Digitising biological collections to advance National Species Inventories: A case study from the flora of Chile
PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.In response to Chile's public policy to establish a national biodiversity inventory and monitoring system, we launched the HerbarioDigital.cl portal. We have digitised over 120,000 specimens representing more than 3,900 species from two Chilean herbaria, integrating them through a curated local taxonomic index.Ricardo A. Segovia, Juan M.

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.Despite growing investment in restoration, weak accountability and poor biodiversity monitoring mean many projects fail to achieve ecological recovery. The Global Biodiversity Standard (TGBS) offers a practical way to ensure that restoration finance delivers measurable gains for nature.David Bartholomew, Paul Smith, Marcello De Vitis, George Gann, Amarizni Mosyaftiani, Hadeel Abdalqader, Lawrence Abel, Lucy Adhimabo, Anita Aerts, Laxmi Aggarwal, Raheela Ahmed, Silvia Alvarez‐Clare, Tefy Andriamihajarivo, Annelies Andringa‐Davis, Harshavardhini Angappan, Jose Aranda‐Pineda, Ibone Arregi, William Baker, Kiran Baldwin, Ash Baron, Graciela Barreiro, Megan Barstow, Dunia Basciu, Sandagdorj Bayarkhuu, Nienke Beets, Alejandro Bejerano, Inna Birchenko, Chris Birkinshaw, Irene Bisang, Stephen Blackmore, Aaron Boers, Roderick Bouman, Richard Bradley, Pedro Brancalion, Elinor Breman, Elise Buisson, Collins Bulafu, Antonia Burchard‐Levine, David Burslem, Rainer Bussmann, Anna Calle‐Loor, Clare Callow, Cameron Covill, Christian Camara, Vito Emanuele Cambria, Fernanda Cardoso, David Carr, Fabian Carriconde, Naomi Carvey, Theodora Chan, Genevieve Chavarot, Mang Cheuk, Tarun Chhabra, Vivek Chopra, Brett Chrystal, Emily Coffey, Rebecca Cole, Brian Colleran, Adriana Comte, Matteo Contardo, Carly Cowell, Dimitri D'helft, Anabel da Gama, Sarah Dalrymple, Guilherme de Castro Ramos, Andrés De la Rosa Portilla, Sebsebe Demissew, Richard Deverell, Mauricio Diazgranados, Sharif Durzi, Elizabeth Dutra, Thomas Erler, Lauren Eserman, Ilaria Fantozzi, José Fernández Zeballos, Anne‐Marie Frankland, Ethan Freid, Pierre Gaches, Stephan Gale, Rachael Gallagher, Marta Galloni, Maraeva Gianella, Andrew Gichira, Moses Gichua, Thomas Gichuru, André Giles, Teresa Girao da Cruz, Orlik Gomez Garcia, Susan Gould, Barbara Gravendeel, Coskun Guclu, Stephane Hallaire, Kate Hardwick, Yvette Harvey‐Brown, Olivier Hasinger, Billy Hau, Kayri Havens, Mats Havström, James Hearsum, Melanie Heath, Andrew Hector, Viola Heinrich, Robert Heinzman, Ryan Hills, Michele Hofmeyr, Karen Holl, Daniel Hribar, Alex Hudson, Stanislav Hybler, Mael Jaonasy, Sebastian Javan, Jonathan Jenkins, Xiaohua Jin, Wincate Kagane, David Karanja Wambui, Yogita Karpate, Olga Kildisheva, Roeland Kindt, Anneleen Kool, Christian Kroll, Yayan Kusuma, Katia Laffusa, Tom LeBreton, Stacey Libra, Alona Linatoc, Cristina Lopez‐Gallego, Quentin Luke, Víctor Luna Monterrojo, Gunwant Mahajan, Itambo Malombe, José Mamani, Gustavo Martinelli, Raul Martinez, Beatriz Maruri‐Aguilar, María Mata Quirós, Donna McGinnis, Wander Meijer, Simon Milne, Marilou Montemayor, Paul Morris, Micah Muema, David Mulwa, Teresiah Mungai, Mutegeki Musa, January Muthoka, Tobin Mutiso, James Mwamodenyi, Abdo Nassar, Jennifer Neale, Angie Ng, Veronicah Ngumbau, Madhura Niphadkar, Fadhili Njilima, Randrianarivony Noromalalaharivelo, Ari Novy, Florence O'Sullivan, Alfonso Orellana‐Garcia, Victor Otieno, Range Palodang, Ignacio Pascual, Mykhailo Paslavskyi, Kato Paul, Jennifer Peach, Norma Piedra Leandro, Chris Polatin, Zulukumzuk