The colonial legacy of herbaria

Daniel S. S. Park et al.

Summary: Herbarium collections play a critical role in our understanding of Earth's flora and tackling global change. However, the formation of these collections is not immune to sociopolitical issues. Despite efforts to address representation and colonialism, herbaria have received less attention. This study examines the colonial legacy of botanical collections, revealing disparities in the distribution of plant diversity and herbarium holdings. The findings highlight the need to acknowledge the colonial history and implement a more equitable approach to collecting, curating, and utilizing herbarium collections.

Global shortfalls in threat assessments for endemic flora by country

Rachael V. Gallagher et al.

Summary: Systematic approaches to conservation assessment are needed to protect plant diversity. However, the completion of threat assessments for endemic plants is weakly related to a country's wealth or the level of threat that species face. The lack of assessment limits national regulation of actions that endanger plant species.

Bridging the research-implementation gap in IUCN Red List assessments

Victor Cazalis et al.

Summary: The IUCN Red List of Threatened Species plays a central role in biodiversity conservation, but insufficient resources hinder its long-term growth. While models and automated calculations have been proposed, their integration into assessment practice is limited, showing a critical research-implementation gap. Bridging this gap can be achieved by fostering communication between academic researchers and Red List practitioners and developing user-friendly platforms for automated application of these methods. The development of methods that better encompass Red List criteria, systems, and drivers is the next priority for supporting the Red List.

Issues with species occurrence data and their impact on extinction risk assessments

Bruno R. Ribeiro et al.

Summary: Species extinction risk assessments are crucial for conservation actions. Preliminary assessments can prioritize efforts for full assessments, even with incomplete data and spatial issues. Accuracy is higher in identifying non-threatened species.

The likely extinction of hundreds of palm species threatens their contributions to people and ecosystems

S. Bellot et al.

Summary: Machine learning is used to predict extinction risk for palm species and identify priority regions for conservation. The study highlights the urgent need to protect hundreds of palm species facing extinction and the importance of integrating evolutionary, functional, and used diversity with conservation planning.

Changes in plant collection practices from the 16th to 21st centuries: implications for the use of herbarium specimens in global change research

Mikhail Kozlov et al.

Summary: The study investigated the changes in characteristics of European tree and shrub herbarium specimens from the 16th to 21st centuries, revealing systematic and substantial alterations. The average number of leaves in specimens increased 3-fold, while specimen preparation quality decreased. Scientific value remained constant after the 1700s, with no systematic trends in aesthetic value.

Data integration enables global biodiversity synthesis

J. Mason Heberling et al.

Summary: The study found a significant increase in the number of publications using data mediated by the Global Biodiversity Information Facility (GBIF) from 2003 to 2019. While data use patterns were diverse, research topics remained stable in some areas, but increased in others, such as species interactions and diseases, showing the vast potential of biodiversity data networks.

Inequality in plant diversity knowledge and unrecorded plant extinctions: An example from the grasses of Madagascar

Maria S. Vorontsova et al.

Summary: By comparing species occurrence knowledge of plants in Madagascar and the British Isles, differences in plant knowledge between countries due to factors such as science funding, human capital, accessibility, and existing records were revealed. The study found that unrecorded extinctions are more likely among Malagasy grasses, and that extinction rates of Malagasy grasses may increase tenfold in the next century.
