Two centuries of Begonia exploration in the Philippines: Progress and challenges associated with a megadiverse genus in the Global South

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Megadiverse genera represent the highest concentration of plant diversity, but these plants are also located primarily in countries in the Global South where huge gaps in botanical knowledge remain. This study summarized two centuries of Begonia collection records in the Philippines to show how historical events coincide with collection and taxonomic ...

Synthetic Imagery Improves Ecological Classification When Real Data Are Scarce, Not Direct Substitutes

Remote Sensing in Ecology and Conservation, EarlyView.
Image generation models can create synthetic ecological datasets and potentially alleviate limitations from sparse real data. Using 20 tree genera across community‐science and street‐view imagery, we tested whether synthetic images could replace or supplement real data for image classification.
