Full textAbstract:
Since the mid 1960’s, the combined herbaria of Rancho Santa Ana Botanic Garden [RSA] and Pomona College [POM] have followed the classification system of Taxonomist and Curator, Dr. Robert F. Thorne (1920-2015). Thorne, whose research interests were largely centered on floristics and plant geography, is best known for his synoptic work to develop a classification system to accommodate all flowering plants. Nevertheless, Thorne was a strong proponent of an alphabetical arrangement of herbaria, and organized the RSA-POM collection accordingly. The last time the RSA-POM Herbarium experienced a major shift in the arrangement of its collection was nearly 20 years ago. Since that time, many outdated families that are no longer recognized – of which Thorne had recognized in his system of classification – have remained in the collection. Over the last two years, the RSA-POM Herbarium has been actively reorganizing both its digital and physical collections to follow the vascular plant families of the newest classification system, the Angiosperm Phylogeny Group (APG IV). Reorganization began with a complete overhaul of the herbarium’s database followed by curation of the physical collection. This presentation highlights the efforts in curating the digital and physical collections of the RSA-POM Herbarium, perspectives on collection reorganization, as well as challenges and limitations.

The article describes the contribution of the famous Ukrainian scientist Vasyl Matviyovych Chernyaev to the science of botany and the development of herbarium. Biographical data are given.
Among the funds of Herbarium (UM) of the students of Uman School of Agriculture and Horticulture (the successor is Uman National University of Horticulture) is a valuable historical collection of exicates Herbarium Florae Rossicae (1897–1907). It was established that the collection of exicates includes 1920 herbarium specimens (h. s.), the students of the school were included in the serial issues and they presented the flora of Uman region (Kyiv prov.). There is also a collection of excerpts the famous German florist, collector lichenologist, mycologist and bryologist L. G. Rabenhosta (181 h. s., dated 1801, 1803) and V. M. Chernyaev (29 h. s., 1860, 1864). The processed collections of dendroflora from V. M Chernyaev are represented by ten families of the Angiosperms division: Anacardiaceae, Betulaceae, Cornaceae, Fagaceae, Moraceae, Rhamnaceae, Rosaceae, Salicaceae, Sapindaceae. Among them are species Morus alba L., Quercus robur L., Rhamnus cathartica L., which belong to plants with medicinal properties (Hb. medic. Hipp. Cerniaew).
According to the archival materials of the University Museum and rare old prints of the library, it has been established that the preserved historical collection was а part of "The Main Herbarium of Uman School of Agriculture and Horticulture" and served as material in training of gardeners to study Botany and Ornamental Gardening.
The historical milestones of the scientific life of the famous scientist, who created botanical courses during the period of his work, was the head of the botanical garden of Kharkiv University and improved the herbarium, were studied. His herbarium collections, which is now stored in herbarium institutions (CWU, KW, MSUD), were purchased to the educational institutions or, probably, they were a gift from a naturalist.
In the herbarium collections of V. M. Chernyaev, according to the processed labels, the place of plant growth is not indicated, but only the years, taxa and the name of the collector. Therefore, it should be assumed that the collection is focused on study of the flora of Kharkiv region (1860, 1864) during the period of retirement.
The taxonomic affiliation of herbarium collections is arranged in alphabetical order of taxa and checked according to the modern botanical nomenclature "World Flora Online", as some names are synonymous or absent, and currently have no official recognition. The primary database was created, the inventory number was assigned, the sheets were certified with a stamp with the title (Scientific Herbarium of Uman National University of Horticulture (UM), registered in 2016 in the international database Index Herbariorum (New York).
Therefore, the scientific herbarium of Uman National University of Horticulture (UM) with its historical collections deserves the attention and can rightfully take a place among the leading herbariums of Ukraine.

Full textAbstract:
During the past few years, natural disasters, political or social unrest and institutional actions have imperiled herbaria. The question has been raised multiple times whether or not the data gathered about herbaria in Index Herbariorum could be used to predict which herbaria are at the greatest risk. Armed with such knowledge curators and the greater collections community might be in a better position to safeguard those herbaria. To explore the feasibility of using Index Herbariorum data in this way, we have identified a set of specific threats and then scored herbaria according to their susceptibility to those threats. These threats fall into two categories: Physical and Administrative. Physical threats are those that could lead to loss of collections through outright destruction due to catastrophic events (e.g., earthquake, flood) or loss of the protective controls (e.g., air conditioning, building security) that ensure a safe collections environment. Determination of these threats is based on location. Administrative threats involve decisions made by the governing body to remove staff support, appropriate space or climate control measures for the collection. Physical threats were determined using GIS to plot the location of all herbaria, and then overlaying these with map layers indicating current earthquakes, floods, cyclones and landslides and potential future threats (sea level rise and civil unrest). We deduced Administrative threats from Index Herbariorum data elements. These include the status of the herbarium (active or inactive), whether or not the Index Herbariorum entry for an institution has been updated in the past 10 years, whether or not the herbarium has a designated curator, the ratio of staff to specimens, and whether or not the collection has been digitized. Each threat was assessed as absent or present, and assigned a value of 0 or 1 accordingly. Using this method, less than 4% face no identified threats; 65% face one to three threats and 35% face five or more threats. The criteria used in this study cannot alone predict the future security of a collection, or the lack thereof. The reasons for the loss of a collection are usually more complicated than Index Herbariorum data can convey. However, the large proportion of herbaria that face multiple threats suggests that all herbaria should be aware of the risk factors for their collection, perhaps conducting a self-evaluation using the criteria presented here or others, and where possible should incorporate responses to those threats into their strategic and disaster preparedness plans.

