Do you care about undescribed biodiversity?

Feel like more and more new plant species are already threatened with extinction?

Need a reminder of why taxonomy continues to play a key role in science?

Check out our new paper, where we show that a whopping 75% of plants described after 2020 are threatened 🌿

If you're describing new species, assume they're threatened and, if poss, assess them straight away!

Check out https://matildabrown.github.io/rWCVP/ for tutorials and documentation, and for bug reporting/installation of the development version: https://github.com/matildabrown/rWCVP

There are a few known bugs that we are working on fixing ASAP so please bear with us and let us know of any issues you encounter!

Do you find yourself with questions like:

- How many plant species are endemic to [country/region/continent]?
How are they split up by genus/family?
- What is the (coarse-scale) distribution of [species/genus/family]?
- How do I reconcile plant species names between two datasets, using the World Checklist of Vascular Plants as a backbone?

Well, do we have the R package for you! Super excited to present rWCVP. a companion package to the WCVP 💻 🌿

Hello! I'm a post-doc at the Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew. Currently working on #conservation -focused research but with a background in #palaeoecology 🌲 and quantitative analyses 💻

Looking forward to being part of the #ScienceMastodon community!
