Abstract
[spa] Las grandes colecciones de especímenes de insectos conservadas en seco tienen, igual que todos los objetos considerados bienes culturales y científicos, unos factores y mecanismos propios de degradación.
Debido a la gran importancia de estos ejemplares para la investigación y adquisición de conocimientos del mundo entomológico, es de vital importancia identificar y contrarrestar los elementos que provocan su degradación. Existe una serie de medidas preventivas y tratamientos que se pueden aplicar a los ejemplares entomológicos para conservar su integridad científica y visual, pero es imprescindible tener en cuenta que estos métodos no deben alterar las características morfológicas y moleculares de los ejemplares, ya que se provocaría una pérdida de su valor científico.
[eng] As all objects considered cultural and scientific assets, large collections of pinned insect specimens have their own factors and mechanisms of degradation. Due to the great importance of these specimens for research and gaining of knowledge about the entomological world, it is of vital importance to identify and counteract the elements that cause their degradation. There is a series of preventative measures and treatments that can be applied to entomological specimens to preserve their scientific and visual integrity, but it is essential to bear in mind that these methods should not alter the morphological and molecular characteristics of the specimens, since it would cause a significant loss of their scientific value.
