Petal to the metal: The slow road to automating large-scale #phenology labeling for #herbarium specimens New in #AppsPlantSci by @er1ngrady.bsky.social, @djli.bsky.social, @rdinnager.bsky.social, Rob Guralnick, et al. doi.org/10.1002/aps3... @floridamuseum.bsky.social @usa-npn.bsky.social #botany

The heading reads: "Historical flowering data unlocked for over 2.9M herbarium specimens". The background image is a digitized herbarium specimen. In the center of the image is a bar chart showing the number of flowering records across the decades, from 1800 to 2020. The text at the bottom of the image reads: "Integrated in Phenobase", with the URL phenobase.org

Turning a new leaf: PhenoVision provides #LeafPhenology data at the global scale New in #AppsPlantSci by @er1ngrady.bsky.social, @djli.bsky.social, @rdinnager.bsky.social, et al doi.org/10.1002/aps3... @inaturalist.bsky.social @floridamuseum.bsky.social #botany #citizenscience #computervision

A three-panel horizontal flowchart describing the data flow for PhenoVision–Leaf. Panel one represents community-collected images and phenology annotations on iNaturalist, panel two shows these being fed into the PhenoVision–Leaf modal, and panel 3 shows a global map of new leaf phenology data and mentions that these data will be integrated into Phenobase.

Excited to kick off this project to bring Nature's Notebook into K-12 classrooms! If you're an educator with experience or interest teaching about seasonal changes in plants or animals, we would love to hear from you. docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1F...

Citizen science contributions from both casual observers and highly active users can be equally valuable and even complement each other, says a new study of iNaturalist data. Story: www.floridamuseum.ufl.edu/science/high... Study: theoryandpractice.citizenscienceassociation.org/articles/10....
