The potential of seedbank digital information in plant conservation

open access: yesPLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Seedbanks are vital for biodiversity conservation, but their potential remains underutilised due to a limited understanding of the intraspecific genetic diversity they hold. By leveraging digitised data associated with seedbank collections, such as sampling locations, number of maternal plants and seed traits, we can attempt the estimation of genetic ...

How digitisation of herbaria reveals the botanical legacy of the First World War

open access: yesPLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Digitisation of herbarium collections is bringing greater understanding to bear on the complexity of narratives relating to the First World War and its aftermath – scientific and societal. Plant collecting during the First World War was more widespread than previously understood, contributed to the psychological well‐being of those involved and ...

Detecting extirpation: A localized approach to a global problem

open access: yesPLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
The global biodiversity crisis stems from a cascading series of extirpations driving species toward extinction. Addressing this crisis requires methods for early detection of extinction at local scales, where communities can mobilize conservation efforts.

From traditional knowledge to market: A pathway for ethical commercialisation of Indigenous food products

open access: yesPLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Global legal frameworks seek to ensure that benefits arising from the use of biological resources are shared fairly, yet their practical application—particularly where plant materials and Indigenous knowledge are involved—remains challenging. This article presents a case study modelling a pathway for ethical research and commercialisation of Indigenous
