Descrição

The Museum of Nature of the V.N. Karazin Kharkiv National University (MNKNU) has the largest primate collection in Ukraine, comprising 217 specimens of 58 species, including Homo sapiens. The non-human species represented in the museum comprise 11% of the total number of primates, according to the Mammal Diversity Database v2.2 (further MDD, accessed August 2025), and are distributed across four of the eight biogeographic kingdoms, according to the World Wide Fund for Nature (WWF). The foundation of the MNKNU’s primate collection dates back to the first quarter of the XIXth century, thus, the record for the oldest stuffed animal in the collection - a golden lion tamarin Leontopithecus rosalia (L., 1766), - dates back to 1826. The collection is represented by several types of preservation groups and includes 103 stuffed animals, 87 dry, and 27 wet preparations. In 2009, the museum's Primates catalog was published on paper. Since then, changes to systematics, new additions to the collection, and the urgent need to safeguard information about the collection due to the high risk of destruction by the Russian army have made digitizing the MNKNU Primates collection relevant. It also provides an opportunity to make it available and remotely accessible to a wider range of dedicated specialists.

Métodos de Amostragem

Cited from Perevozchikjova et al. (in press): "I. Historical data of the MNKNU primate collection covers period between 1826-1995 and includes following archival sources: i) the original records of the systematic card index of the MNKNU (composed between 1826-1889, and contains 24 records compiled within 1826-1875 for primates); ii) Book for recording additions to the Zoological Cabinet. Material Book (maintained 1826-1862); iii) Systematic catalogue of objects stored in the Zoological Cabinet of the Imperial Kharkiv University until 1848 (Chernay, 1849); iv) Systematic catalogue of objects stored in the Zoological Cabinet of the Imperial Kharkiv University until 1848 (Chernay, 1854); v) Inventory book of the Zoological Museum of the Biological Faculty of the A.M. Gorky Kharkiv State University (22 March 1937 - 24 July 1941); vi) Inventory workbook № 2 of the Museum of Darwinism of the Biological Faculty of the A.M. Gorky Kharkiv State University (1944); vii) Main inventory book of the Museum of Nature of the A. M. Gorky Kharkiv State University (1976) – currently in use and renamed into "Inventory book № 1 of the Museum of Nature of the V. N. Karazin Kharkiv National University, started Jan. 1976 - ended 1976, from #1 until #1403"; viii) Inventory book of the Department of the Origin of Human (1948-1995); ix) Catalogue of collections of the Museum of Nature of the V.N. Karazin Kharkiv National University. Primates (Mammalia: Primates) (Levchenko & Perevozchikova, 2009). II. Initial taxonomic determination in the majority of cases relied upon the original labeling of the new acquisitions by the Museum. Specifically, that concerned vouchers from the XIXth century: for those items no taxonomical revision has been conducted ever (archival sources i-iv). During the second half of the XXth century, numerous vouchers have been donated by Kharkiv Zoo, and their determination relied upon original Zoo records, which was reflected in the source viii. This inventory book is an unofficial list for internal departmental use, and the species names were filled in by hand by two museum employees – Rudaeva A.V. (working years 1945-1996) and Levchenko D.R. (1970-2016). Among them, only three specimens were determined by Rudaeva. Hereby, the catalogue (Levchenko & Perevozchikova, 2009) followed taxonomical determinations available from the aforementioned sources i-viii. For present work, we conducted verification and critical taxonomical redetermination of the stuffed animals only (n=103), following systematic framework of the order Primates L., 1758 by the MDD (accessed Aug 2025), redetermination was made with essential assistance of Dr. Hector E. Ramirez-Chaves (Medellin Univ., Colombia). We also verified the collection with the Illustrated checklist by Burgin et al. (2020). As for the rest of vouchers stored in the collection (non-stuffed, n=114), we provided already extant taxonomic records indicating the necessity of such revision in the future. "

Área de Estudo This electronic primates catalogue of the MNKNU is accompanied by the descriptive data paper (Perevozchikova et al, in press). There are records on 217 vouchers of primates, belonging to 59 taxa, which is the largest collection of primates in Ukraine.
Controle de Qualidade Cited from Perevozchikjova et al. (in press): "Digitization workflow included: i) Photographing of the stuffed animals by digital camera Canon EOS 1300D, with processor DIGIC 4+ under the following specification: resolution 2973х2685 pixels, ISO – 100, focal distance 18 mm, color depth 24 (sRGB), no flash used; ii) Similarly, photographing of the archival sources i-viii; their pdf versions (pages that contained primate records) were published with the Zenodo digital repository, the associated DOI are provided within References;"
