Abstract
Although the increased awareness of biodiversity preservation has highlighted the crucial role of biological collections in museums, seemingly little attention has been given to the urgency of inventory work. In Joris Komen’s view, making a collection accessible and useful to the world community should be a major museum priority. The author is curator of birds at the National Museum of Namibia. He has spent many years working on the endemic avifauna of the south‐western arid zone of Africa, focusing on behavioural and vocal character comparisons, mating systems and other ‘non‐traditional’ biological systematic methods.
