It could be a reporter from some sort of journal investigation the research, or the researcher himself, or simply some one giving notofocation.

Informer and informant are good translations in other context, but they imply reporting illegal activities, and there is no evidence of that here.

Asker: I used informant throughouth the document since this was coming from a survey where informants were supplying such record of species, but record was the term that suited in this case, thanks for your suggestion.

Asker: Thank you for your suggestion, I used informant throughout the translation so that was my choice here too, however I decided for record instead of list for then I could keep the same initials for the formula using this "registro"
