Abstract
Addressing Uncertainties in Machine Learning Predictions of Conservation Status.
Extinction risk assessments are increasingly important to many stakeholders (Bennun et al. 2017) but there remain large gaps in our knowledge about the status of many species. The IUCN Red List of Threatened Species (IUCN 2019, hereafter Red List) is the most comprehensive assessment of extinction risk. However, it includes...Walker, Barnaby ; Leão, Tarciso ; Bachman, Steven ; Lucas, Eve ; Nic Lughadha, Eimear

Identifying Novel Features from Specimen Data for the Prediction of Valuable Collection Trips.
Primary biodiversity data provide “what, where, and when” data points: the assertion that a species occurred at a particular point in space and time. These are most valuable when associated with specimens stored in natural history museums and herbaria, which evidence the assertions with reference to a physical specimen. The...Nicolson, Nicky ; Tucker, Allan

Abstract
Progress in Authority Management of People Names for Collections.
The concept of building a network of relationships between entities, a knowledge graph, is one of the most effective methods to understand the relations between data. By organizing data, we facilitate the discovery of complex patterns not otherwise evident in the raw data. Each datum at the nodes of a...Groom, Quentin ; Besombes, Chloé ; Brown, Josh ; Chagnoux, Simon ; Georgiev, Teodor …

Cryobiotechnology for the long-term preservation of oak (Quercus sp.) genetic resources.
Oaks (genus Quercus) are dominant and iconic trees in most European, American, Asian and North African forests, from cool temperate to tropical environments. There are at least 600 species of Quercus globally with high ecological and economical importance. However, 45% of the species evaluated by IUCN are considered threatened, being...Ballesteros, D. ; Nebot, A. ; Pritchard, H.
