- Title
Natural history 'collectors': exploring the ambiguities.
- Authors
Lucas, A. M.; Lucas, P. J.
- Abstract
There is more than one sense in which 'collector' can refer to the roles of participants in describing the natural world. Examples of botanical and zoological collectors and collections demonstrate these senses, which have been confused in the literature. Considering the provenance of specimens in a supply chain may be a more productive approach than attempting to categorise actors in that chain.
