Tracing holotype trajectories: Mapping the movement of the most valuable herbarium specimens

open access: yesPLANTS, 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 ...

Digitizing collections to unlock the full potential of palynology: A case study with the Smithsonian palynology collection

open access: yesPLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Large palynological collections have been built over decades and contain vital information. However, they are often difficult to access and use effectively. What is the point of having such collections if they are not fully utilizable? To solve this problem, we digitized the Smithsonian palynological collection using both light and confocal microscopy.

Small grassland patches are hotspots for medicinal plants and associated phytochemical diversity in European agricultural landscapes

open access: yesPLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Besides being important components of landscape‐level biodiversity, medicinal plants are essential resources for traditional and modern healthcare. However, human‐driven biodiversity loss has resulted in the decline of medicinal plant populations. By maintaining connections between nature, culture, and people, sacred natural sites can help counteract ...

Quantifying urban tree canopy cooling capacity using Bayesian hierarchical models and satellite imagery

open access: yesPLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Cities are getting hotter because of climate change and urban development, increasing risks to health and well‐being. We analyzed how increasing urban tree canopy cover in city areas of 900 m2 can reduce land surface temperatures, using detailed aerial‐LiDAR and satellite data with Bayesian hierarchical models.

Range‐wide sampling reveals cryptic lineages but largely conserved mycorrhizal associations in the Japanese fairy lantern Thismia kobensis

open access: yesPLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
The jewel‐like flowers of Thismia are as rare as they are beautiful, often recorded from only a single site per species. Access to 15 populations of T. kobensis has enabled an uncommon, range‐wide assessment of morphology, genetics, and fungal partners. Our analyses showed that T.
