Diversity and use of plant collections of the Lagos University Herbarium, Nigeria

Feddes Repertorium
AbstractThis study aimed to gain insights into the diversity and use of the collections of the Lagos University Herbarium (LUH), Nigeria. A total of 1509 species representing 188 plant families in 57 plant orders were recorded. This comprises dicotyledons (1260); monocotyledons (217); ferns (29); moss (1); conifers (1); and macro algae (1).

The potential for the use of herbarium specimens to determine the host plants of Ceutorhynchus (Coleoptera: Curculionidae)

The Canadian Entomologist, 2015
AbstractThe host plants of native Ceutorhynchus Germar (Coleoptera: Curculionidae) species are poorly known in North America, and knowledge of these is essential for biological control programmes involving this genus of weevils. We hypothesised that weevil larva emergence holes on plant specimens in herbarium collections might reveal potential plant ...

Ready-to-use DNA extracted with a CTAB method adapted for herbarium specimens and mucilaginous plant tissue

Plant Molecular Biology Reporter, 2006
This report summarizes major changes in previously published protocols for DNA extraction to improve the quality of DNA extracted from plants. Here, we highlight the critical modifications in the original protocols. The efficiency of these changes results in high-quality DNA ready to use in a variety of phytogenetically distant plant families, in ...

Defining conservation priorities for plant taxa in southeastern New Brunswick, Canada using herbarium records

Biological Conservation, 1998
Biological databases are needed for the development of ecologically sensitive land management strategies. Quantitative information that would serve this purpose is typically unavailable or limited to a few species. An alternative is qualitative herbarium data. While often collected unsystematically, herbarium records are usually available for many taxa.

Accelerating plant DNA barcode reference library construction using herbarium specimens: improved experimental techniques

Molecular Ecology Resources, 2015
AbstractA well‐covered reference library is crucial for successful identification of species by DNA barcoding. The biggest difficulty in building such a reference library is the lack of materials of organisms. Herbarium collections are potentially an enormous resource of materials. In this study, we demonstrate that it is likely to build such reference

Using herbarium genomics to understand the history of a global plant invasion

Abstract Invasive plants are dynamic eco-evolutionary systems characterized by rapid spread and evolutionary change. Herbarium genomics offers a powerful way to study these processes across broad spatial and temporal scales. We generated low-coverage shotgun-sequencing data from 152 herbarium specimens of the invasive

Spatiotemporal Analysis of Three Common Wetland Invasive Plant Species Using Herbarium Specimens and Geographic Information Systems

Castanea, 2009
Abstract The negative ecological impact of invasive plant species has been widely reported in recent years. Herbarium specimens can allow for the study of spatiotemporal spread of invasive species in order to understand distribution characteristics and patterns which can then be utilized for management decisions.

The use of herbarium plant databases in identifying areas of biodiversity concentration: the case of family Acanthaceae in Uganda

African Journal of Ecology, 2008
AbstractThe family Acanthaceae in Uganda was used to demonstrate the use of herbarium data in showing distribution patterns and diversity of plants and their representation in protected ares. The geographical distribution of the species was determined from Herbarium specimens at the Makerere Univeristy Herbarium, Kew Herbarium and the Natural History ...
