摘要

Ferro and Flick (2015) describe their efforts to estimate the distribution for a species of rove beetle via the study of specimens from entomological collections, and compare these results to digitally accessible open data. Their study provides an informed and accurate case study that contrasts targeted data capture with generalized public repositories of digital specimen data. However, we feel the conclusions on how global biodiversity data aggregation and publication work require clarification and correction of common misconceptions that we believe will interest those concerned with the future of natural history collections and taxonomy.

Uncertainty matters: ascertaining where specimens in natural history collections come from and its implications for predicting species distributions

Arnald Marcer, Arthur D. Chapman, John R. Wieczorek, F. Xavier Pico, Francesc Uribe, John Waller, Arturo H. Arino

Summary: This study provides a comprehensive analysis of georeferencing quality for preserved specimen records served by GBIF. The results show that georeferencing quality is determined more by country of collection and publishing than by taxonomic group. The study also highlights the impact that coordinate uncertainty may have on predicted potential distributions.

Summary: Zoos and natural history museums are collections-based institutions that play important roles in biodiversity research and education. Despite their overlapping missions, formal partnerships between these institutions are rare. By strengthening the dialogue between zoos and museums, a more comprehensive research dataset could be achieved.

Collections Education: The Extended Specimen and Data Acumen

Anna K. Monfils, Erica R. Krimmel, Debra L. Linton, Travis D. Marsico, Ashley B. Morris, Brad R. Ruhfel

Summary: Biodiversity scientists need to have interdisciplinary skills, including quantitative, computational, and data skills, as well as foundational knowledge in ecology, evolution, taxonomy, and systematics. To effectively train the emerging workforce, teaching should integrate science and data skills. An open education resource that updates traditional plant collection exercises can enhance students' skills in plant taxonomy and systematics, and deepen their understanding of collections-based data resources. Extended specimens play a crucial role in scientific discovery and reinforcing foundational concepts in biodiversity science, taxonomy, and systematics.

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.

Mining museums for historical DNA: advances and challenges in museomics

Christopher J. Raxworthy, Brian Tilston Smith

Summary: Historical DNA obtained from museum and herbarium specimens provides new insights into organisms' evolutionary history, such as documenting genetic erosion and extinction, discovering unknown species, resolving evolutionary relationships, studying epigenetic effects, and determining origins of infectious diseases. However, the development of best practices in isolating, processing, and analyzing historical DNA remains underexplored due to the diversity of specimen preparation types and collecting histories.

Summary: With the development of biodiversity informatics, GBIF has become the world's largest and most widely-used open data access platform on the occurrence of species in nature. Analysis shows that Chinese publications using GBIF-mediated data focus on topics such as species distribution, climate change, biological invasion, and medicinal plants, but there are various forms of data citation practices.

Summary: The Country Compendium of the Global Register of Introduced and Invasive Species (GRIIS) is a compilation of data from 196 individual country checklists of alien species, including those that have evidence of impact at a country level. It serves as a baseline for monitoring distribution and invasion status of major taxonomic groups, and can be used for global analyses of introduced and invasive species. The Compendium allows exploration of gaps and inferred absences of species across countries, and also provides a means for updating individual GRIIS Checklists.

Strict substrate requirements alongside rapid substrate turnover may indicate an early colonization: A case study of Pleurotus calyptratus (Agaricales, Basidiomycota)

Oleh Prylutskyi, Iryna Yatsiuk, Anton Savchenko, Maryna Kit, Oleksii Solodiankin, Dmitry Schigel

Summary: This study aimed to identify the causes for the variation in rarity of Pleurotus calyptratus. Through habitat mapping and repeated surveys, it was found that fruiting is strictly associated with older trees and early decay stages, and not with physical properties of a tree trunk. The substrate suitability period lasts for 1-3 years, resulting in rapid substrate turnover. The DNA of P. calyptratus was also detected in visually healthy trees, indicating its latent presence in hosts and its potential as a pioneer in fungal succession. Despite high spatial and temporal variation in fruiting, no significant trends were observed in population dynamics, suggesting random variation driven by forest stand dynamics. The relative abundance of P. calyptratus in Ukraine is likely due to continuous substrate supply from large homogenous aspen stands.
