Guidance on the collection of freshwater mussel (Bivalvia: Unionida) vouchers within Canada / by Todd J. Morris, Andre L. Martel, Greg Wilson, Margaret N. Goguen, Kelly A. McNichols-O'Rourke, Julia E....Fs97-4/3241E-PDF

"Collection of voucher specimens is an essential component of scientific investigation. Voucher specimens improve the integrity of collected data as the records can be independently and repeatably verified. Ideally a physical voucher will be collected for every species at every collection site however, limitations on processing time, storage capacity in the field and in archives, and permitting requirements when working with rare species may favour the collection of high quality digital vouchers in some circumstances. General guidance on the collection of physical and digital vouchers for freshwater mussels (Unionida) is provided and specific voucher requirements for all species found in Canada is provided. Examples of acceptable digital vouchers are also presented"--Abstract, page iv.