This paper presents the collection of the genus Aurinia Desv. species in ZA and ZAHO herbaria. The revision and the analyses of the material are presented. Herbarium specimens from these two herbaria were digitized and the data from the original herbarium labels were inserted in the Flora Croatica Database. A total of 203 herbarium sheets were digitized and nine taxa (A. corymbosa Griesb., A. leucadea (Guss.) K. Koch ssp. leucadea, A. leucadea (Guss.) K. Koch ssp. media (Host) Plazibat, A. petraea (Ard.) Schur, A. petraea (Ard.) Schur ssp. microcarpa (Vis.) Plazibat, A. saxatilis (L.) Desv., A. saxatilis (L.) Desv. ssp. orientalis (Ard.) T. R. Dudley, A. saxatilis (L.) Desv. ssp. saxatilis, A. sinuata (L.) Griseb.) were registered within studied collections. The specimens originate from 16 European countries and the majority of herbarium sheets were collected in Croatia. The majority of specimens were collected between 1900s and 1950s. The comparison between the recorded distribution data in the Flora Croatica Database and the distribution based on herbarium specimens is made and the herbarium specimens generally well represent the distribution range of studied taxa.

Full textAbstract:
This paper offers an in-depth report on the best practices for the conservation and preservation of herbaria within library and museum collections. A herbarium (singular) is a collection of dried and pressed plant specimens, typically mounted onto paper and accompanied by a certain degree of recorded information. These organic specimens tend to be housed in museums or special collections libraries, where their handling can be carefully monitored and/or restricted. Each herbarium is typically one-of-a-kind and may serve as a vital primary source on human exploration, taxonomy, natural history and even amateur collection practices. A closer look at the best practices for their conservation and preservation spotlights the herbarium as a fragile, valuable and perhaps an unexpected or unusual form of “recorded information” that librarians, archivists and museum professionals may encounter or even have some responsibility over at some point in their careers.

Full textAbstract:
Relocating a natural history collection is a daunting prospect. Underpinning successful relocation is getting the fundamentals right. From the moment the seed of an idea for a new facility is planted, a raft of detailed planning and preparation issues emerge. Meticulous planning and management is essential, from initial design through to the last specimen being housed in its new location. Herbaria are complex organisms each with a core collection of specimen sheets and associated infrastructure to house them; ancillary collections such as ‘spirit’ and ‘DNA’, a library, databasing, mounting, materials, imaging, loans and exchange, facilities for environmental control, biosecurity, space for staff, volunteers, research students, and class or public access and outreach. All these elements require careful consideration for relocation regardless of the size of the collection. Timelines for relocations from initial decisions to commencement of the move vary widely. Early involvement of core herbarium staff is critical to managing risks to the integrity of the collection during a move. Success of the operation can be gauged immediately after the move and again, much later, based on feedback on the operation of the facility and whether planned expansion will meet future needs. All these considerations are important and essentially the same, irrespective of distance of relocation or size of the collection. We will discuss the fundamental issues of herbarium relocation based on two recent case studies.The Western Australian Herbarium moved from its 1970s home to a modern, purpose-built, best practice facility incorporating innovative design features in 2011 with c. 800,000 specimens. The John T. Waterhouse Herbarium at UNSW Sydney (The University of New South Wales) moved c. 66,000 specimens in October 2017 from within a 1962 departmental building, to a modern, purpose-built facility, incorporating significant improvements, as part of a much larger relocation of its School. We will provide a guide to assist future relocations, both imminent (such as the N.C.W. Beadle Herbarium at the University of New England (>100,000 specmens), and the National Herbarium of New South Wales, >1,400,000 specimens) and for those yet to be considered. This will be a presentation on behalf of the Managers of Australasian Herbarium Collections (MAHC), a network of herbarium Collection Managers in Australia and New Zealand.

The plant gall collection is part of the Herbarium BUNS collection, University of Novi Sad. Collection began with the formation in 1976, and as a unique type of collection in Serbia, it has existed for 35 years. Today?s collection Herbarium cecidologicum is made of two units - Plant gall collection (dried specimens) and database, and includes 438 data: 294 data for dried specimens and 144 collected literature data about the distribution plant galls. Galls collection has multiple significances: assessment biodiversity (diversity of plants and diversity of causers), estimate the population status of certain causers taxa, primarily invertebrates, monitoring the spread of pests, which usually occurs in population of the cultivated species. Collecting data in one database, providing data on new plant gall species and distribution on both challengers as well as host plants is one of the main tasks of this collection.

Full textAbstract:
Damage to specimen collections occurs in practically every herbarium across the world. Hence, some precautions must be taken, such as investigating the factors that cause specimen damage in their collections and evaluating their herbarium collection handling and usage policy. However, manual investigation of the causes of herbarium collection damage requires a lot of effort and time. Only a few studies have attempted to investigate the causes of herbarium collection damage. So far, the non-gaussian approach to detecting the causes of damage to herbarium specimens has not been studied before. This study attempted to explore the effect of species type, time, location, storage, and remounting status on the level of damage to herbarium specimens, especially those in the genus Excoecaria. Gaussian modeling is not good enough to model the counted data phenomenon (the amount of damage to herbarium specimens). Negative binomial regression (NBR) provides a better model when compared to generalized Poisson regression and ordinary Gaussian regression approaches. NBR detects non-uniformity in the storage process, causing damage to herbarium specimens. Natural damage to herbarium specimens is caused by differences in species and the origin of specimens.

