PERMIT me, in your columns, to give shortly the grounds upon which I made the statement that no herbarium of any kind existed at Kew Gardens during the time of the Aitons, but that the Banksian Herbarium was often, and for a long time systematically, used for naming the Kew plants (NATURE, Oct. 3, 1872, p. 450), which statement is thus dealt with by Dr.

The ~400 million specimens deposited across ~3000 herbaria are essential for: (i) understanding where plants have lived in the past, (ii) forecasting where they may live in the future, and (iii) delineating their conservation status. An open access 'global metaherbarium' is emerging as these specimens are digitized, mobilized, and interlinked online ...

Herbarium collections remain essential in the age of community science. [PDF]
The past decade has yielded more biodiversity observations from community science than the past century of traditional scientific collection. This rapid influx of data is promising for overcoming critical biodiversity data shortfalls, but we also have ...

The digitisation workflow of the herbarium of the State Museum of Natural History of the NAS of Ukraine (LWS) [PDF]
The digitisation workflow currently applied at the Herbarium of the State Museum of Natural History of the National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine (LWS) differs from other similar by cascade ('object-to-data-to-image') multilevel organisation ...

Premise The use of DNA from herbarium specimens is an increasingly important source for evolutionary studies in plant biology, particularly in cases where species are rare or difficult to obtain.

Societal Impact Statement We found evidence that larger fruited plant species are more likely to be found in aseasonal wet areas of Malesia. These areas are likely to be impacted by increasing human encroachment, which threatens both large‐fruited ...

Tracking population genetic signatures of local extinction with herbarium specimens.
BACKGROUND AND AIMS Habitat degradation and landscape fragmentation dramatically lower population sizes of rare plant species. Decreasing population sizes may, in turn, negatively affect genetic diversity and reproductive fitness which can ultimately ...
