iNaturalist Users Exhibit Distinct Spatiotemporal Sampling Preferences, with Implications for Biodiversity Science and Project Planning

Citizen Science: Theory and Practice
Biodiversity-focused contributory science platforms generate massive quantities of opportunistic records for research, but data are spatially, temporally, and taxonomically biased. While research attempting to quantify these biases abounds, less is known

Lectotypifications and taxonomic changes in the holoparasitic Orobanchaceae

Nordic Journal of Botany, EarlyView.
Based on further extensive studies of specimens in various herbaria, lectotypes are designated for many taxa of holoparasitic Orobanchaceae. In particular, 47 names in the genera Boschniakia (incl. Xylanche), Cistanche, Orobanche, Phelipanche and Phelypaea are lectotypified.

Does adding community science observations to museum records improve distribution modeling of a rare endemic plant?

Ecosphere, 2023
Understanding the ranges of rare and endangered species is central to conserving biodiversity in the Anthropocene. Species distribution models (SDMs) have become a common and powerful tool for analyzing species–environment relationships across geographic

The iNaturalist Species Classification and Detection Dataset [PDF]

, 2018
Existing image classification datasets used in computer vision tend to have a uniform distribution of images across object categories. In contrast, the natural world is heavily imbalanced, as some species are more abundant and easier to photograph than ...

Reinstatement and generic reassignment of Phyllanthus asteranthos Croizat (Phyllanthaceae) based on living plant observations and specimen analysis

Nordic Journal of Botany, EarlyView.
Phyllanthus asteranthos Croizat has been treated as a synonym of P. pulcher Wall. ex Müll. Arg. (syn. Nymphanthus glaucescens (Miq.) R.W.Bouman) since 1987. Through detailed morphological observations of living plants and critical examinations of type materials and additional specimens, this study revealed that the two taxa are morphologically very ...

Distribution under climate change of Anemone coronaria: linking flower colour and seed dispersal

Nordic Journal of Botany, EarlyView.
Flower colour polymorphism is driven by divergent selection regimes on the colour morphs across time and space. Anemone coronaria, a colour‐polymorphic geophyte with red, purple, and white flowers, displays a geographic pattern along Israel's aridity gradient: polymorphic populations are restricted to Mediterranean climates, while monomorphic‐red ...
