Collecting and Rearing Fungus-Dwelling Diptera

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Samples of fungi were collected in two different areas of Brazil, one in the State of Goiás (by FFA) and another in the northeast part of the State of São Paulo (by CJB and SSO). Both these areas have a biome classified as Semi-deciduous Forest, with a dry season from June to September. The fungi samples with mycetophilid larvae were transferred to plastic jars covered by a fine mesh. Samples were misted daily with water to maintain humidity. Five adults emerged from the fungi. All material examined, with the exception of the holotype, was kept pinned, preserved in 80% alcohol, or on slides, and housed in the Diptera collection of the Museu de Zoologia da Universidade de São Paulo (MZSP), São Paulo, Brazil. The holotype of N.puncticoxa was examined at the Natural History Museum (NHM), London, UK (additional information on the holotype is available in Amorim and Oliveira 2013 (link)).
Methods for the preparation of specimens, photos and illustrations follow Oliveira and Amorim (2012) . Morphological terminology follows Søli (1997) and Amorim and Rindal (2007) for adults and Courtney et al. (2000) for larvae. Field photos were taken with either a Canon EOS 5D Mark II camera with a Canon EF 100mm F2.8 L IS USM Macro lens and Canon Speedlite 580EX II Flash (FFA), or a Canon PowerShot SX200IS (CJB).

Coral Reef Metazoan Collection Protocol

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Metazoan specimens were collected opportunistically from ten coral reef sites across Singapore from 2017 to 2019, either via intertidal surveys or subtidally via SCUBA. Collections were authorized by the National Parks Board (permit number NP/RP15-088), and samples were carefully treated according to NUS Institutional Animal Care and Use Committee (IACUC) guidelines (IACUC Protocol B15-1403) during the collection and vouchering process. During the vouchering phase, samples were grouped into phylum/class based on morphology. This was to facilitate downstream amino acid correction (see Section 2.5.), as well as morphology–barcode identity congruence checks. Voucher specimens were imaged using the Canon EF 100 mm f2.8/L IS USM macro lens on an EOS 750D.

Spider Specimen Preservation and Examination

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
All specimens were preserved in 75% ethanol at Institute of Zoology, Chinese Academy of Sciences (IZCAS) in Beijing, China. Spermathecae were cleared in trypsin enzyme solution to dissolve non-chitinous tissues. Specimens were examined under a LEICA M205C stereomicroscope. Photomicroscope images were taken with an Olympus C7070 zoom digital camera (7.1 megapixels). Laboratory habitus photographs were taken with a Canon EOS 60D digital camera equipped with a Canon EF 100 mm f/2.8L IS USM macro lens. Photos were stacked with Helicon Focus v. 6.7.1 and processed in Adobe Photoshop CC 2018. The terminology used in the text and figures follows Zhu and Song (2000) . Distribution maps were generated using ArcMap v. 10.2.
All measurements are in millimeters. Total size does not include chelicerae. Eye sizes were measured as the maximum diameter from either the dorsal or frontal view. Leg measurements are given as follows: total length (femur, patella+tibia, metatarsus, tarsus). Abbreviations: AER, anterior eye row; ALE, anterior lateral eyes; AME, anterior median eyes; CD, copulatory ducts; PER, posterior eye row; PLE, posterior lateral eyes; PLS, posterior lateral spinnerets; PME, posterior median eyes; PMS, posterior median spinnerets; T, terminus of receptacula.

Photographic Techniques for Fossil Analysis

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The fossils were photographed in the laboratory, submerged in water, with a Canon EOS 6D using a Canon EF 100 mm f/2.8L IS USM macro lens. High-angle polarized lighting was used to obtain reflectivity; low-angle (close to horizontal) lighting was used from various orientations to enhance recognition of the low relief of the fossil structure. Specimens were also photographed with low angle lighting dry after having been coated with sublimated magnesium oxide. Images were cropped, adjusted, and enhanced in Adobe Photoshop CS6. The raw images for polynomial texture mapping (PTM) images were acquired using a system (crafted by J. Jung at KOPRI) with lighting from 50 different directions and a Canon EOS 60D equipped with a Canon EF 100 mm f/2.8 USM macro lens. The 50 images were taken for each white-coated specimen, which were converted into a PTM format file. The PTM file was then run in RTI Viewer software, which is freely downloadable at http://culturalheritageimaging.org/What_We_Offer/Downloads/, to acquire enhanced surface details of the fossils.

Measurements of amber pieces were performed using a digital caliper (Digimatic Coolant Proof, Mitutoyo, Japan). Images of amber pieces were taken using a Canon EOS 6D digital camera (Canon Inc., Japan) with Canon EF 100 mm f/2.8L IS USM macro lens (Canon Inc., Japan). Morphological study of fossil bivalve specimens was based on an approach of Turner & Santhakumaran11 (link) with a special focus to the shell shape, size, valve shape and sculpture, the shape of mesoplax, metaplax, hypoplax, and umbonal reflection, and the character of periostracal lamellae. Images and measurements of specimens and trace fossils were taken with a Leica M165C microscope (Leica, Germany).

Visual Insect Inventory in Italy

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
In order to improve the checklist and to avoid an excessive use of destructive methods, visual detection of insects belonging to different orders, and direct classification in the field, were adopted whenever possible. A total of 19 visits for visual sampling, and 24 for direct captures, were made from March 2010 to July 2013 in Maddalena and Collebeato. The sampling in question had no inferential value, but only the objective of updating the list of species present. In this way, it was not necessary to standardize the timing, the length of the path, and the randomization of sampling in the monitoring. For this reason, the area was monitored by walking along the path over the hill and stopping in front of plants randomly selected during the walk, or when insects were observed. Image-based solutions using cameras (Canon EOS 5D Mark II equipped with Canon EF 100 mm f/2.8L IS USM Macro Lens, Canon, Tokyo, Japan) were adopted whenever a specimen was detected on vegetation and soil. Images were then checked in laboratory for classification, and only images showing specific morphological and color patterns were used to assign a species name to include in the checklist.
