Loans from the Department of Invertebrate Zoology

Loans are issued to scientific institutions only, and the institution is responsible for the loan.

  • Loans are made for one year, except type material, for which the time is 6 months. Extensions can usually be negotiated.
  • Specimens are to be returned, properly packed, in the condition they were received; any kind of preparation requires a permit. Prepared, sectioned or coated specimens are still part of the loan, and are to be returned.
  • A reprint is requested in case results based on this loan are published. Thanks.
