Declaration
I understand that my application only constitutes a proposal and that samples can only be
used as approved by UNB staff and in a manner consistent with UNB’s Destructive
Sampling Guidelines
I understand that type specimens, specimens from extinct or endangered taxa and
specimens that are poorly represented in the collection will only be loaned in exceptional
circumstances.
I will return the specimens, properly labeled subsamples of any specimens (example
slides) and copies of any resulting publications in a timely matter.
I understand that the specimens are not to be forwarded to any other researchers without
the express approval of UNB staff and submit that the analyses are intended strictly for
academic research based on the proposal outlined above and not for any other purposes,
academic or commercial.
