Project guideline
Frogs with bent or missing limbs
Some specimens, especially older ones, may not be preserved in a way that allows easy measurement. If a specimen is unable to be measured, flag it by commenting on the image (e.g. #missing #unmeasurable).
Measuring the right side
To measure tibia length, always measure the frog’s right side. This will always be the side closest to the top of the screen.
Canadian Museum of Nature (CMN) Editions!
You may see some workflows labelled as a "CMN Edition". This means that specimen images were taken at the Canadian Museum of Nature in Ottawa. Not only are you contributing to the New Brunswick Museum collections, but through collaborations with other museums in North America, you're contributing to a much larger dataset! Keep an eye out for other museum tags that will be featured soon! To learn more about the CMN and their work, click here
