in the Dominican Republic. The work includes field collecting, specimen sorting and preparation, collaboration with specialists, description of new taxa, publication of faunistic data, and deposition of important material in public collections.
Museum deposition
Many type specimens resulting from the project are deposited at Natureum, Lausanne, helping to ensure long-term accessibility of the material for scientific study.