ResumoOs herbários são coleções biológicas que incluem o material de referência para todos os que precisem de identificar ou preservar plantas, fungos ou algas. Estas coleções foram usadas inicialmente pelos professores/médicos/herbalistas no século XVI e mais tarde, nas primeiras viagens de exploração científica, tornaram-se uma ferramenta essencial para todos os coletores e botânicos. A contextualização dos herbários do ponto de vista da história das ciências pode ampliar os usos de um herbário e reforçar a sua versatilidade. Desta perspetiva, os herbários transcendem a sua função de repositório, refletindo contextos para além dos da esfera científica, espelhando as políticas de desenvolvimento governamental, educacional e económico de um país. O Herbário do Museu de História Natural e da Ciência da Universidade do Porto é uma coleção reconhecida mundialmente como o Herbário da Universidade do Porto (PO) e é uma coleção de referência da flora Portuguesa, contendo coleções históricas, privadas e académicas constituídas desde o século XIX. Tomando como ponto de partida o herbário (coleção botânica desidratada entre papel) e o Herbário da Universidade do Porto (como instituição responsável da organização e conservação de vários tipos de coleções botânicas), este trabalho mostra como os herbários e os Herbários são veículos para a compreensão de assuntos de várias esferas e materializam a sua interconexão, promovendo uma aprendizagem de carácter global, fomentando a sua consciência histórica e cívica. Palavras-chave: Coleções históricas; Herbários: Estudos Interdisciplinares. Abstract Herbaria are biological collections that include reference material for anyone who needs to identify or preserve plants, fungi or algae. These collections were used by the first professors/doctors/herbalists in the 16th century, and later, on the first voyages of scientific exploration becoming an essential tool for all collectors and botanists. The contextualization of herbaria from the point of view of the history of science can broaden the uses of a herbarium and reinforce its versatility. From this perspective, herbaria transcend their repository function, reflecting contexts beyond those of the scientific sphere, mirroring a country's government, educational and economic development policies. The Herbarium of the Museum of Natural History and Science of the University of Porto is a collection recognized worldwide as the Herbarium of the University of Porto (PO) and is a reference collection of Portuguese flora, containing historical, private and academic collections since the 19th century. Taking as its starting point the herbarium (dehydrated botanical collection between paper) and the Herbarium of the University of Porto (as the institution responsible for the organization and conservation of various types of biological collections), this paper shows how herbaria and Herbaria are vehicles for the understanding of subjects from various spheres and materialize their interconnectedness, promoting a global learning, fostering their historical and civic awareness. Keywords: Historical collections; Herbaria; Interdisciplinary studies.

