BarnebyLives: An R package to create herbarium specimen labels and clean spreadsheets
Abstract Premise Accessioning herbarium specimens is labor intensive, yet remains vital for research in ecology, evolution, and conservation. As institutional support for herbaria declines, efficient tools are needed to streamline this process. The R package BarnebyLives was developed to assist collectors by supplementing collection notes, verifying ...

Rapid assessment of fern spore quality using microscale electrical conductivity testing
Abstract Premise Ex situ spore banks are essential for fern conservation and research, yet traditional germination tests for assessing spore quality are time consuming and labor intensive. We explored whether electrical conductivity (EC), a rapid proxy for seed vigor, could offer an efficient alternative for evaluating fern spore quality. Methods Using

Abstract Premise Road verges function as refuges for semi‐natural species, but they can also facilitate the spread of non‐native plants such as Lupinus polyphyllus. Unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV)–based remote sensing is a promising tool for mapping these species; however, its application in roadside contexts remains limited.

Abstract Premise Advances in the digitization of herbarium collections are enabling open access to specimen data for research and conservation. In Brazil, the Herbário Virtual Reflora (HVR) hosts over 4.8 million high‐resolution images of botanical specimens and their associated data from 86 national and international herbaria.

Herbarium‐based measurements are reliable predictors of fresh plant traits in Neotropical Myrtaceae
Abstract Premise Herbarium specimens are increasingly used to extract morphological traits for ecological and evolutionary studies, yet the effects of tissue desiccation on trait measurements remain poorly understood. Here, we tested two hypotheses: (H1) whether higher tissue water content leads to greater measurement changes after herborization and ...
