The geographical location where a type specimen was originally found is known as its type locality. In the case of parasites, the term type host (or symbiotype) is used to indicate the host organism from which the type specimen was obtained.

Type locality may refer to: Type locality (biology) Type locality (geology) Type site (in archaeology)

In biology, a type is a specimen, or example, of a specific living thing or taxon, which is a group of specific living things. For example, if a scientist catches one frog that is not any species of frog that scientists already know, then that frog is the type of a new species of frog.

Type locality, also called type area, is the locality where a particular rock type, stratigraphic unit or mineral species is first identified. [1] If the stratigraphic unit in a locality is layered, it is called a stratotype, whereas the standard of reference for unlayered rocks is the type locality. [2] The concept is similar to type site in ...

2020年7月15日 · Every species described was first described from a specimen collected at a specific location - the Type Locality. This specimen is known as the Holotype. Over the years some Holotypes are lost and with them their collecting data, including the type location, or it was never recorded.

Although it may sound like what taxonomists ask each other on a first date, a type locality refers to the location where a species is first identified. Etymology: Type locality is made up of the Ancient Greek word typos, meaning “image,” among other things, and the Latin word localis, meaning “pertaining to a place.”

The type locality of a nominal species-group taxon is the geographical (and, where relevant, stratigraphical) place of capture, collection or observation of the name-bearing type; if there are syntypes and no lectotype has been designated, the type locality encompasses the localities of all of them [Art. 73.2.3].

2020年9月21日 · type locality (plural type localities) ( geology ) The location, usually where the first specimen was discovered , considered most representative of a mineral , formation etc. ( taxonomy ) The location where a nomenclatural or name-bearing type was collected.

In biology, a type is a particular specimen (or in some cases a group of specimens) of an organism to which the scientific name of that organism is formally attached. In other words, a type is an example that serves to anchor or centralize the defining features of that particular taxon .
