“…This issue is particularly severe for rare and valuable specimens such as holotypes, which can be difficult to access despite their scientific importance. In recognition of these limitations, significant efforts have been underway to digitise natural history collections (Beaman & Cellinese, 2012;Blagoderov et al, 2012;Mantle, La Salle & Fisher, 2012;Nguyen et al, 2017Nguyen et al, , 2014Hudson et al, 2015;Martins et al, 2015;Galantucci, Pesce & Lavecchia, 2016;Erolin, Jarron & Csetenyi, 2017;Ströbel et al, 2018;Galantucci, Guerra & Lavecchia, 2018;Qian et al, 2019;Brecko & Mathys, 2020). Such a cybertaxonomy has been predicted to revolutionise collaborative taxonomy, and fundamentally change formal and public taxonomic education (Zhang, Gao & Caelli, 2010;Wheeler et al, 2012).…”
