A Linnaeus NG interactive key to the species of Glomera (Orchidaceae, Coelogyninae) from Southeast Asia.

We present a multilingual interactive key available online (http://glomera.linnaeus.naturalis.nl) that can be used on any web browser without the need for installing additional software. The key includes 169 species of Glomera, a genus within the necklace orchids (Coelogyninae) not yet comprehensively treated in any recent field guide or web-based survey. With this key, plants can be identified using a combination of vegetative and floristic characters in addition to distribution and ecology as a first step to further taxonomic revisions. We urge anyone with an interest in wild orchids in Southeast Asia to contribute new observations to update current information on the distribution of these overlooked plants as a first step for a taxonomic revision and to gain more insight into their conservation status.

Introduction

Southeast Asia is one of the richest biodiversity regions on earth. Its complex geological history contributed to unique biota and high concentration of endemic species (Myers et al. 2000). The region also suffered the highest rate of habitat loss and associated biodiversity due to deforestation and global warming (Carr 2004; Sodhi and Brook 2006; Sodhi et al. 2010). More than 7 million hectares of forests were lost per year between 2000 and 2010 to meet rising demands for food, fuel and fibres (FAO 2016). Global warming accelerates the current biodiversity crisis that will especially lead to the extinction of those species living on mountain tops (Spehn et al. 2010). To measure the impact of deforestation and global warming on the species level, biodiversity indicators are very useful to monitor local biodiversity losses (Caro and O’Doherty 1999; Lindenmayer et al. 1999; Soberόn et al. 2000; Kati et al. 2004). Orchids are an ideal flagship group to investigate biodiversity changes because of their enormous popularity amongst plant enthusiasts worldwide and widespread distribution (Newman et al. 2007). Unfortunately, the number of professional orchid taxonomists is dwindling. On the other hand, wildlife photography has been on the rise in the last decades because of the improved technology of cameras, lower costs and more accessible web-based portals to store and share photographs online. Free web-based portals such as Pbase, Facebook, Flicker, Pinterest, Instagram, Google+, SmugMug and other sites provide a platform to exchange photographs accessible to anyone, anywhere and anytime. Portals such as Google+, Yahoo’s Flicker and SmugMug also provide features like geotagging, enabling users to add additional data such as when and where a photograph was made in the field.

The downside of photographs uploaded by orchid enthusiasts is that plants are often incompletely or wrongly identified, especially when it concerns orchids for which no comprehensive, up-to-date taxonomic information is available. To correctly identify a plant species, plants need to be keyed out with the help of field guides, containing a description or key of all species known to occur in an area. Plant identification can be challenging, especially for novices when they have to use dichotomous keys filled with specialistic terms (Mangold 2013). With the onset of the internet era, online and real-time information can be shared, including interactive online keys for species identification. Several software packages for making interactive online keys by converting paper-printed dichotomous keys into computer-aided interactive keys are already available such as LINNAEUS 2.0, Lucid or FRIDA (Martellos 2010; Lindsay and Middleton PageBreak2009; Farr 2006). For , online identification keys have already been developed for species of European orchids and the genera L. and Jones ex R.Br. using the Lucid3 and Xper3 platforms at the University of Basel (https://orchid.unibas.ch/index.php/en/orchidinfos/orchid-keys).The interactive keys produced with these programmes are much more user-friendly than traditional keys. They can therefore be used by a broad range of users ranging from novice plant enthusiasts up to professionals. With more accessible identification keys, it will become increasingly easy for novice users to identify plants photographed in the wild correctly.

Better identification of plants in the wild is especially needed for overlooked taxa. A prime example of such are the necklace orchids (), a popular group often seen in cultivation because of their showy flowers. They belong to subfamily and comprise a total of 16 genera (Gravendeel et al. 2001; Gravendeel et al. 2005; Kosina and Szkudlarek 2015). Blume is one of the least known genera of the necklace orchids. Species of this genus are rarely cultivated. When not in flower, most species resemble a small ericaceous shrub rather than an orchid and, regarding biomass, is one of the predominant orchid genera in the montane forests of New Guinea (www.orchids.naturalis.nl). A total of 169 species are known of after 27 species of Ridl. were united under in 2016 (Shaw 2016; Govaerts et al. 2018). The key characteristics of the genus are the elongated, often branching stem with many leaves that are enveloped by warty sheaths at the base. These species mainly occur in New Guinea but some have expanded their distribution up to Fiji, the Philippines and the New Hebrides. Most are epiphytes or terrestrials in either lowland or montane rainforest up to subalpine environments. Flowers are mostly white, but some species have orange, salmon-pink or green-coloured flowers. Inflorescences are usually single-flowered, but some species have multiple flowered inflorescences.

Traditional keys that already exist for are in the English and German languages only and either restricted to genus level or specific geographical regions. Examples include keys for Fiji (Kores 1989) and Papua New Guinea (van Royen 1979; www.orchids.naturalis.nl). With this publication, we present an up-to-date and accessible multilingual interactive key using the Linnaeus NG platform for identification of all species of in Southeast Asia.

Software technical specification

Linnaeus NG (http://linnaeus.naturalis.nl/) is a web-based species information management system. Linnaeus NG has several modules such as species and additional features such as media (in which distribution maps and illustrations can be found) and two types of keys. For this study, a single entry key and multi-entry key were built. Linnaeus NG has been developed using open source techniques (PHP, MySQL) and is hosted in a Linux environment. On the client-side, project administrators interact with the programme through a web browser. A recent version of all major browsers PageBreakPageBreakPageBreakPageBreakis supported for regular platforms and tablets. Currently, Linnaeus NG is proprietary software; updates and changes can only be made in agreement with the Naturalis Biodiversity Center. However, access to Linnaeus NG is not limited to employees or associates of Naturalis Biodiversity Center and can be granted on request.

