  • Biological Sciences

CONT

Although sophisticated data models have been developed to manage some information relevant to taxonomic research(e. g., natural history specimen information; descriptive data relating to morphological and molecular characters of specimens), similarly robust models for managing information about taxonomic names and how they are applied to taxonomic concepts, though they exist, have not attained widespread use and adoption

Aujourd’hui, rendre disponible les informations botaniques à partir d’une base de données, est un développement existant dans la plupart des herbiers du monde. Ces bases de données facilitent les analyses sur la biodiversité, de même que la recherche taxonomique et biogéographique.

Research into wood properties has been conducted at Oxford for over 50 years and the wood collection or xylarium now holds over 24, 750 wood samples. They represent approximately 8, 700 species, 2, 350 genera and 200 families. Microscope slides have been prepared for much of the collection, and the anatomical characteristics of every wood recorded on edge-punched cards. The collection of cards constitutes a key for the identification of hardwoods by their microscopic structure. It is used for taxonomic research and the identification of unknown specimens.
