Academic Article

abstract:
Photographs and other images are useful, important, and excellent tools. Photographs can serve as proxys for the
types (as many old illustrations do) and aid in their interpretation. Photographs and video recordings, however, cannot
and should not BE type specimens. Biological type specimens must exist in actual, not virtual reality.
