Scientists have completed the scan of thousands of animal specimen as part of the openVertebrate (oVert) project and made 3D reconstructions of the animals.
This ambitious six-year initiative is now freely available online for researchers, educators, students.
The project’s completion was marked by a comprehensive review published in the journal BioScience, highlighting the vast array of specimens scanned and the potential avenues for future research and technological innovation these models open up.
Edward Stanley, co-principal investigator of oVert and an associate scientist at the Florida Museum of Natural History said, “When people first collected these specimens, they had no idea what the future would hold for them,” he noted, emphasising the project’s contribution to expanding the utility and understanding of these collections.