Full textAbstract:
The mycological collections represent a huge source of molecular information that may be exploited to obtain important DNA data. Indeed, it has been demonstrated that DNA barcoding projects of fungarium material have the potential to enlarge the coverage of species-level DNA sequence information deposited in public databases. However, these collections are an underused resource for building up voucher-based reference datasets, due to the difficulty to obtain DNA sequences from herbarium material. The over one century old Saccardo mycological collection preserved in the herbarium of the Botanical Garden of Padua contains about 70,000 specimens including more than 4,000 type specimens. The types in this collection have been borrowed by mycologists from all over the world for morphological revisions and consequent taxonomic reclassifications, but they have never been involved in sequencing projects so far. Accordingly, the aim of this research was to apply a DNA barcoding approach to obtain internal transcribed spacer (ITS) sequences, the consensus barcode for fungal species identification, from specimens preserved in this collection. This DNA region has been identified as a suitable marker for molecular studies that involve ancient mycological material, because only short DNA regions can be obtained from ancient and degraded DNA. In addition, in case of initial PCR failure of the ITS region, it is possible to increase the amplification/sequencing success by analyzing separately the two non-coding regions ITS1 and ITS2 that form the entire ITS. In this thesis work, an Illumina MiSeq sequencing method was applied to recover ITS1/ITS2 sequences overcoming the problems of the high level of DNA degradation of the Saccardo fungarium samples and the presence of contaminations by exogenous fungal DNA. The method required the setup of the steps involved in the samples preparation for the sequencing and in the bioinformatic data analysis, and then its efficacy was first tested to obtain ITS2 sequences from 36 non-type Peziza specimens. Despite the presence of both external fungal contamination and cross-contamination between fungarium specimens, this high-throughput sequencing method has permitted to recover ITS2 sequences from 23 out of the 36 specimens studied and also a taxonomic re-evaluation of some samples at the species level and others at genus or higher taxonomic level. Then, this next-generation sequencing (NGS) approach was used to retrieve ITS1/ITS2 sequences from type specimens belonging to the genus Nectria and from Nectria-like types classified in the collection as members of other genera. Several of these types were morphologically revised in the past by expert mycologists and placed in synonymy with other species or reclassified as members of new genera. The ITS1/ITS2 sequences were obtained for 25 different types (30 in total considering multiple specimens) out of 76 specimens involved in the study. The combined morphological and molecular data analysis suggests that there is a need to reclassify some Nectria/Nectria-like types previously reclassified only on a morphological basis and some types never considered for taxonomic revisions. In fact, for 11 types the original species name has been confirmed, for four and five types new nomenclature combinations and synonymies have been proposed respectively, while for other five types the taxonomic assignment has been possible only at genus level. Since type specimens constitute an integral part of fungal classification and nomenclature and given the outstanding and worldwide importance of the Saccardo collection, these findings provide material for a taxonomic revision of invaluable types. Moreover, the method proposed in this research not only has provided an additional scientific value to the Saccardo collection, but it can be applied to obtain important voucher-sequences from problematic herbarium material, thus expanding the databases with well-annotated ITS barcode sequences.Le collezioni micologiche rappresentano un’enorme risorsa di informazioni molecolari che può essere sfruttata per ottenere importanti sequenze di DNA. Infatti, è stato dimostrato che i progetti di DNA barcoding che coinvolgono materiale fungino proveniente da collezioni micologiche possono aumentare la quantità di informazioni molecolari relative alle diverse specie fungine nei database pubblici. Tuttavia, queste raccolte sono una risorsa poco sfruttata per la creazione di datasets di riferimento basati su campioni accuratamente identificati, a causa della difficoltà nell’ottenere sequenze di DNA dal materiale conservato all’interno degli erbari. La raccolta micologica di Pier Andrea Saccardo, di oltre un secolo, conservata nell'erbario dell'Orto Botanico di Padova, contiene circa 70.000 campioni fungini di cui oltre 4.000 sono esemplari tipo. I tipi di questa collezione sono stati spesso richiesti da micologi di tutto il mondo per revisioni morfologiche e conseguenti riclassificazioni tassonomiche, ma non erano mai stati coinvolti in progetti di sequenziamento finora. Di conseguenza, lo scopo di questa ricerca è stata quella di applicare un approccio di DNA barcoding per ottenere sequenze della regione ITS (internal transcribed spacer), il barcode utilizzato per l'identificazione delle specie fungine, dai campioni conservati in questa collezione. Questa regione è considerata un marcatore adatto per studi molecolari che coinvolgono materiale micologico antico, poiché solo corte regioni di DNA possono essere ottenute da DNA antico e degradato. Inoltre, in caso di fallimento nell’amplificazione della regione ITS, è possibile aumentare il successo dell'amplificazione/sequenziamento analizzando separatamente le due regioni non codificanti ITS1 e ITS2 che formano l'intera regione ITS. In questo lavoro di tesi, è stato applicato un metodo di sequenziamento Illumina MiSeq per ottenere sequenze ITS1/ITS2 superando i problemi relativi all'alto livello di degradazione del DNA dei campioni della collezione micologica e la presenza di contaminazioni da DNA fungino esogeno. Il metodo ha richiesto l'ottimizzazione delle diverse fasi coinvolte nella preparazione dei campioni per il sequenziamento e nell'analisi bioinformatica dei dati, e la sua efficacia è stata prima testata per ottenere sequenze ITS2 da 36 esemplari fungini non-tipo appartenenti al genere Peziza. Nonostante la presenza sia di contaminazioni fungine esterne che di contaminazione incrociata tra i campioni della collezione, questo metodo di sequenziamento ha permesso di recuperare sequenze della regione ITS2 da 23 dei 36 campioni studiati e anche una rivalutazione tassonomica di alcuni campioni a livello di specie e altri a livello di genere o livello tassonomico superiore. Successivamente, questo approccio di sequenziamento di nuova generazione è stato utilizzato per ottenre sequenze ITS1/ITS2 da campioni tipo appartenenti al genere Nectria e da tipi Nectria-simili classificati nella collezione come membri di altri generi. Molti di questi tipi furono morfologicamente revisionati in passato da esperti micologi e posti in sinonimia con altre specie o riclassificati come membri di nuovi generi. Le sequenze ITS1/ITS2 sono state ottenute per 25 diversi tipi (30 in totale considerando campioni multipli) su 76 campioni coinvolti nello studio. L'analisi combinata dei dati morfologici e molecolari suggerisce la necessità di riclassificare alcuni tipi di Nectria/Nectria-simili precedentemente riclassificati solo su base morfologica e alcuni tipi mai considerati per una revisione tassonomica. Infatti, per 11 tipi è stato confermato il nome originale della specie, per quattro e cinque tipi sono state proposte rispettivamente nuove combinazioni di nomenclatura e sinonimie, mentre per altri cinque l'assegnazione tassonomica è stata possibile solo a livello di genere. Poiché i campioni tipo costituiscono una parte integrante della classificazione e della nomenclatura dei funghi e data l'importanza eccezionale e mondiale della collezione Saccardo, questi risultati forniscono materiale per una revisione tassonomica di inestimabili campioni tipo. Inoltre, il metodo proposto in questa ricerca non solo ha fornito un valore scientifico aggiuntivo alla collezione Saccardo, ma può essere applicato per ottenere importanti sequenze da materiale d’erbario, espandendo così i database con sequenze ITS ben annotate.