Conditions of use

Linnaeus NG version 2.5 is free to use for personal and non-commercial use. Data will be guaranteed for long term sustainable hosting if they are complying with national standards in research and education. The data must be sharable and free to access and, in later stages, the developer may include adequately licensed content in Bioportal (http://bioportal.naturalis.nl/).

User interface

Users can access the key at http://glomera.linnaeus.naturalis.nl and it can be used online using any web browser. No additional software is required. The interface was designed to be able to access from any device with flexible layout. The navigation menu is shown on the left side. The menu includes an index, species list, single-access key, multi-access key, two language options (English or Bahasa Indonesia) and a glossary. A user can directly search for a species by using the search box on the top. If the user does not yet have a clue about the identity of the species, a single-access key is available with 166 steps to help with the identification process. A multi-access key is also provided, in which remaining choices with 100% fit only are indicated at every step. A glossary is present to help novice users to understand terms used in the descriptions and keys.

Data

Morphological characters used in the interactive key (Figure 1; Table 2) were initially selected from already existing dichotomous keys. Not all characters turned out to be clear to both advanced and novice users, though, so the number was reduced to a final selection after tests of preliminary versions of the key by students of the annual Orchid Biology Course taught at Basel University in 2017. Students were provided with a similar set of specimens and we monitored if they were able to come up with the correction identification within half an hour and which characters were considered easy to use and which were not. Both keys were constructed independently. For the single entry key, it is possible to start at any step and, if you want to start again, you have to click on step 1. For the multi-entry key, you have to select the option ‘Start all over’ if you want to start again. All character states used are illustrated by images.

Discussion

The interactive key presented here for of Southeast Asia encompasses more species and geographic areas than any existing key currently available for this genus. Next to English, it was also written in a language commonly used in Southeast Asia, Bahasa Indonesia, which enables a much wider group consisting of both novice and advanced users in the region to identify these orchids correctly. The main challenges to construct this key consisted of the fact that type descriptions were often rather vague and that many type collections were lost after the bombing of the herbarium of the Botanic Garden and Botanical Museum in Berlin in the second world war. Of the 169 species, a total of 52 types were lost. We therefore studied a lot of additional collections, all listed under Species, option Collection specimens on the website, to verify character states.

Compared with traditional dichotomous keys, interactive keys can be used much more easily by relatively novice users (Jacquemart et al. 2016). Users of this key can PageBreakquickly survey images of remaining species after selection of a first set of characters such as flower colour and distribution. This key therefore enables much faster (i.e. seconds rather than minutes) identification of the best candidate from the remaining choice than working through a traditional key until the final result appears with little indication of the remaining potential outcomes during the identification process. When using a conventional dichotomous key, a user is not provided with an indication of the remaining taxa during the identification process and can only hope that the final outcome matches the candidate. Professional taxonomists often rely on extensive previous exposure to species during the identification process but novice users cannot fall back on this.

Our key will hopefully urge the users to further enrich the database and help update the distribution of species or detect possible new species. Pictures on the web placed there by enthusiasts are considered to be an essential source for the discovery of new data (Marshal 2008). Use of our key by more wildlife photographers will help to record the presence of species in geographic regions where they were previously overlooked. The idea of democratisation of taxonomy by involving the general public (hobbyists, naturalists, tourists) to this field could trigger higher interest in currently unexplored taxa. Recently, the taxonomy and biogeography of diving beetles in Bali could, for instance, be improved by using citizen scientists and social networks such as Facebook and WhatsApp (Suprayitno et al. 2017).

A first indication that the same might happen for orchids is illustrated by the fact that we could combine historical, literature-based data and recent photographs of plants taken by wildlife photographers of Schltr., (Schltr.) J.J. Sm., (P.Royen) J.M.H. Shaw and Schltr. Pictures of flowering plants, taken in Papua of the first species, the Solomon islands of the second and Papua New Guinea of the third and the fourth and deposited on Flickr and SmugMug, came to our attention during this study. Once contacted by us, the photographers provided more detailed locality data and dates, which enabled us to update the distribution maps and also the flowering time of these species.

We also used our key to assign a name to a yet unknown species photographed. For example, on the photograph of sp. 2010-064 uploaded in the username PNG Collection of Smugmug, we could see details such as the shape of the leaf sheath, tooth and warts, colour and shape of the leaves and leaf apex and the colour of the flower (white with a green lip and red lip tip). After selecting all the characters that could be identified from the photograph and additional data such as location and altitude, we could reduce the number of species from 169 to 10. We ended up with identifying it as cf. by comparing the photograph to a drawing made by Friedrich Richard Rudolf Schlechter in 1923 that accompanied the type description. The type of this species was lost in the herbarium of Berlin and no documented photograph has yet been published. The photographer could provide us with locality data in the Madang province of Papua New Guinea. With the aid of our interactive key, we could therefore simplify the process of identification of this unidentified species.

Conclusions

We expect that the interactive key presented here for of Southeast Asia will enable a higher number of people to collect more precise and more reliably identified observations of species of this overlooked orchid genus. It is user-friendly due to the many illustrations and colour photographs, encompassing a combination of historical, literature-based and recent, web-mined data of all species rather than subsets only and written in a language commonly spoken in parts of the world where these orchids occur in the wild. The key was designed for efficient use by both inexperienced and advanced orchidologists. This publication accompanies the release of version 1.0. We encourage all users to provide feedback to improve and further expand this version by contacting us by email to gain more insight into the current distribution of these overlooked orchids. This will enable us to accurately assess their conservation status. By obtaining more knowledge of the regions of distributions but without disclosing too detailed locality data, we hope to prevent extinction of these orchids in the wild.
