Thanks so much for the thoughtful thread, Andrew. As it's impossible to predict the future, variety of preparations might be key.

We have successfully used immersion fixation for heads of Cathartes and Coragyps with the rest of the body used for skins, skeletons, and spirit specimens. I will add that for most comparative neuroanatomy an n of 3-6 is fine. Big series are only needed for sex or seasonal variation within species

I learned quite a bit from your talk, thank you!
Any updated protocols or recommendations for fixing liquid specimens? We've been using ethanol for quite sometime now (we actually switched from formaline back in the day)
