The National Herbarium [PDF]

open access: bronzeNature, 1872
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 herbarium of the future

open access: yesTrends in Ecology & Evolution, 2023
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]

open access: yesNat Commun
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]

open access: yesBiodiversity Data Journal
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 ...

Quantifying error in occurrence data: Comparing the data quality of iNaturalist and digitized herbarium specimen data in flowering plant families of the southeastern United States

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2023
iNaturalist has the potential to be an extremely rich source of organismal occurrence data. Launched in 2008, it now contains over 150 million uploaded observations as of May 2023.

Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy as a non-destructive method for analysing herbarium specimens

open access: yesBiology Letters, 2023
Dried plant specimens stored in herbaria are an untapped treasure chest of information on environmental conditions, plant evolution and change over many hundreds of years.

A comparison of freezer‐stored DNA and herbarium tissue samples for chloroplast assembly and genome skimming

open access: yesApplications in Plant Sciences, 2023
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.

Environment‐dependent influence of fruit size upon the distribution of the Malesian archipelagic flora

open access: yesPlants, People, Planet, 2023
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.

open access: yesAnnals of Botany, 2022
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 ...
