The colonial legacy of herbaria [PDF]

Nature Human Behaviour, 2021
Abstract Herbarium collections shape our understanding of the world’s flora and are crucial for addressing global change and biodiversity conservation. The formation of such natural history collections, however, are not free from sociopolitical issues of immediate relevance. Despite increasing efforts addressing issues of representation
