The extension of the taxon cycle model to island plants: insights from the Canarian vascular flora

open access: yesBiological Reviews, Volume 101, Issue 4, Page 2053-2076, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Taxon cycle models describe eco‐evolutionary patterns of lineage colonization, diversification, and decline across archipelagos, inferring an important role for competition amongst ecologically similar taxa in driving concurrent niche changes.

Evaluation of the e‐Surveyor Mobile Application for Undertaking Plant Surveys and Predicting Habitat Type

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 7, July 2026.
We evaluated the accuracy of the e‐Surveyor mobile application, which includes automated identification for plant species and habitat prediction. We compared species lists collected by citizen scientists using the application in the field with data recorded by expert botanists. Most citizen scientists were able to accurately identify almost half of the

Research on the Mechanism of Natural Products Acting on Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease

open access: yesFood Science &Nutrition, Volume 14, Issue 7, July 2026.
This figure illustrates that approximately 80 natural compounds exert therapeutic effects against chronic obstructive pulmonary disease by targeting pathological mechanisms such as airway inflammation, oxidative stress, airway remodeling, mucus hypersecretion, emphysema, protease–antiprotease imbalance, apoptosis, and autophagy.

Leveraging machine learning and citizen science data to describe flowering phenology across South Africa

open access: yesPLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, Volume 8, Issue 4, Page 1132-1144, July 2026.
Recent shifts in flowering times are an index of, and a response to, human driven climate change. However, most information on these flowering changes is heavily skewed to the northern hemisphere. This imbalance limits our understanding of how climate change is affecting ecosystems, including the mismatches of flowering times between species, increased

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

open access: yesPLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, Volume 8, Issue 4, Page 1116-1131, July 2026.
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.

Life after herbarium digitisation: Physical and digital collections, curation and use

open access: yesPLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, Volume 8, Issue 4, Page 1029-1041, July 2026.
Societal Impact Statement Collections of dried plant specimens (herbaria) provide an invaluable resource for the study of many areas of scientific interest and conservation globally. Digitisation increases access to specimens and metadata, enabling efficient use across a broad spectrum of research.

Digitising biological collections to advance National Species Inventories: A case study from the flora of Chile

open access: yesPLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, Volume 8, Issue 4, Page 1210-1222, July 2026.
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.
