Biological Collections
Biological collections are organized groups of preserved specimens that represent various forms of life, including plants, animals, fungi, and microorganisms. These collections are often housed in museums, universities, and research institutions, serving as valuable resources for scientific research, education, and conservation efforts. They help scientists study biodiversity, evolution, and the effects of environmental changes.
The specimens in biological collections can include herbarium samples, taxidermy animals, and fossils. Each specimen is carefully labeled and documented, providing important information about its origin, habitat, and ecological significance. These collections play a crucial role in advancing our understanding of the natural world and informing conservation strategies.
