PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.Botanical exploration, discovery and conservation rely heavily on access to herbarium collections. Recently, digital access to label information, including georeferenced locality data, and images of herbarium specimens available online have greatly increased usage of herbarium specimen data.

Linking to images and AI‐based identification tools—The only way for Flora projects to survive
PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.Floras are comprehensive and authoritative catalogues of plants growing in an area of interest. They help people find and name plants, which is achieved by a combination of images, drawings, and text, rarely also maps. Like other catalogues (lexica, dictionaries, telephone books), Floras will not survive unless they move online and become portable ...

Robotics‐assisted acoustic surveys could deliver reliable, landscape‐level biodiversity insights
Remote Sensing in Ecology and Conservation, EarlyView.Deploying and maintaining sensors is often a major bottleneck in collecting rapid biodiversity data. We tested whether autonomous hopping drones equipped with acoustic recorders could collect reliable biodiversity data in Costa Rica. Using 26,000+ hours of existing audio from 341 sites, with machine learning detections of 19 bird species and spider ...

Using time‐series remote sensing to identify and track individual bird nests at large scales
Remote Sensing in Ecology and Conservation, EarlyView.Time‐series airborne imagery can potentially track individuals over time to collect information beyond one‐off counts. Using weekly UAS‐based imagery of wading bird colonies, we develop an automated approach to identifying nests. Our algorithmic approach detected 68–74% of known nests and exhibited similar performance to human review of imagery ...

“There Are Places Full of Beauty”: Desettling High School Students' Scientific Writing
Science Education, EarlyView.ABSTRACT This study contributes to desettling and expanding expectations about the forms of scientific language that belong in students' scientific writing. The primary empirical focus is the analysis of 52 high school student abstracts articulating community‐based investigations, submitted as part of their participation in a student conference in a ...
