Automated extraction of leaf mass per area from digitized herbarium specimens
New Phytologist, EarlyView.Summary The digitization of vast herbarium collections has made millions of plant specimen images freely available online, which can now be used to generate phenotypic datasets of unprecedented scope. Here, we assess the potential of computer vision tools to automate the extraction of predicted leaf mass per area (LMApred) from digitized herbarium ...

New Phytologist, EarlyView.Summary Herbarium specimens are widely distributed in space and time, thereby capturing diverse conditions. We reconstructed specimen ‘lived’ climate from knowledge of germination cues and collection dates for 14 annual species in the Streptanthus (s.l.) clade (Brassicaceae) to ask: which climate attributes best explain specimen phenological stage and ...

New Phytologist, EarlyView.Summary Evidence for the ongoing biodiversity crisis rests on assessment of a small fraction of described species, with major knowledge gaps for most organisms, including plants. Here, we highlight how digitised herbarium specimens can be used to accelerate and improve estimates of recent and ongoing plant extinctions.

Public Administration, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Artificial intelligence (AI) systems are increasingly being integrated into public sector decision‐making processes, with public managers relying on them to enhance their capabilities. As AI adoption becomes more widespread, discussions about its advantages and drawbacks intensify, alongside growing external expectations and pressures. However,

Plant Biology, EarlyView.Natural Arabidopsis thaliana accessions showed remarkable plasticity in both life‐cycle phenology and whole‐genome gene expression patterns in in natura field experiments. Nevertheless, local adaptation in fitness‐related life‐history traits can also be detected at the whole‐genome gene expression level.

Diversity of the rural farming households and policy issues: an analysis based on a case study in the Northern Cape Province in South Africa [PDF]
The transition from apartheid to integrated development is a contradictory process characterised by negotiations between an intervention and a market-driven liberal approach. Regarding agriculture, it was expected that a highly efficient and economically

Powerful representation of the poor? German welfare associations' narrative advocacy during COVID‐19
Policy Studies Journal, EarlyView.Abstract The COVID‐19 pandemic sparked unprecedented experimentation in the German social assistance system, leading to changes previously considered impracticable by policymakers. This included a sanctions moratorium, easier access to benefits, and temporary cash transfers, all of which were advocated by welfare associations—key organized interests ...
