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

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, Volume 8, Issue 4, Page 1223-1237, July 2026.
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 ...

Recovery of genetic diversity in threatened plants through use of germinated seeds from herbarium specimens

Recovery of genetic diversity in threatened plants through use of germinated seeds from herbarium specimens
The reintroduction of ex situ conserved individuals is an important approach for conserving threatened plants and reducing extinction risk. In this study, we elucidated the effects on the genetic diversity of wild populations of Vincetoxicum pycnostelma Kitag.

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

PLANTS, 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 of herbarium specimens to the benefit of research: An African perspective focusing on South Africa and Western Indian Ocean Island states

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, Volume 8, Issue 4, Page 1042-1056, July 2026.
Botanical exploration, discovery and conservation rely heavily on access to herbarium collections. Recently, digital access to label information, including georeferenced locality data, and images of herbarium specimens available online have greatly increased usage of herbarium specimen data.

Using large language models to automate herbarium specimen transcription: A case study at the Missouri Botanical Garden

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, Volume 8, Issue 4, Page 1068-1075, July 2026.
Biological specimens housed in natural history collections are indispensable resources for documenting where species occur and how they have changed through time, and are thus vital for combating biodiversity loss. Digitization of these collections promises to make these critical resources globally available.
