Some Peer-reviewed Research Articles That Used Digitized Herbarium Data
Panchen, Zoe E., Richard B. Primack, Tomasz Anisko, and Robert E. Lyons. 2012. Herbarium specimens,
photographs, and field observations show Philadelphia area plants are responding to climate change.
American Journal of Botany 99(4):751-756.
0n average, the Greater Philadelphia species studied are flowering 16 d earlier over the 170-yr period and 2.7 d earlier per 1 ° C rise in monthly minimum temperature.

flora using herbarium records. Journal of Ecology 99(4):1055-1063.
The last 70 years have seen a significant turnover in species presence, most notably a decrease in native plant species number (2.4 per year) and quality, with an accompanying increase in non-native plants of 1.4 per year. Loss of species has been non-random, with a disproportionate number of high-quality wetland plants lost. Invasive (shrubs) likely present the greatest threat to remaining biodiversity.

A set of interesting modules for teaching students about data. Ten powerpoints covering different aspects of data management can be downloaded from this site. Suitable for a college course, topics include data management (and why!), data entry, quality control, metadata, and managing and designing data workflows.
