“…Specimens and related data can be explored for a wide array of research including, for instance, taxonomical (e.g., Martin & Alexopoulos, 1969;Bebber et al, 2010;Petersen & Hughes, 2010), biogeographic (e.g., Wollan et al, 2008Lavoie, 2013;Ronikier & Ronikier, 2010), global change (Meineke, Davis & Davies, 2018) and conservation biology studies (Greve et al, 2016). Over last years, with an increasing development of DNA-based molecular methods in ecology and evolution, herbarium specimens have appeared as an invaluable material for phylogenetic analyses (e.g., Moncalvo et al, 2002;Fiore-Donno et al, 2012;Fiore-Donno et al, 2013;Kistenich et al, 2019). In particular, type collections provide key reference for molecular barcoding databases used in biodiversity and environmental studies and provide irreplaceable source of specimens based on which the species' name can be correctly applied (e.g., Larsson & Jacobsson, 2004;Lehtonen & Christenhusz, 2010;Chomicki & Renner, 2015;Dormontt et al, 2018).…”
