Figure 1 in Value and impacts of collecting vertebrate voucher specimens, with guidelines for ethical collection
Figure 1. Geographic distribution of Museum Victoria's non-marine Victorian vertebrate specimens. Each pixel represents the number of specimens collected within a 100 km2 grid (10 x 10 km square) from the earliest georeferenced specimen (collected in 1858) to 2012, spanning 154 years. Yellow, green, light blue, and dark blue pixels represent single (1), low (2 – 10), moderate (11 – 100), and high (> 100) numbers of specimens, respectively. White pixels represent areas with no specimens. Histograms represent the number of specimens by decade.
