Consequently, the protection of biodiversity has become a global concern. Biological names serve as biological identifiers and the use of correct biological names helps promote biodiversity conservation research.

However, these resources are scattered across various database websites or personal computers. Users must invest a significant amount of time collecting these resources and expend substantial effort to learn, use and maintain them, consequently leading to high user learning and usage costs. Here, we propose a solution to address the above problem. We collected mainstream and freely available taxonomic datasets from around the world, integrated them into an extensive taxonomic dataset and subsequently mapped the data in this summary database to Solr search engine. Then, based on these taxonomic datasets, we designed database, algorithms and system, developed the system and finally established an online plant name service system (PNSS).

Its application is predicted by the need to preselect specimens by taxon and region, as well as by batched digitisation, which occurs with significant interruptions. Focusing on certain taxonomic groups from specific regions allows us to digitise specimens that could be more valuable for early scientific processing. At the same time, the herbarium benefits from such a digitisation model by revising the existing collection classification and keeping the initial ID system. The presented digitisation workflow can be easily reproduced in any herbarium with a limited budget. The purpose of this paper is to provide detailed description and schemas of the principal digitisation stages applied at the LWS Herbarium and to briefly discuss the steps crucial for a successful result. Provided information should help to maintain the digitisation and choose appropriate equipment and materials. We can conclude that, despite its general complexity, the described workflow demonstrated itself as viable and relevant due to its robust design and focus on data quality. Despite a focus on specialists' involvement, it maintains flexibility that allows combining volunteers and, if needed, outsourced efforts. Moreover, its modularity promotes independence of principal digitisation stages and allows long interruptions between the digitisation batches.</p>","PeriodicalId":55994,"journal":{"name":"Biodiversity Data Journal","volume":"13 ","pages":"e148861"},"PeriodicalIF":1.0,"publicationDate":"2025-03-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11971642/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143797060","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"环境科学与生态学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, the potential impact of these changes on functional diversity and phylogenetic diversity remains poorly understood. In this study, we monitored bird communities in Qiyunshan National Nature Reserve in southern China for nine years (2014-2022). We examined temporal trends in taxonomic, functional and phylogenetic diversity metrics and compared observed phylogenetic diversity values with expected values to determine the mechanisms driving community assembly. Additionally, we evaluated the temporal trend of beta diversity. A total of 118 bird species were recorded, with the dominant species including Chestnut Bulbul (<i>Hemixoscastanonotus</i>), Grey-cheeked Fulvetta (<i>Alcippemorrisonia</i>) and Great Tit (<i>Parusmajor</i>). We found that species turnover was the principal driver of temporal variations in species composition. However, species richness, functional diversity and phylogenetic diversity fluctuated throughout the study period, showing no clear trend of increase or decrease. Our findings indicate that the composition of bird communities is shaped by environmental filtering and neutral processes. The changes in taxonomics may be due to changes in the availability of resources and random substitution arising from the dispersion process. Protected areas have the potential to attract new bird species with similar functional and genetic relationships to those already present. This leads to minimal changes to overall functional and phylogenetic diversity, suggesting a degree of functional redundancy amongst species that are replaced or added. Notably, we observed a persistent increase in species loss over time, raising concerns about the potential impact on the future functional stability of the system. We highlight that the asynchronous patterns of taxonomic, functional and phylogenetic diversity in birds emphasise the importance of multidimensional diversity metrics. Consequently, we suggest that functional and phylogenetic diversity should be regarded as essential indicators alongside species richness when evaluating conservation outcomes in nature reserves. This approach provides a more comprehensive understanding of the complexity of ecological communities and provides information for more effective conservation strategies.</p>","PeriodicalId":55994,"journal":{"name":"Biodiversity Data Journal","volume":"13 ","pages":"e145093"},"PeriodicalIF":1.0,"publicationDate":"2025-03-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11962641/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143774751","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"环境科学与生态学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
