Explore our interactive Tableau dashboard to learn more about our institutions.

Institution codons usually conform to the American Society of Ichthyologists and Herpetologists' (Sabaj Pérez, 2010) accepted codons except in instances when those institutions were not included in that publication or that requested that we use different codons. Note that many institutions have subsumed smaller collections during their histories and thus this list indirectly includes many more collections. The TNHC, for example, has acquired and subsumed collections formerly at University of Texas Marine Science Institute (UTMSI), Midwestern State University (MWSU), Texas Tech University (TTU), Texas A&M University at Kingsville (TAIC), The University of Texas at Brownsville (UTB), Lamar University, Northeastern Louisiana University (NLU) and continues to acquire additional "orphaned" collections.
