Using large language models to automate herbarium specimen transcription: A case study at the Missouri Botanical Garden

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Biological specimens housed in natural history collections are indispensable resources for documenting where species occur and how they have changed through time, and are thus vital for combating biodiversity loss. Digitization of these collections promises to make these critical resources globally available.

Big Bird: A global dataset of birds in drone imagery annotated to species level

Remote Sensing in Ecology and Conservation, EarlyView.
Drones are a valuable tool for surveying birds, but manually detecting and identifying birds in drone images is costly. We assembled a diverse dataset of 23 865 images of birds captured with 21 different drones across 11 countries. We labelled 4824 of these images, detailing the location, species, posture category, age category, and sex of 49 990 birds

Combination of 3D Micro Contact Printing and Scraping Technique for Site Selective Cocultivation Across a Porous Micro Structured Scaffold

Small, EarlyView.
The study by Brauer et al. presents an operationally simple scraping technique in combination with 3D‐µCP to generate 3D cell patterns on both, front and the reverse side of a micro thermoformed substrate. It can be used to study cell‐to‐cell crosstalk at the microlevel with topographies similar to real tissue. Abstract 3D‐microcontact printing (3D‐µCP)
