Colección de vertebrados: IMEDEA-VERT

Description

IMEDEA-VERT comprises current chordate specimens, most of which are disarticulated skeletons. Dr. Josep Antoni Alcover was the one who promoted its creation in order to obtain a reference osteological collection. The IMEDEA-VERT collection, which is currently growing, is of great scientific interest due to the number and diversity of species represented.
