Connecting tradition and technology: The digitization of the ethnobotanical collection at the Rio de Janeiro Botanical Garden

open access: yesPLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, Volume 8, Issue 4, Page 1104-1115, July 2026.
The digitization of RBetno (JBRJ) represents a step forward for biodiversity conservation in Brazil. Aligned with the Kunming‐Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework (Target 2, 2020–2030), this project documents the use of plants, including traditional knowledge and vernacular names, with a focus on the Atlantic Forest and Amazon.

Digitisation as archival intermediary: Quantifying and qualifying Greta B. Stevenson's mycological collector networks

open access: yesPLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, Volume 8, Issue 4, Page 1275-1291, July 2026.
Mass digitisation of natural science collections and archives has increasingly become a priority for scientific heritage institutions. Here, we explore the potential of mass digitisation to improve our understanding of the nature and history of scientific collaboration. Focusing on mycologist Greta B.

Exploring the legal, policy, ethical and practical implications of digitisation of botanical and fungal collections

open access: yesPLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, Volume 8, Issue 4, Page 1076-1086, July 2026.
Societal Impact Statement Dried plant and fungal specimens held in collections provide a unique asset to understand the natural world and inform conservation approaches. By creating freely available, digital images of these collections, these specimens can be used by more scientists from around the globe to ask research questions and apply new ...

The metadata ecosystem and AI: Enabling FAIR and AI‐ready data

open access: yesAI Magazine, Volume 47, Issue 2, Summer 2026.
Abstract Reproducibility is a foundational tenet of science. As artificial intelligence (AI) becomes increasingly embedded across science, the need to accurately document the provenance, structure, and behavior of training data, models, and workflows grows correspondingly. Metadata, understood as explicit and structured knowledge about data and related

Population‐Specific Chemotypes in Pseudomisopates rivas‐martinezii (Sanchez Mata) Güemes From La Serrota and Gredos Massifs (Iberian Central Range)

open access: yesChemistry &Biodiversity, Volume 23, Issue 6, June 2026.
Pseudomisopates rivas‐martinezii, a critically endangered Iberian endemic, reveals population‐specific chemotypes when analyzed by elemental analysis, FTIR, and GC–MS. Underground tissues from both populations share a convergent histidine‐derived metabolite profile, whereas aerial parts diverge markedly: La Serrota accumulates phenolic derivatives from

Sporadic Appetites: Unearthing the Fungal Diets of Two Mycophagous Mammals Across an Australian Climate Gradient

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 6, June 2026.
This study investigated the fungal dietary preferences of boodies and woylies across Mediterranean, semi‐arid and arid regions of Australia using DNA metabarcoding of scat samples, providing a comprehensive molecular characterisation of mycophagous feeding patterns for these species across broad climate gradients.

What's there beyond the sun and the sea? Detecting tourists' interest towards nature in a mass tourism destination using social media data

open access: yesPeople and Nature, Volume 8, Issue 6, Page 1802-1816, June 2026.
Abstract Nature‐based tourism is a rapidly growing subsector of the international tourism industry. However, capturing broad‐scale patterns of nature visits during touristic trips or visitors' appreciation of nature may be difficult using traditional data sources and methods. In this study, we harness geotagged social media data to understand the scale

Embodied urban design: Fostering nature connectedness for pro‐conservation behaviour

open access: yesPeople and Nature, Volume 8, Issue 6, Page 1728-1741, June 2026.
Abstract Those who feel more connected with nature are more likely to act in ways that support biodiversity. How connected people feel with nature depends in part on how meaningfully it figures into their experience of the built environment. Despite an increase in urban greening measures, these approaches often overlook how people perceive, interact ...

The soul of the soil: Unearthing a Nation's eco‐empathy through 1200 years of Persian poetry

open access: yesPeople and Nature, Volume 8, Issue 6, Page 1987-2002, June 2026.
Abstract Cultivating a profound sense of connection with the natural world, conceptualized as eco‐empathy, is increasingly recognized as a vital precursor to effective environmental stewardship. While scientific data frame ecological crises, literary traditions offer a unique archive for tracing the history of this empathetic bond. This study positions
