Recovery of genetic diversity in threatened plants through use of germinated seeds from herbarium specimens [PDF]
Plant Ecology, 2015 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.

Automatic Detection System for the Identification of Plants Using Herbarium Specimen Images
Tropical Agricultural Research, 2012 An automatic leaves image identification system for endemic plants in Sri Lanka using neural networks is described in this study. Stemonoporus, a genus of Dipterocarpaceae which has about 30 species of plants was selected for the proposed system. National Herbarium specimens were used to obtain the images.

Using Australian Virtual Herbarium data to find all the woody rain forest plants in Australia. [PDF]
Cunninghamia, 2012 Data bases that provide continental and global scale information about species distributions provide a valuable resource for environmental, ecological and evolutionary research. However to bring a large dataset to a standard that is suitable for quantitative analysis, data quality needed to be checked.

Testing enemy release of non‐native plants across time and space using herbarium specimens in Norway
Journal of Ecology, 2022 Abstract The enemy release hypothesis predicts that invasive plant success is in part due to the absence of natural enemies in the invaded range. However, few studies have assessed how enemy release may vary over time or space.

Automating digital leaf measurement: the tooth, the whole tooth, and nothing but the tooth. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2012 Many species of plants produce leaves with distinct teeth around their margins. The presence and nature of these teeth can often help botanists to identify species.
