Type locality (biology): Standards, Applications, Art & Science

A type locality is the place where the name-bearing type specimen – the particular specimen that formally anchors the scientific name – of a species or subspecies was collected, captured, or first observed. In zoology, the term is formally defined by the International Code of Zoological Nomenclature (ICZN), which ties the type locality directly to the…
