Biodiversity science is improved when silent herbaria speak

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, Volume 8, Issue 4, Page 1378-1386, July 2026.
Herbaria in the Global South are critical yet underutilized resources for biodiversity science and often absent from international databases and research networks. We highlight the phenomenon of “silent herbaria” using Nigeria as a case study and quantify how these collections fill important gaps in global biodiversity knowledge.

Research infrastructure challenges in preparing essential biodiversity variables data products for alien invasive species

Environmental Research Letters, 2019
Essential biodiversity variables (EBV) are information products for assessing biodiversity change. Species populations EBVs are one class of EBVs that can be used to monitor the spread of invasive species.

Digitisation of herbarium specimens to the benefit of research: An African perspective focusing on South Africa and Western Indian Ocean Island states

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, Volume 8, Issue 4, Page 1042-1056, July 2026.
Botanical exploration, discovery and conservation rely heavily on access to herbarium collections. Recently, digital access to label information, including georeferenced locality data, and images of herbarium specimens available online have greatly increased usage of herbarium specimen data.

Integrating species metrics into biodiversity offsetting calculations to improve long‐term persistence

, 2022
Several methods of measuring biodiversity in development-offset trades exist. However, there is little consensus on which biodiversity metrics should be used for quantifying development impacts and assigning offsets. We simulated development impacts in a

An updated checklist of the Tenebrionidae sec. Bousquet et al. 2018 of the Algodones Dunes of California, with comments on checklist data practices

Biodiversity Data Journal, 2018
Generating regional checklists for insects is frequently based on combining data sources ranging from literature and expert assertions that merely imply the existence of an occurrence to aggregated, standard-compliant data of uniquely identified ...

Occupancy‐derived thermal affinities reflect known physiological thermal limits of marine species

Ecology and Evolution, 2020
Predicting how species will respond to increased environmental temperatures is key to understanding the ecological consequences of global change. The physiological tolerances of a species define its thermal limits, while its thermal affinity is a summary

The promise of digital herbarium specimens in large‐scale phenology research

New Phytologist, Volume 251, Issue 2, Page 617-624, July 2026.
Summary The online mobilization of herbaria has made tens of millions of specimens digitally available, revolutionizing investigations of phenology and plant responses to climate change. We identify two main themes associated with this growing body of research and highlight a selection of recent publications exemplifying: investigating phenology at ...
