contents (Uploaded by Plazi for the Bat Literature Project) Mammalian collection of the Museu de Biologia Professor Mello Leitão: 70 years recording the biodiversity of Espírito Santo. The mammal collection of the Museum of Biology Professor Mello Leitão (MBML) of the National Institute of the Atlantic Forest (INMA) is a regional collection created in 1949. With almost 4,000 specimens, its data is available in free open access repositories. The collection holds 151 native species from Brazil, representing 74% of the mammal diversity of Espírito Santo, 44% of the Atlantic Forest, and 21% of Brazil. Bats, rodents, and primates are the most representative groups. For the former, more than ¼ of the specimens were collected until the 1960s. But for primates, the number of specimens increased significantly only recently, because of the yellow fever outbreak in Espírito Santo, between 2016 and 2017. The mountain region of Espírito Santo is the source of the majority of specimens, mainly Santa Teresa, where the INMA is located. Thus, despite being the main biodiversity reference center for Espírito Santo, the collection shows gaps regarding the state's biodiversity, especially from the north of the Doce River. Even with restrictions in technical and curatorial staff during its 70‑year history, the MBML‑INMA mammal collection has provided scientific and educational support for many types of scientific research and schools. Thus, the history of MBML‑INMA symbolizes the history of mammalogy and scientific outreach in the Espírito Santo.