Full textAbstract:
This thesis explores the history of botany as a global collection-based science by tracing parallels between utopian traditions and botanical collecting, from their sixteenth-century beginnings to the present. A range of botanical collections, such as gardens, herbaria and classification systems, have played a central role in the struggle to discover a global or universal scientific order for the chaotic, diverse and locally shaped kingdom of plants. These collections and utopia intersect historically, and are characterised by the same epistemology of collecting: the creation of order through confined collecting spaces or “no-place.” They are manipulations of space and time. Between chaos and order, both seek to make a whole from – often unruly – parts. The long history of botanical collecting is characterised by a degree of continuity of practice that is unusual in the sciences. For instance, the basic technology of the herbarium – preserving plants by mounting and labelling dried specimens on paper – has been in use for almost five centuries, from sixteenth-century Italy to ongoing digitisation projects. The format of the compilation thesis is well-suited to handling the historiographical challenge of tracing continuity and discontinuity with such a long chronological scope. The thesis is structured as a walled quadripartite garden, with the Kappa enclosing four research papers and an epilogue. The papers take a diachronic approach to explore different perspectives on botanical collections: botanical collecting in seventeenth-century Oxford, pressed plants in books that are not formally collections; and the digitisation of botanical collections. These accounts are all shaped by the world of books, text and publication, historically a male-dominated sphere. In order to acknowledge marginalisation of other groups and other ways of knowing plants, the epilogue is an explanation of an embroidered patchwork of plant-dyed fabric, which forms the cover of the thesis.Denna avhandling behandlar historien om botanik som en global samlingsbaserad vetenskap genom att följa paralleller mellan utopiska traditioner och botaniskt samlande från dess början på femtonhundratalet till idag. Olika sorters botaniska samlingar, till exempel trädgårdar, herbarier och klassifikationssystem, har historiskt spelat en central roll i sökandet efter en global eller universell vetenskaplig ordning i växtrikets lokalt rotade och till synes kaotiska mångfald. Det finns historiska kopplingar mellan dessa botaniska samlingar och utopi, som båda även präglas av vad man kan kalla samlandets epistemologi: skapandet av ordning genom avgränsade samlingsutrymmen eller ”icke-platser”. De är manipulationer av tid och rum. Det botaniska samlandets långa historia utmärks av en praktisk kontinuitet som är ovanlig inom naturvetenskapen. Herbariets grundläggande teknik att bevara växter genom att pressa, identifiera och montera dem på pappersark har varit i bruk i nästan fem sekel. Avhandlingen utnyttjar sammanläggningsformatet för att hantera den historiografiska utmaning det innebär att studera en så lång tidsperiod, genom att de ingående artiklarna behandlar skilda tidsepoker och disciplinära perspektiv samtidigt som de alla delar avhandlingens centrala tematik: ordnande genom avgränsade samlingsutrymmen. Avhandlingens struktur är baserad på den muromgärdade fyrdelade trädgården, med kappan som inneslutande fyra artiklar och en epilog.

Full textAbstract:
Since industrialization atmospheric CO₂ concentrations have increased from 280 to 365 ppmv and δ¹³Cₐᵢᵣ has decreased from -6.5 to -8.2‰. These two trends have consequences for plant physiology. I examine δ¹³C plant and physiological parameters in herbarium specimens of Atriplex confertifolia, Atriplex canescens, Ephedra viridis, Pinus edulis, Pinus flexilis , Juniperus scopulorum, and Quercus turbinella. For all species, I found relatively high and unsystematic variability. δ¹³C values for A. confertifolia and A. canescens varied by up to 7.9 and 9.5‰ respectively; δ¹³C values of these C₄ shrubs are unsuitable for reconstructing δ¹³Cₐᵢᵣ, as previously claimed. δ¹³C(plant) generally becomes more depleted except in P. edulis. Other calculated parameters such as Δ, Cᵢ/Cₐ, Cᵢ, and A/g have varying responses even among similar functional groups. Because much of the isotopic variability caused by interplant, intertree, intersite, and interannual differences is implicit, herbarium specimens are inadequate for precise detection of direct CO₂ effects on plant physiology.

Full textAbstract:
Climate change might de-couple plant-pollinator relationships if species respond differentially to environmental cues, such as temperature, but studies have been hindered by lack of long-term data. This research validates natural history collections as a source of long-term phenological data and, using these data, investigates the phenological responses to temperature of flowering in British orchids and flight in their pollinators. Herbarium specimens of O. sphegodes collected in the UK between 1848 and 1958 were compared to direct observation of peak flowering time in one population located in Southern England between 1975 and 2006. The response of flowering time to variation in mean spring temperature was statistically identical in both sets of data, providing the first direct validation of the use of herbarium collections to examine the relationships between phenology and climate. Using three important pollinator models: the solitary bee Andrena nigroaenea the digger wasp Argogorytes mystaceus, and the moth Euclidia glyphica, museum specimens and field observation gave statistically identical results, confirming the value of museum collections as a source of long-term phenological data for insects. For twelve of the fifteen orchid species studied, flowering advanced between 4.2 and 8.6 days for each 1°C increase in mean spring temperature, establishing phenological signals of flowering response to temperature. For all species mean monthly temperature in March, April or May was identified as a key temperature variable. For the sexually deceptive orchid O. sphegodes there is considerable potential for a loss of synchrony between peak flowering time and peak flight of the primary pollinator, males of A. nigroaenea with further rises in spring temperature. The advancement in peak flight of the female bee with climate warming exacerbates the potential for disruption of pollination success. Findings of this research reaffirm the need for detailed knowledge at species level in understanding the consequences of climate-driven phenological shifts for plants and their pollinators.

