Turning a new leaf: PhenoVision provides leaf phenology data at the global scale

Applications in Plant Sciences, EarlyView.
Abstract Premise Plant phenology dictates many aspects of community function and ecosystem dynamics. Yet, global phenology data are still limited, especially in areas lacking monitoring programs. Here we present a new data resource, PhenoVision–Leaf, which extends a computer vision pipeline utilizing iNaturalist digital image vouchers to produce global‐

BarnebyLives: An R package to create herbarium specimen labels and clean spreadsheets

Applications in Plant Sciences, EarlyView.
Abstract Premise Accessioning herbarium specimens is labor intensive, yet remains vital for research in ecology, evolution, and conservation. As institutional support for herbaria declines, efficient tools are needed to streamline this process. The R package BarnebyLives was developed to assist collectors by supplementing collection notes, verifying ...

Petal to the metal: The slow road to automating large‐scale phenology labeling for herbarium specimens

Applications in Plant Sciences, EarlyView.
Abstract Premise Herbarium specimens represent critical historical records of plant phenology, yet automating annotation of reproductive structures remains challenging given the diversity of floral morphologies, specimen age and quality, and image quality.

Are there morpho‐acoustic patterns of adaptation in nonhuman primate ears? Testing the role of ecology and habitat in shaping ear morphology and function

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Analysis of the variation in the bony structures of the inner and middle ear provides critical insights into functional morphology, as well as adaptive morphology across primates. In this study, we investigated whether ear morphology patterns are related to the ecological characteristics of species and their habitats to test two acoustic ...
