Las colecciones biológicas: Los tesoros escondidos de un país mega-diverso

Abstract

Biological collections are true legacies of information that need to be supported, maintained and protected by the State and private institutions (Hill et al., 2012; Stucky et al., 2014). Not only are they the scientific reference site for the discovery of new species, but they are sites for the generation of knowledge in different fields (Winker, 2004; Matsunanga et al., 2013).
