Universal Hyb-Seq kits capture considerable intraspecific variation: Less is more in herbarium-inclusive molecular ecology

This study compares universal and custom target capture sequencing kits for detecting intraspecific genetic variation in dandelions, finding that universal kits provide sufficient variation for discrimination despite lower diversity.

Data-centric AI approach for automated wildflower monitoring

The paper introduces a dataset and a PyTorch model for automated wildflower monitoring, achieving a high mAP score for species identification and counting.

Phylotranscriptomics Reveals the Reticulate Evolutionary History of a Widespread Diatom Species Complex

The paper uses transcriptome and morphometric analyses to resolve the evolutionary relationships within the Nitzschia palea species complex, revealing reticulate patterns and hybridization.
