We had a great time in a lab exercise about plumage coloration. The new Pavo program in R is really a wonderful tool to quantify color data.

in specimen preparation and that specimens
may undergo different field and curatorial preparations prior to being
accessioned into museum collections, are there any efforts to
standardize such protocols and/or add such documentation to specimen
annotations? I think this can be pertinent and helpful.
Just as an example, I have stable isotopes and microbial work in mind,
where specimen handling, preparation, and storage can impact data
quality and validity.