Full textAbstract:
This dissertation examines the literary and historical contexts of four collections of medical material from Anglo-Saxon England. These collections are widely known under the titles Bald's Leechbook, Leechbook III, the Lacnunga, and the Old English Pharmacopeia. As medical literature, these texts have tended to be primarily approached through the lens of the history of medicine or cultural history and folklore. However, as textual compositions carefully engaging with learned culture, these texts are relevant to the wider literary history of the period. The aim of this thesis is to examine these collections within specifically literary contexts, where they have been frequently overlooked. Towards this end, I take the approach of considering each of the four collections as individual, coherent texts, rather than treating them as simply as part of a general corpus of Old English medical literature, as has sometimes been done. This approach is reflected in the organisation of this thesis, which dedicates one chapter to each collection, with a final chapter on the characterisation of medicine within broader Anglo-Saxon literary culture. Each of these chapters details what I view as the distinctive qualities of a particular collection and considers what intellectual and literary milieux it may reflect. Chapter 1 discusses the strategies of compilation and translation employed in Bald's Leechbook and the relation of some passages within the text to translations associated with the Alfredian revival. Chapter 2 considers the incorporation of liturgical material within Leechbook III, while at the same time exploring the relationship of ælfe (elves) and the Christian demonic in these texts. Chapter 3 explores the textual and manuscript relationships surrounding the Lacnunga and argues that this collection reflects interests consonant with early insular expressions of grammatica. Chapter 4 examines the translation style used in the Old English Herbarium (comprising the first half of the Old English Pharmacopeia) and the place of this collection within the context of the tenth-century Benedictine Reform movement. Finally, Chapter 5 considers the representation of medicine within the larger Old English literary corpus and suggests that the depiction of medicine in these sources is ultimately positive, something that perhaps encouraged the flourishing of vernacular medical production we see testified to in the Old English medical collections. It is my hope that by highlighting the literary and learned aspects of these collections this dissertation will bring a new appreciation of these texts to a wider readership interested in Old English literature.

Resumo: Quando arquivamos o nosso passado, catalogamos cada momento da nossa experiência e gravamos nossas lembranças, estamos abrindo um processo de resgate das nossas tradições, assim como o colecionador que recolhe e conserva uma série de objetos. A procura de estratégias para preservar a memória por meio de coleções sempre interessou à humanidade. Na nossa tradição ocidental ela remonta aos tempos do studiolo medieval italiano. É esta busca por estratégias de preservação da memória que norteia a coleção ¿Mnemoteca ¿ Uma Biblioteca de Testemunhos¿ que compõe a obra ¿Herbário Mnemosine¿. Ela desenvolve plasticamente aspectos dos conceitos de arquivo e de coleção botânica e, utilizando técnicas de arquivamento botânico, pretende funcionar como um arquivo que documentará e preservará a memória afetiva de amigos e parentes, vinculadas a algum tipo de planta (árvore, flor, vegetação, etc.). Esse processo desenvolve-se por meio de ¿Exsicatas Mnemônicas¿, isto é, pranchas de parafina com impressões elaboradas com o exemplar botânico da planta indicada e o texto das lembranças afetivas entregues pelas pessoas envolvidas no trabalho. Como os espécimes botânicos, essas pranchas serão classificadas em unidades taxonômicas próprias, de acordo com as afinidades dos participantes. As pranchas foram executadas por meio de uma técnica que venho desenvolvendo e pesquisando há algum tempo, a qual denominei ¿Gravura de Vestígios¿: impressões de materiais diversos em matrizes de argila que são gravados em placas de parafina, fazendo uma referência à concepção de memória como escritura
Abstract: Whenever we file our past, sort each moment within our experience and record our memories, we initiate a process of recovering our traditions, just as a collector who harvests and keeps a series of objects. The search for memory preservation strategies through collections was always of interest for mankind. Our western tradition goes back to the times of the Italian medieval studiolo. It is this search that guides the collection ¿Mnemotheca ¿ A testimony library¿ that composes the work ¿Mnemosine Herbarium¿. This collection visually develops aspects of the archive and botanical collection concepts and, making use of botanical filing techniques, intends to function as a file that will document and maintain the affective memory of friends and relatives, linked to any kind of plant (tree, flower, vegetation, etc.). This process unfolds through ¿Exsicatas Mnemônicas¿, that is, paraffin boards with imprints elaborated with the botanical sample of the indicated plant and the text related to the affective memories delivered by the people involved in the work. Just as botanical specimens, these boards will be organized in their own taxonomic groups, according to the participants affinity. The boards were made through a technique I have been developing and researching for some time, which I have named ¿Vestige Imprinting¿, different material prints in clay matrices imprinted in paraffin boards, referring to the notion of memory as writing

Full textAbstract:
Créé à la fin du XVIIIe siècle par la East India Company, le jardin botanique de Calcutta devint un centre d’acclimatation et de classification d’espèces végétales et connut un âge d’or pendant le dernier tiers du XIXe siècle . Financé par l’empire britannique, alors à son apogée, dont Calcutta demeura la capitale en Inde jusqu’en 1911, le jardin contribuait à la fois économiquement et symboliquement au dispositif impérial. La thèse examine conjointement ces deux dimensions, ce que l’historiographie n’a pas fait jusqu’à présent. En même temps qu’il servait les capitalistes britanniques en favorisant l’exploitation agricole des terres colonisées, le jardin incarnait un discours historique selon lequel la colonisation était une entreprise civilisatrice. Son espace sémiotiquement dense mettait en scène la maîtrise coloniale de la nature. Les plantes, spécimens et publications qu’il produisait alimentaient le fonctionnement à la fois matériel et discursif d’un pouvoir qui se disait mondial, fécond et scientifique. Les histoires du jardin issues de la sphère coloniale ont donc logiquement insisté sur son rôle dans la dissémination de nouvelles espèces en Inde, échafaudant un paradigme de l’introduction botanique qui a souvent été repris de manière non critique dans l’historiographie. Cette thèse propose précisément de faire un sort à l’idéologie historique portée par ce jardin en en examinant l’envers, les contradictions et les absurdités. Tout comme l’empire qu’il servait et représentait, le jardin était profondément dysfonctionnel. À partir de sources variées, j’élabore une histoire spatiale, matérielle et sociale de cette institution qui permet d’ouvrir de nouvelles perspectives sur le fait impérial en Inde à la fin du XIXe siècleEstablished at the end of the eighteenth century by the East India Company, the Calcutta botanic garden became a centre for the acclimatization and classification of plants. The garden was funded by the imperial government and the last three decades of the nineteenth century, when the Raj reached its apex, represented its golden age. Situated in Calcutta, which remained the capital of British India until 1911, the garden contributed both economically and symbolically to the imperial system. This thesis chooses to consider these two aspects together, contrary to garden histories that have generally separated them. While the garden directly served British capitalists by contributing to the agricultural exploitation of colonized lands, it also embodied a historical discourse according to which colonization was a civilizing entreprise. Its semiotically dense space displayed the colonial control over nature. The plants, specimens and publications that it produced played, by word and deed, into the hands of a power that represented itself as global, productive and scientific. Histories of the garden produced within the colonial sphere have therefore insisted on the part it played in the dissemination of new species in India. By doing so, these histories have created a paradigm of botanical introduction that was often taken for granted in the subsequent historical production about the garden. This thesis chooses precisely to study the historical ideology that the garden embodied and sustained, a careful study of which shows that it was full of contradictions, failures and absurdities. Both the garden and the empire that it served were deeply dysfunctional. Based on a great variety of sources, this thesis presents a spatial, material and social history of the garden which sheds new light on the nature of imperialism in India at the end of the nineteenth century

