Tracing holotype trajectories: Mapping the movement of the most valuable herbarium specimens
PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.Global efforts to protect biodiversity depend on fair access to key plant specimens. This study examines the distribution of 119,361 holotypes—unique herbarium specimens used to formally describe new plant species. By linking collection and storage data, we found that holotypes are increasingly held closer to their places of origin, particularly in ...

Engineering compact Physalis peruviana (goldenberry) to promote its potential as a global crop
PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.Goldenberry (Physalis peruviana) produces sweet, nutritionally rich berries, yet like many minor crops, is cultivated in limited geographical regions and has not been a focus of breeding programs for trait enhancement. Leveraging knowledge of plant architecture‐related traits from related species, we used CRISPR/Cas9‐mediated gene editing to generate a

UAVs unveil the role of small scale vegetation structure on wader nest survival
Remote Sensing in Ecology and Conservation, EarlyView.In this study, we combine high‐resolution vegetation structural metrics derived from unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) imagery with on‐field wader nest survival monitoring. We show that the immediate vegetation height and heterogeneity within a 2‐meter buffer surrounding the clutch of the recorded ground‐nesting wader species positively influenced its ...
