Repositories of biocultural diversity: Toward best practices for empowering ethnobotany in digital herbaria

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Societal Impact Statement As herbaria digitize millions of plant specimens, ethnobotanical information associated with them is becoming increasingly accessible. These biocultural data include plant uses, names, and/or management practices of Indigenous Peoples and Local Communities (IPLCs).

Assessing the evolutionary distinctiveness of a highly threatened plant group: The urgency to preserve a unique lineage of evolution in Brazil

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Brazil's diverse flora is under several threats, with many unique lineages facing extinction, particularly in biodiverse regions like the Cerrado and campo rupestre. This study sheds light on the conservation needs of Cambessedesia (Melastomataceae), an endemic genus with 95% of its species endangered, using an approach to rank and prioritise species ...

Accelerating the prioritisation of plant species with underexplored medicinal potential: The pm4mp (Phylogenetic Methods for Medicinal Plants) R package

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Medicinal plants used in ethnobotanical traditions to treat or prevent diseases have gained renewed interest for their largely untapped potential in drug discovery. In this study, we developed and tested novel methods to prioritise plant species based on their unexplored medicinal potential. By enabling researchers to target the most promising species,

The pistil as a traffic light: Yellow‐to‐red color change likely influences pollinator visitation patterns in Saxifraga fortunei (Saxifragaceae)

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Flowers can communicate reproductive status to pollinators through visual cues. In Saxifraga fortunei, pistils often changed from yellow to red after pollination, and hoverflies and honeybees preferentially visited flowers with yellow pistils. This pattern suggests that a post‐pollination color shift confined to the pistil can reduce revisits to ...

Cultural Differences and Interdependencies in Climate Change Mitigation Efforts and Their Psychological Antecedents Across 63 Countries

Sustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Climate change research, like much of social science, is biased toward WEIRD (Western, Educated, Industrialized, Rich, Democratic) populations, limiting its global relevance. Even cross‐national studies often suffer from methodological inconsistencies due to cultural and geographic interdependencies.

Role of Hearing Loss Genes in the Sensory Epithelia Associated With Meniere Disease

Sensory Neuroscience, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Meniere disease (MD) is an inner ear disorder characterized by episodic vertigo, tinnitus, fluctuating sensorineural hearing loss (SNHL), and aural fullness. Its hallmark pathological feature is endolymphatic hydrops. MD shows significant familial clustering in European and East Asian populations, supporting a strong genetic component in ...

Assessing Capability Complexity Using Enterprise Architecture Framework

Systems Engineering, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study proposes a structured and quantitative methodology to evaluate the holistic complexity of system‐of‐systems (SoSs), employing the Zachman Architecture Framework (ZAF) as its foundational analytical tool. A five‐phase analytical procedure is developed and empirically validated, encompassing: (1) refinement of complexity measures, (2)
