A novel & broadly applicable analytical framework to evaluate & correct herborization-associated measurement biases in plant trait research New in #AppsPlantSci by Yacov Kilsztajn, @tvasconcelos.bsky.social, et al doi.org/10.1002/aps3... #botany #Myrtaceae #herbarium #PlantScience

Left: Detail of a herbarium specimen of Myrcia mucugensis, with branches bearing leaves and inflorescences. Right: Field photograph of the same species, displaying leafy branches with white flowers bearing numerous stamens. The leaves are green and covered with bronze-colored trichomes, a characteristic feature of the species. The side-by-side images illustrate both the preserved herbarium material and the living plant in its natural habitat. Credits: field photograph by Y. Kilsztajn; herborized specimen from the digitized Herbarium Alexandre Leal Costa (ALCB), available through SpeciesLink (https://specieslink.net).

ASPT is launching a free 5-part webinar series, “Taxonomy: What is it good for?” on the real-world impacts of systematics. Join us Feb 6 for @sandyknapp.bsky.social's “Of course taxonomy matters! The story of the mega-genus Solanum (Solanaceae).” Register and share! us06web.zoom.us/webinar/regi...

ASPT is excited to launch a five-part special webinar series, “Taxonomy: What is it good for?”, spotlighting voices from the global plant taxonomy community and the real-world impact of systematic research.

We kick things off Friday, February 6 at 12 PM ET with Sandra Knapp (Natural History Museum, London). Her talk,

“Of course taxonomy matters! The story of the mega-genus Solanum (Solanaceae)”

. . . dives into one of the largest and most fascinating plant genera on Earth—and shows why taxonomy is absolutely essential to science, conservation, and society.

Registration is free. Register here:

When @omearabrian.bsky.social saw the manuscript, he described it as: ‘What if this figure could be an entire paper?’ I choose to interpret that as high praise. Now accepted at AmNat: The geometry of macroevolution (with Dan Rabosky). www.journals.uchicago.edu/doi/10.1086/...

I wrote this about finding the optimal discrete character model structure. I hope this will be useful for empiricists. The main point is that relying only on the package default models is bad and can have nasty consequences or parameter estimates and ASR. www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...
