Exploring Costa Rica's fungal trends: Insights from digitized specimens

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, Volume 8, Issue 4, Page 1256-1274, July 2026.
Fungi are essential to tropical ecosystems but remain largely absent from conservation agendas. By analyzing over 78,000 fungal records from Costa Rica—a globally recognized biodiversity hotspot—this study reveals key patterns in fungal diversity, distribution, and seasonality.

Exploring the legal, policy, ethical and practical implications of digitisation of botanical and fungal collections

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, Volume 8, Issue 4, Page 1076-1086, July 2026.
Societal Impact Statement Dried plant and fungal specimens held in collections provide a unique asset to understand the natural world and inform conservation approaches. By creating freely available, digital images of these collections, these specimens can be used by more scientists from around the globe to ask research questions and apply new ...

Climate change‐driven expansion of goosegrass highlights risks to global food production

Pest Management Science, Volume 82, Issue 7, Page 6494-6508, July 2026.
Climate change is expanding the climatic suitability of Eleusine indica into temperate agricultural regions, increasing its overlap with major soybean and maize production areas. These findings highlight a growing global threat to food security and the need for proactive weed management strategies.

Flow‐pattern evolution of the Scandinavian Ice Sheet indicated by the subglacial lineation record over Norway, Sweden and Finland

Boreas, Volume 55, Issue 3, Page 612-669, July 2026.
We present a 25‐stage reconstruction of the ice‐flow pattern evolution of the Scandinavian Ice Sheet based on mapping and analysis of ~240 000 subglacial lineations and lineation fields across Norway, Sweden, Finland, and parts of NW Russia. Our reconstruction uses a glacial geomorphological inversion approach, in which we generated 611 individual ...

Setting Priorities for the Acquisition of Primary Plant Occurrence Data

Diversity and Distributions, Volume 32, Issue 7, July 2026.
ABSTRACT Aim Effective implementation of the Global Biodiversity Framework and Global Strategy for Plant Conservation relies on accurate species distribution data. However, current vascular plant distribution data are often sparse and biased, requiring significant expansion.

Defaunation Maps for Tropical Mammals and Birds

Global Ecology and Biogeography, Volume 35, Issue 7, July 2026.
ABSTRACT Motivation Overhunting is a major driver of defaunation in tropical ecosystems, yet its impacts and spatial extent remain challenging to quantify through conventional remote sensing approaches. Novel modelling frameworks based on quantitative relationships between impacts on wildlife populations and the main drivers of hunting pressure have ...

Metrics for Geometrids: Phylogenetic Diversity of European Sterrhinae (Geometridae, Lepidoptera)

Journal of Biogeography, Volume 53, Issue 7, July 2026.
ABSTRACT Aim Phylogenetic diversity, structure and endemism of European Sterrhinae were investigated for the first time and interpreted in relation to species richness, latitude and mean annual temperature. Furthermore, ecological trait data for each species were analysed in a spatial context. Location Europe. Taxon Sterrhinae (Geometridae, Lepidoptera)

Specimen‐tailored ‘lived’ climate reveals precipitation onset and amount best predict specimen phenology, but only weakly predict estimated reproduction across a clade

New Phytologist, Volume 251, Issue 2, Page 768-781, July 2026.
Summary Herbarium specimens are widely distributed in space and time, thereby capturing diverse conditions. We reconstructed specimen ‘lived’ climate from knowledge of germination cues and collection dates for 14 annual species in the Streptanthus (s.l.) clade (Brassicaceae) to ask: which climate attributes best explain specimen phenological stage and ...

Documenting biodiversity with digital data: comparing and contrasting the efficacy of specimen‐based and observation‐based approaches

New Phytologist, Volume 251, Issue 2, Page 721-736, July 2026.
Summary Digitized herbarium specimens and iNaturalist observations provide invaluable plant biodiversity data. Combining these two data sources could create a more holistic representation of local biodiversity; however, understanding biases inherent to each is critical to determine how to best combine and utilize these data.