Pongen, Thibaud Poulain, Jessica Prieto, Johny Rabenantoandro, Sanjana Radhakrishnan, Jeannie Raharimampionona, Fortunat Rakotoarivony, Brice Rakotozafy, Toky Ralainaorina, Narindra Ramahefamanana, Navalona Ramanambohitra, Kali Ramirez, Eliana Ramos, Fidisoa Ratovoson, Simplice Razafindranaivo, Lalao Razafitsalama, Paul Reed, Leighton Reid, Darren Reidy, Hai Ren, Carole Renner, Jorge Reyes‐Betancort, Candace Reynolds, Iñigo Ricalde, Malin Rivers, Ranaivo Roger, Katherine Ross, Lucy Rowland, Jennifer Rowntree, Michael Roy, Jimmy Rui V., Jan Sala, Narkis Morales San Martín, Emiliano Sánchez Martínez, Duncan Sanders, Ayebare Saviour, Nicola Schoenenberger, Udo Schwarzer, Assini Silvia, Eliud Simfukwe, Monal Singh, Toral Shah, Nancy Shaw, George Smith, Linnea Spears‐Lebrun, Vanja Stamenkovic, Paul Stuart‐Smith, Wawan Sujarwo, Brett Summerell, Alex Summers, Michael Szuter, Mariana Tadey, Hatem Taifour, Vikash Tatayah, Evert Thomas, Stewart Thompson, Anselme Tilahimena, Gilles Tilman, Adriane Tobias, Peter Tomsovic, Michael Toohill, Hanna Tornevall, Nami Traeholt, Mathews Tsirizeni, Michelle Tustin, Collins Tweheyo, Tiziana Ulian, Estela Vallejo, Pieter van Midwoud, Flor Vázquez Corzas, Laura Vedovato, Sarina Veldman, Yuriy Vergeles, Danilo Viana Lima, Andrew Vovides, Piet Vroeg, James Walsh, Aparna Watve, Leland Werden, Murphy Westwood, Oliver Whaley, Aru Wiecek, Brett Wilson, Dustin Wolkis, Hailu Wondu, Peter Wyse Jackson, Michael Yadrick Jr., Wei Yan, Pamela Zevit, Juliana Zuluaga Carrero +254 morewiley +1 more sourceFrom traditional practice to unsustainable exploitation: Fruit overharvesting on the endangered relict palm Jubaea chilensis
PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.Overharvesting of wild edible plants poses a growing threat to plant populations worldwide, particularly for slow‐growing species with limited regeneration. We quantified fruit extraction from the third‐largest known population of Jubaea chilensis—an endangered palm endemic to Chile—modeled the critical harvest threshold, and assessed consumer ...Sebastián Cordero, Francisca Gálvez, Marisol Arriagada‐Honores, Andrés Jesús Garrido, Daniela Paredes‐Muñoz, Bastián Fuentes‐Valdés, Fernanda Torres‐Cifuentes, Francisco E.

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.Native wild plants are key elements in addressing global biodiversity loss and supporting sustainable food systems. We investigated how rural communities in Mexico manage Chamaedorea tepejilote, a wild palm with edible male inflorescences, by combining ethnobotanical, genetic, morphological and ecological approaches.Viviana Andrade, Alejandro Casas, Edna Arévalo‐Marín, Gonzalo D.

Pest Management Science, EarlyView.Gene‐specific double‐stranded RNAs effectively silence essential genes in the invasive citrus pest Delottococcus aberiae, leading to significant mortality through both microinjection and oral delivery. These results provide proof of concept for RNA interference‐based biopesticides as selective and sustainable tools for citrus integrated pest management.Carolina Gallego‐Giraldo, Alberto Urbaneja, Omar Ruíz‐Rivero, Verónica Aragonés, Marie Guijarro‐Guijarro, José‐Antonio Daròs, Meritxell Perez‐Hedo +6 morewiley +1 more sourceClimate change‐driven expansion of goosegrass highlights risks to global food production
Pest Management Science, EarlyView.Climate change is expanding the climatic suitability of Eleusine indica into temperate agricultural regions, increasing its overlap with major soybean and maize production areas.

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 Joshua P.
