Dave SmithPetrology Collections Manager
NA EMu Users Meeting, 21-22nd October 2008
Can EMu be used as a tool for pest management?
What is Pest Management?
• Standards of Collections Care
– Implementation of protocols and procedure
• Programme of monitoring
• Reaction to situations
• Proactive action
• Applicable to all collections consisting of soft furnishings, natural fibres, and animal pelts & skeletons
• Universally applicable
• Prevent Pest damage to collections
Monitoring
• Sticky pest traps
• Pheromone traps
• Fortnightly – monthly
• Database
• Analysis
• Reporting

What if…….
• …we could plot this data on the plans of the Museum?
• …we could query the data and see the results displayed on the plans?
• …we could display data for the same time period, but from different years to analyse for seasonal patterns?
• WE CAN….
The Object Locator
Query display
• Query the familiar EMu interface
• Show traps where
– between 1st April & 31st August 2003
– Name = Guernsey Carpet Beetle
– Lifestage = larva
– Total in any trap >= 2

How does it work?
• Bitmap of museum plans
• Define X-Y-Z grid system for building
• Each trap has a unique X-Y-Z co-ordinate
• Each trap is given a Location record into which this X-Y-Z co-ordinate is recorded
Pest Trap Location – in the building
Pest Trap Location – on the Object Locator
What development is required?
• A new Pest Event Module.
• 1or 2 new tabs.
• Minimum data fields (as defined by MuseumPests.net)
– Trap Number
– Type of trap
– Location
– Date checked
– Species
– Life stage
– Count

Phase 2
• More to pest management than pest trapping
• Monitoring of collection store environments (T/h)
– Association of certain species with environmental conditions
– Room (ambient) cupboard/drawer container
– Relocate specimens according to suitability to the environment
• The ‘i’ in IPM means “Integrated”
• Phase 2 is to integrate environmental data.
Environmental monitoring dataEnvironmental monitoring data
Loggers around the museum show us temperature and humidity readings which may indicate where insects could become a problem or are already a problem but we can’t see it yet!

Conclusion
• Pest Management is universal
• Visualisation is a powerful tool
– Monitoring
– Communication
• Can EMu be used as a pest management tool?
YES!
• Object Locator provides platform for spatial visualisation
Conclusion
• NHM has initiated discussion with KE Software to assess how much of GIS functionality can be mimicked in EMu.
– Proportional symbology
– Ability to observe temporal data on the plans
– Seamless link to environmental data sources
• The universal applicability of this functionality means that it should be developed by the EMu community for themselves.
• So who’s in…?
Questions?
Wishful Thinking….
