The digitisation workflow currently applied at the herbarium of State Museum Natural History NAS Ukraine (LWS) differs from other similar by cascade ('object-to-data-to-image') multilevel organisation. Its application is predicted need to preselect specimens taxon and region, as well batched digitisation, which occurs with significant interruptions. Focusing on certain taxonomic groups specific regions allows us digitise that could be more valuable for scientific processing. At same time,...

Digitisation of hosted specimens is a crucial task for all herbaria worldwide and one the main streams today. By digitising their collections publishing datasets, grant access to essential data wide research audience and, as result, involve in scientific work more actively. also allows virtual preservation collections, which especially important conditions hostilities, when entire collection can be destroyed or damaged moment. This paper describes two datasets recently published GBIF...
The chemical composition of Sedum ewersii Ledeb., a plant indigenous to Kazakhstan and traditionally utilized in folk medicine, was comprehensively investigated, with focus on its various parts. Fresh samples collected May 2023 from the Almaty region underwent hydrodistillation extract volatile components, followed by analysis using gas chromatography coupled mass spectrometric detection, which identified total 71 compounds across different parts, including root (underground part), (aerial...
The recruitment life stage, including germination and early seedling establishment, is the most vulnerable stage of plants has cascading effects on plant performance at later stages. However, surprisingly little known eco-evolutionary processes that determine success biological invasions this stage. We performed experiments with without simulated drought stress monitored growth in diploid tetraploid Centaurea stoebe . While diploids are major cytotype native European range, only tetraploids...
The variation in the shape of flowers, reproductive structures angiosperms, is generally investigated a qualitative way, or using multivariate statistical analyses distance data (i.e. traditional morphometrics). In this study, we evaluate application geometric morphometric methods to flowers herbarium specimens, material that still being massively overlooked as far these are concerned. Flowers Delphinieae (Ranunculaceae) synorganized: spurred and nectariferous dorsal petals nested within...
The dataset represents a comprehensive collection of occurrence records concerning the genus
This article presents the format and outlines goals objectives of project: "Digitisation natural collections damaged by hostilities associated factors: development protocols implementation based on State Museum Natural History National Academy Sciences Ukraine." project, financed Research Fund Ukraine as part competition "Science for Reconstruction in War Post-War Periods", involves testing digitisation technologies vulnerable history museum will be implemented 2023-2024. The used to develop...
Summary Numerous plant species are expanding their native ranges due to anthropogenic environmental change. Because cytotypes of polyploid complexes often show similar morphologies, there may be unnoticed range expansions (i.e. cryptic invasions) one cytotype into regions where only the other is native. We critically revised herbarium specimens diploid and tetraploid Centaurea stoebe , collected across Europe between 1790 2023. Based on distribution in natural relict habitats phylogeographic...
In this article, we present a revised taxonomic circumscription of Aconitum subg. (Ranunculaceae) in Europe. total, the subgenus contains some 250 species with major center diversity Eastern Asia. Altogether 94 taxa (species and infraspecific taxa, including hybrids) occur Among them, 22 are native species, 28 nothospecies (including hybrid formulae). The research is based on former (since Linnaeus) recent diagnoses integrating herbarium field studies carried out Alps, Carpathians, Balkans,...
The described dataset contains occurrence records of invertebrate specimens deposited at the State Museum Natural History NAS Ukraine, Lviv, Ukraine (SMNH NASU). It combines diverse taxonomic groups, mostly belonging to class Insecta phylum Arthropoda, that were selected as prioritized for digitisation in war conditions. Selected ascertained those being most vulnerable hostilities and requiring virtual preservation. Such preservation is essential realities collection can be lost or damaged...
The current paper represents the continuation of testing budget photosystems for herbarium digitization and aims to demonstrate color reproduction accuracy besides other colorimetric characteristics five reference targets. It was shown that cheap targets Charttu can be applied purposes, at least in brand-new condition. However, degradation during use should still evaluated. At same time, X-Rite Color Checker Classic Mini found highly degraded after several years careful non-intensive use....

The problem of assessing the diversity biotic complexes is extremely important and relevant has been covered in numerous publications, mostly for certain taxonomic groups. use information retrieval systems with large databases opens up new opportunities approaches to automated biodiversity assessment. All data used this article are taken from web resource Data Centre “Biodiversity Ukraine” include museum collections, literature human observation. To evaluate species included Red Book...
The appearance and subsequent analysis of herbarium specimens for the genus Asplenium L. in collection vascular plants LWS State Museum Natural History NASU were carried out. For these purposes, electronic database «Biodiversity Ukraine» has been applied. In principal fund 12 species (373 specimens) registered. They are ordered by number representing (descending) next way: trichomanes (113 specimens), A. ruta-muraria (69), viride Huds. (67), scolopendrium (62), septentrionale (L.) Hoffm....

Abstract Integrative phylogeographic studies supported by morphometric analysis and genetic data provide significant insights into the postglacial recolonization history other factors shaping current distributions of plant species, including major forest-forming trees in Europe. However, genomic resources knowledge shrub species remain limited. Staphylea pinnata L. (European bladdernut) is a native to thermophilous broadleaf forests only representative Staphyleaceae Central Given its...
The isolation of DNA from the herbarium specimens deposited at LWS (State Museum Natural History NAS Ukraine, Lviv, Ukraine) has been tested using column-based protocol. isolated amplified different nuclear and plastid primers. yield obtained total showed no significant dependence year collection plant family studied specimens. In general, had medium (mean – 56.47 ng/µL) but relatively low purity 260/230 value 0.85 units mean 260/280 1.66 units). success amplification for old material varied...
