🌱 Hello to everyone interested in extracting seed measurements from images! 🌱

I’ve released an experimental version of Traitor, featuring a new option requested by some users: ordered output to keep track of individual seeds during analysis.

Never heard of Traitor?👇🧵

Excited to share our latest preprint! 🌱📸🤖
New preprint just available. Can germination of highly variable tree #seeds be predicted using images? 🌱📸.
We analyzed thousands of individual colour & X-ray seed images from 5 UK tree species, using XGBoost & CNN models to find out.

Last week, I attended the British Ecological Society meeting for the first time and enjoyed a range of fascinating talks. I also had the opportunity to present our project on the predicted impacts of climate change on the germination of UK tree populations. #kewscience @britishecolsoc.bsky.social

It took months to grow seedlings from seeds of some species featured in these photos. Take the quiz by @pagomba.bsky.social and see if you can identify them!
If you live in the UK, Happy #NationalTreeWeek! We've been working on a project to enhance the future resilience of UK forests, and along the way, we captured some cool pictures of seedlings. Here's a quiz—can you figure out which species is which? 🌲🌱🧪 👇

🧪 Happy to share a link to our Tansley Review on wood nutrients: underexplored functional traits. nph.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.... We highlight the enormous variation in wood nutrient concentrations among species, links to masting, resprouting and ecosystem carbon via decomposition.

Today, I presented our latest work on using image analysis to enhance the use of native seeds at the Congresso Brasileiro de Sementes. Thrilled to see image analysis solutions and the need for collaborative databases getting more attention at seed meetings!
