title: Making the mammalogy collection at the Natural History Museum of Zimbabwe accessible through GBIF by end of 2017 (BID-AF2015-0117-SMA).

description: Mammalian population numbers have been reducing due to a wide variety of factors i.e. human invasions into protected areas; over utilisation through both legal and illegal hunting, and conversion of habitats. However, historical populations and occurrences of these species has not been readily available and possibly use of the historical information that is locked in the museums has been neglected particularly due lack of knowledge of what resources are there or due to the formats in which they are available (analogue). Therefore, our goal was to make the mammalogy collection at the Natural History Museum of Zimbabwe accessible through GBIF by end of 2017. Availability of this data online would make it easier for individuals, who may not have direct access to the collection to have access. 

Generally, the mammalogy department has a valuable historic record of mammal biodiversity from locations that are not only from Zimbabwe but also from around the world, predominantly in Southern Africa. These records were not easily available as most were still in analogue format. Therefore, this project aimed to collate and digitize the biodiversity data from the Natural History Museum of Zimbabwe targeting 11 000 specimen records. The overall aim was to produce a checklist which could be used by the public, scientists, and policy makers, so that they integrate information in their research and into policy making processes. 

The checklist dataset has therefore, been compiled and it includes some of the mammal species records that are found in our main mammalogy storeroom. 11 000 specimen records were digitised. From the 11 000 specimens 122 species and 23 families were generated and this is what our checklist provides. These species range from small-medium sized carnivores, rodents, primates, and bats. 

Most of them were collected from Southern Africa, i.e. Zimbabwe, Botswana, Zambia, Malawi, Mozambique, South Africa and Namibia. However, the initial focus was to provide data from protected areas from Zimbabwe, particularly Matopos National Park, however, in going through the collection it proved to be difficult to segregate Zimbabwe from the rest of the countries during the inventory and digitisation. Therefore, we provide information that covers protected areas in the specified countries, though Zimbabwe constitutes 54% of the 11000 dataset and about 400 specimens where from in or around Matopos.

title: Mobilizing specimen data on bats and rodents from Zimbabwe

description: This is a checklist of specimens housed in the Wet collection of the Natural History Museum of Zimbabwe. The checklist provides a comprehensive list of bats, rodents, hare and shrews in the wet collection. The specimens are preserved in 70% alcohol and the alcohol is frequently topped up. The specimens were collected from 13 different countries in Africa i.e. Angola, Botswana, DR Congo, Ethiopia, Gabon, Ghana, Ivory Coast, Malawi, Mozambique, Namibia, South Africa, Zambia and Zimbabwe, between 1899-2012.

Our main focus was predominately on bats because they have both advantages and disadvantages. They are important because they can act as a biological agent to control pests; however, they transmit deadly viruses to humans and livestock. They have been found to harbour 61 zoonotic diseases such as Ebola, Hendra and Rabies which can result in animal death. These viruses can be transmitted to livestock (including horses, cats, and dogs) then humans or they can be contracted directly from bats through scratches or bat bites, or bat fluids, and water that has been contaminated with bat body fluid. Dead bats are also a threat to human health as they also carry these viruses and transmit them through wounds and pricks. They can pose a serious health threat if found in buildings, because their guano harbours fungi that can cause Histoplasmosis, a lung disease. Although our data is not broad with regards to bat species found globally (estimated 1200 species) we do provide helpful baseline information that has been used by the University of Cape Town, University of Zimbabwe, CIRAD Zimbabwe, to mention a few institutions. Providing this checklist and baseline data could help improve visibility and access to our collection and it could improve future research on bat distribution and mapping out disease hotspots for disease prevalence in each country or in Africa as a continent.

title: Ephemeroptera, Plecoptera, Trichoptera and Odonata (EPTO) genera of Zimbabwe

description: Aquatic insects form an important part of the aquatic food chains (Mandima 2013) and they play an important role in secondary production (Voshell 2009). Records of 4 widely distributed aquatic insect orders; Ephemeroptera, Plecoptera, Trichoptera, Odonata (EPTO) were collated from Museums around Africa through the African Insect Atlas project, a Biodiversity information for development (BID) project sponsored by GBIF and the EU which focuses on unleashing the potential of insects in conservation and sustainability research. The dataset includes a checklist and an occurrence dataset as an extension. However localities were withheld and data users are encouraged to contact the resource providers or the institution for the full data-set. 

