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.

The women honoured in flowering plant genera: From myth to reality
PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, Volume 7, Issue 6, Page 1845-1857, November 2025.Many flowering plant genera are named for people, but there is a gender gap in this naming, with only 6% of eponyms honouring women. Here we explore this gap by examining in detail women for whom plant genera are named. Our open shared dataset serves to make women honoured in plant genera more discoverable, resulting in further impact by allowing ...
