This paper develops a scalable method to prioritize areas for plant occurrence data collection, validated by experts and adaptable to national priorities.

The paper assesses the conservation status of species in large angiosperm genera, finding they are underrepresented in assessments and more likely to be threatened.

This study investigates whether epiphytes have larger geographic range sizes than terrestrial plants globally and finds that while epiphytes generally have larger ranges, families with prevalent epiphytism often have small ranges regardless of lifeform.

The paper assesses angiosperm evolutionary history at risk of extinction and identifies conservation priorities using phylogenetic trees and extinction risk estimates.

The paper finds that larger genome sizes in herbaceous angiosperms are associated with higher extinction risk, independent of climate and endemism, and may serve as a proxy for resilience and vulnerability.
