<div class="moz-cite-prefix">Good morning Lennart,</div>
<div class="moz-cite-prefix"><br>
</div>
<div class="moz-cite-prefix">what exactly do you mean with
"destroyed"? There may be different levels:</div>
<div class="moz-cite-prefix"><br>
</div>
<div class="moz-cite-prefix">Our collection had many losses during
the Second World War, specimens were considered "destroyed", but
some where apparently only "lost" and reappeared later and
re-discovered, e.g. in the teaching collection of the university.
Usually, you would refer to "destroyed", if there is proof.
Otherwise , it is better to say "missing" or "lost since" if the
specimen cannot be traced. We keep records for all (published)
historic specimens from our collection in our database (not only
the types), as we receive sporadically requests from scientists
for these specimens. Examples for the different stages of "lost"
missing" destroyed" are for example in <a moz-do-not-send="true"
href="https://pfeil-verlag.de/wp-content/uploads/2015/05/spix34_2_10.pdf">our
type catalogue</a> <br>
</div>
<div class="moz-cite-prefix"><br>
</div>
<div class="moz-cite-prefix">Also, if a specimen is destroyed, e.g.,
as a result of destructive sampling (tissue samples that are
entirely consumed with subsequently available DNA-data or DNA
aliquots, or none of both, because extractions fail etc.), you
would surely keep the records (in this case specifically,
especially for collections in the EU, because of the 20-year
reporting obligation in the EU ABS regulation).</div>
<div class="moz-cite-prefix"><br>
</div>
<div class="moz-cite-prefix"> Even when deaccessioning material, you
surely kept the files of this fact. <br>
</div>
<div class="moz-cite-prefix"><br>
</div>
<div class="moz-cite-prefix">So maybe this helps for you terminology
question, but I am not quite sure.</div>
<div class="moz-cite-prefix"><br>
</div>
<div class="moz-cite-prefix">With best wishes</div>
