<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif">If specimens are cited in a study, then they’re vouchers for that study. Whether people later use different techniques to analyze them than were used in the original study
(or no-one ever looks at them again) does not alter their status. The whole point of keeping vouchers is to allow reassessment of hypotheses that are based on them by reassembling the original evidence. The voucher sleeps until the hypothesis is reexamined
(or, in Latourian terms, the “black box” is reopened). <o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif">To call DNA snips “vouchers” just because they allow a certain kind of analysis is a misnomer; if the specimen itself is a voucher for an expedition then the snip is part of
that voucher. Otherwise, cutting the snip and keeping it frozen is just an alternate form of preservation, the same as keeping a shell in with the shells and its mounted radula in with the microscope slides.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

such are not “vouchers” for the study? (Yes, I know that they’re typically listed in the monograph and on the annotation label as “specimen(s) examined” or similar, but I have considered them to be vouchers in that their measurements, DNA sequences, etc confirm
the data presented in the descriptions in the monograph or other similar work.)<o:p></o:p></span></p>