EPTO taxa are particularly important for freshwater ecological and biomonitoring studies and have gained fame for their role as environmental indicators as they are only found in abundance in clean waters and are very few if not totally absent in polluted water bodies. This checklist will therefore serve as a basis for research in the aforementioned topics and many other research disciplines that can then be useful in policy making and biodiversity conservation in Zimbabwe.

title: Scorpiones, Solifugae and Araneae of the Matobo World Heritage Site, Zimbabwe

description: Arachnids are among the most common and ubiquitous of animals, being found in all terrestrial ecosystems. All Arachnids, excluding Acari, are obligate carnivores, and insects constitute their principal prey. Being short-lived they adjust more rapidly to changes in the environment caused by changes in the land use thus making them useful ecological indicators. Moreover, many arachnids are also considered to be of medical importance. However, data about the Arachnid fauna of Zimbabwe and its protected areas is not available thus this project aims to make the Matobo World Heritage Site, South West Zimbabwe, Arachnid collections at the Natural History Museum of Zimbabwe accessible through GBIF by end of 2018. This collection includes Scorpiones, Solifugae and Araneae collected between 1978 and 2018 from 51 families and totaling 4062 Araneae specimen lots and 148 scorpion specimen lots.

title: Mobilizing specimen data on bats and rodents from Zimbabwe

description: The Natural History Museum of Zimbabwe houses over 80 species of rodents and bats some of which are threatened species or endemic to certain areas. However, their composition, occurrence, and distribution in Zimbabwe still remains unpublished therefore they are inaccessible. The Mammalogy wet collection contains records of about 6000 specimens of rodents and bats preserved in alcohol. To better understand the distribution of bat and rodent species found in Zimbabwe, the Mammalogy staff aims to mobilize over 6000 records from specimens found in the collection and map out the occurrence of these species. Currently we publish about 2800 records. The checklist for all the bats has been published and therefore can be cross-referenced with this occurrence data.

title: Freshwater biodiversity of the Eastern Highlands of Zimbabwe: Assessing conservation priorities using primary species-occurrence data

description: The Eastern Highlands of Zimbabwe harbors several freshwater species of conservation interest, such as birds, invertebrates, fish and amphibians, whose numbers and distribution are little known. The impacts of the on-going human activities and threats such as agricultural expansion, illegal mining activities and introduction of alien invasive species on the local wetland biodiversity, and the integrity of the ecosystem in the region is also not very clear. A related problem is the inaccessibility and unavailability of the relevant data on the wetland biodiversity from previous studies and surveys, for policy and decision making in the area. This project seeks to mobilise the much required data on freshwater biodiversity in the Eastern Highlands of Zimbabwe and make use of Biodiversity Informatics tools to identify the important sites for Conservation of Freshwater biodiversity, with a focus on fish, invertebrates, amphibians and bird species in the region. The outputs from this project will therefore help to show policy makers. Wildlife managers, researchers and conservationists where to target resources and conservation effort should be target and will help protect the biodiversity that still occur in the unprotected wetlands of this region, that could be lost to human activities such as clearing for agriculture.

title: Dielectric response and excitations of hydrogenated free-standing graphene

description: The conversion of semimetallic suspended graphene (Gr) to a large-gap semiconducting phase is realized by controlled adsorption of atomic hydrogen (deuterium) on free-standing Gr veils in nanoporous graphene. The effects of local rehybridization from sp² to sp³ chemical bonding are investigated by combining X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy and high-resolution electron energy-loss spectroscopy (HREELS) with ab-initio based modelling. The hydrogen adatoms on the C sites induce a stretching frequency, clearly identified in vibrational spectra thanks to the use of the D isotope, which is compatible with the predicted fingerprints of adsorption on both sides of Gr corresponding to the graphane configuration. HREELS of the deuterated samples shows a wide opening of the optical band gap, consistent with the modified spectral density observed in the valence band photoemission. The results are in agreement with ab-initio calculations by GW and Bethe-Salpeter equation approaches, showing a large quasiparticle gap opening and huge excitonic binding energy