Positioned between writing and drawing, the diagram is proposed by John Berger as an alternative strategy for articulating encounters with landscape. A diagrammatic approach offers a schematic vocabulary that can compress time and offer a spatial reading of information. Situated within the contemporary field of direct data visualisation, my practice-led research interprets Berger’s ‘Field’ essay as a guide to producing four field | studies within a suburban park in Canberra. My seasonal investigations demonstrate how applying the conventions of the pictorial list, dot-distribution map, routing diagram and colour-wheel reveals subtle ecological and biographical narratives.

Curiosity, it can be said, alerts us to the interface between art and science, with the
‘object’ being suspended somewhere between the two. Curiosity interfaced with
photography and collections are the main components of this thesis.
This thesis is organized around two principle outcomes: a written component and
an artistic component. The written component investigates how the use of photography as
a method of inquiry into the secondary manipulation of ready-made material results in
objects that become sites of new meaning and encourage new interpretations. The artistic
component was comprised of a photographic installation titled ‘herbarium imaginaire’
(imaginary herbarium), which featured hand-built pinhole cameras and auxiliary
photography equipment used in the production of a photographs, as well as featuring an
open-house and presentation of botanical specimens and plant collecting processes that
was held in the University of Victoria Herbarium.

AbstractThis chapter aims to present a review of the knowledge of the bryological flora for the São Tomé and Príncipe Islands (Gulf of Guinea). An updated catalogue is presented, as well as a brief overview of the first expeditions conducted by the University of Coimbra. The labels of the historical herbarium collections and correspondence were analyzed, which provides an important source of data contributing toward research in taxonomy and conservation of these oceanic islands. Since 2007, exploratory fieldwork was carried out in different habitats of this archipelago along an altitudinal gradient, aiming to improve the knowledge of the ecology and distribution patterns of its bryophyte flora. A total of 304 taxa of bryophytes (133 mosses, 164 liverworts and seven hornworts) are currently reported, of which 21 are endemic to São Tomé and Príncipe and 144 species are shared endemics with the African continent. Several vouchers, especially in the herbaria of the University of Lisbon and of the California Academy of Sciences, are still under study and will likely provide further insights and new discoveries.

Williams, Roger L. "Letters eleven to twenty-nine were addressed to Monsieur Villars, Surgeon, residing at his home in Le Noyer, but botanizing frequently as authorized, as he prepared for the publication of the prospectus of his flora. He would soon discover that the continuing patronage of the intendant, the renewal of his pension had been opposed by the religious order where he had interned in Grenoble, and that success breeds jealousies. During the summer of 1774, he made a trip into Lower Dauphiné, Provence, and Languedoc with Dr. Clappier. At Montélimar, they examined the herbaria of Dr. Pierre Garidel and the Chicoyneau family, then possessed by Dr. Jean-Joseph Menuret de Chambaud. They examined the rich collections (both herbaria and library) of Jean-François Séguier at Nîmes. At Montpellier they saw the collections of Antoine Gouan and Pierre Cusson. They were able to botanize around Avignon, Aix, Marseille, Toulon, and Hyères. The long trip accounts for the substantial hiatus in Chaix’s correspondence that summer.[1774–1779]."

The genetic diversity found in populations of crop wild relatives is an essential resource for future crop breeding, but populations are at risk of loss before germplasm has been fully conserved in genebanks. This chapter describes best practice for targeting and identifying species, and review knowledge about the variation in wild plant populations to guide the timing of collecting and approaches for genetic sampling. Indicators are presented for seed quality, ripeness and dispersal. Techniques for collection of seed, herbarium vouchers and associated data are reviewed with examples drawn from the Adapting Agriculture to Climate Change (Crop Wild Relative) project. Further research is needed to find optimal approaches for handling of seed to ensure high longevity of seed collections, and improved tools are needed to guide sampling of genetic diversity of crop wild relatives.

