Climate change represents one of the most critical threats to biodiversity with far-reaching
consequences for species interactions, the functioning of ecosystems, or the assembly of …

Earth's most speciose biomes are in the tropics, yet tropical plant phenology remains poorly
understood. Tropical phenological data are comparatively scarce and viewed through the …

Natural history collections (NHCs) are the foundation of historical baselines for assessing
anthropogenic impacts on biodiversity. Along these lines, the online mobilization of …

Abstract Machine learning (ML) has great potential to drive scientific discovery by harvesting
data from images of herbarium specimens—preserved plant material curated in natural …

Although often not collected specifically for the purposes of conservation, herbarium
specimens offer sufficient information to reconstruct parameters that are needed to …

Phenology, or the timing of life history events, can be heterogeneous across biological
communities and landscapes and can vary across a wide variety of spatiotemporal scales …

Contemporary climate change is exposing plant populations to novel combinations of
temperatures, drought stress,[CO 2] and other abiotic and biotic conditions. These changes …

Premise Citizen science platforms for sharing photographed digital vouchers, such as iN
aturalist, are a promising source of phenology data, but methods and best practices for use …

The application of machine learning methods to extract data from herbarium specimens has
grown and diversified in a few short years, beginning with species identification in a specific …

Plant phenology has been shifting dramatically in response to climate change, a shift that
may have significant and widespread ecological consequences. Of particular concern are …
