Museum specimens have been collected over many years — sometimes centuries — and those jars of frogs, lizards and most often, tissue samples, are used now as much as ever. “Museums provide scientists with ready access to several kinds of biological materials such as preserved specimens that can be used for molecular analysis of tissues, as well as digital images for anatomical studies, which can all be used to understand and document biodiversity, for taxonomic research, and even understanding the impact of climate change on various species,” writes Don Lyman for npub1xdlrdcf8gpezegsyumrtx4wzyde3yq3k8x3702ea6ptdayx82c8swttp2q (npub1xdl…tp2q).