The paper deals with the response of Michał Fedorowski to Rostafinski’s questionnaire, published at the end of the 19th century. The text (published in the journal „Etnobiologia Polska” by Graniszewska, Leśniewska, Mankiewicz-Malinowska and Galera) includes all the answers provided by Fedorowski (supplemented with scientific names of plant parts – only those that were present in the attached herbarium), as well as a photograph of his signature (his name had previously been spelt as Federowski in scientific publications). The material in the collection is of extreme interest to linguists who investigate plant names of Lithuanian Rus’. The collection covers similar areas which Eliza Orzeszkowa investigated and described in Ludzie i kwiaty nad Niemnem [People and Flowers on the Neman River]. In this paper, I suggest a comparison of the plant names used in both collections, which complement each other. I also draw attention to additional aspects of the use of plants described by Fedorowski and the data which may be employed to describe features of the Polish language used at that time.

Wright, Kirsten. Collecting Plant Phenology Data In Imperiled Oregon White Oak Ecosystems: Analysis and Recommendations for Metro. Portland State University, March 2020. http://dx.doi.org/10.15760/mem.64.
Full textAbstract:
Highly imperiled Oregon white oak ecosystems are a regional conservation priority of numerous organizations, including Oregon Metro, a regional government serving over one million people in the Portland area. Previously dominant systems in the Pacific Northwest, upland prairie and oak woodlands are now experiencing significant threat, with only 2% remaining in the Willamette Valley in small fragments (Hulse et al. 2002). These fragments are of high conservation value because of the rich biodiversity they support, including rare and endemic species, such as Delphinium leucophaeum (Oregon Department of Agriculture, 2020). Since 2010, Metro scientists and volunteers have collected phenology data on approximately 140 species of forbs and graminoids in regional oak prairie and woodlands. Phenology is the study of life-stage events in plants and animals, such as budbreak and senescence in flowering plants, and widely acknowledged as a sensitive indicator of environmental change (Parmesan 2007). Indeed, shifts in plant phenology have been observed over the last few decades as a result of climate change (Parmesan 2006). In oak systems, these changes have profound implications for plant community composition and diversity, as well as trophic interactions and general ecosystem function (Willis 2008). While the original intent of Metro’s phenology data-collection was to track long-term phenology trends, limitations in data collection methods have made such analysis difficult. Rather, these data are currently used to inform seasonal management decisions on Metro properties, such as when to collect seed for propagation and when to spray herbicide to control invasive species. Metro is now interested in fine-tuning their data-collection methods to better capture long-term phenology trends to guide future conservation strategies. Addressing the regional and global conservation issues of our time will require unprecedented collaboration. Phenology data collected on Metro properties is not only an important asset for Metro’s conservation plan, but holds potential to support broader research on a larger scale. As a leader in urban conservation, Metro is poised to make a meaningful scientific contribution by sharing phenology data with regional and national organizations. Data-sharing will benefit the common goal of conservation and create avenues for collaboration with other scientists and conservation practitioners (Rosemartin 2013). In order to support Metro’s ongoing conservation efforts in Oregon white oak systems, I have implemented a three-part master’s project. Part one of the project examines Metro’s previously collected phenology data, providing descriptive statistics and assessing the strengths and weaknesses of the methods by which the data were collected. Part two makes recommendations for improving future phenology data-collection methods, and includes recommendations for datasharing with regional and national organizations. Part three is a collection of scientific vouchers documenting key plant species in varying phases of phenology for Metro’s teaching herbarium. The purpose of these vouchers is to provide a visual tool for Metro staff and volunteers who rely on plant identification to carry out aspects of their job in plant conservation. Each component of this project addresses specific aspects of Metro’s conservation program, from day-to-day management concerns to long-term scientific inquiry.

The conversations were intended to inform our understanding of how the pandemic had impacted the research enterprise and to share information about how institutions were planning to shape investments and strategies surrounding the research enterprise going forward. Previous Roundtables were held in April and September 2020 and reports from those conversations are available from http://www.cni.org/tag/executive-roundtable-report. As with the earlier Roundtables on this topic, June participants primarily included senior library administrators, directors of research computing and information technology, and chief research officers from a variety of higher education institutions across the US and Canada; most participating member institutions were public universities with high research activity, though some mid-sized and private institutions participated as well. The June Roundtable took place in a single convening, supplemented by an additional conversation with a key institution unable to join the group meeting due to last-minute scheduling conflicts. As before, we urged participants to think about research broadly, encompassing the humanities, social sciences, and fieldwork activities, as well as the work that takes place in campus laboratories or facilities shared by broader research communities; indeed, the discussions occasionally considered adjacent areas such as the performing arts. The discussion was wide-ranging, including, but not limited to: the challenges involving undergraduate, graduate and international students; labs and core instrumentation; access to physical collections (libraries, museums, herbaria, etc.) and digital materials; patterns of impact on various disciplines and mitigation strategies; and institutional approaches to improving research resilience. We sensed a growing understanding and sensitivity to the human toll the pandemic has taken on the research community. There were several consistent themes throughout the Roundtable series, but shifts in assumptions, planning, and preparation have been evident as vaccination rates have increased and as organizations have grown somewhat more confident in their ability to sustain largely in-person operations by fall 2021. Still, uncertainties abound and considerable notes of tentativeness remain, and indeed, events subsequent to the Roundtable, such as the large-scale spread of the Delta variant of COVID-19 in the US, have eroded much of the confidence we heard in June 2021, though probably more around instructional strategies than the continuity of the research enterprise. The events of the past 18 months, combined with a growing series of climate change-driven disruptions, have infused a certain level of humility into institutional planning, and they continue to underscore the importance of approaches that emphasize resilience and flexibility.
