AbstractThe use of herbaria for science and conservation is enabling greatly enhanced scopes and scales of discovery, exploration and protection of biodiversity. The availability of digital, open-access herbarium data is, perhaps counter-intuitively, expanding the use of physical collections by researchers who use digital collections to find specimens and then sample physical collections for multiomics investigations, including genomics, transcriptomics, metabolomics, proteomics and microbiomics.

1 INTRODUCTION Accelerated habitat degradation and climate change can elevate extinction rates in natural populations to unprecedentedly high levels (Andermann et al., 2020; Neubauer et al., 2021). Most predictions across different ecosystems and biological groups indicate extreme loss of species ranges and species diversity, especially when accounting for the interactions between climate change and habitat degradation (Feeley & Rehm, 2012; Newbold et al., 2019).

1 INTRODUCTION Species distribution data are one of the fundamental data types included in many macroecological, biogeographical, ecological and evolutionary studies, alongside important applications such as for biological conservation and land use management. Therefore, the accuracy, precision and transparency of species distributions are paramount for robust conclusions (e.g. Ficetola et al., 2014; Rocchini et al., 2011; Rondinini et al., 2006).

AbstractScientific testing including stable isotope ratio analysis (SIRA) and trace element analysis (TEA) is critical for establishing plant origin, tackling deforestation and enforcing economic sanctions. Yet methods combining SIRA and TEA into robust models for origin verification and determination are lacking.

In the introduction to his 2022 book “Eating to Extinction,” Dan Saladino presents readers with a list of startling facts: “Half of all the world’s cheeses are produced with bacteria or enzymes manufactured by a single company; one in four beers drunk around the world is the product of one brewer; from the USA to China, most global pork production is based around the genetics of a single breed of pig.” Whether it’s farm animals or the invisible world of microorganisms, genetic uniformity in...

AbstractBirds are among the best-studied animal groups, but their prehistoric diversity is poorly known due to low fossilization potential. Hence, while many human-driven bird extinctions (i.e., extinctions caused directly by human activities such as hunting, as well as indirectly through human-associated impacts such as land use change, fire, and the introduction of invasive species) have been recorded, the true number is likely much larger.
