Maribeth is a plant systematist based in Brookings, South Dakota, USA.

## Collaboration statement
I apply evolutionary history (phylogenies) to understand patterns of species relationships, community assembly, and trait evolution. As Director of the CA Taylor Herbarium (SDC), I am interested in creating an Extended Specimen Network for our prairie species that links specimens to related metadata (locality, data, genetic, trait). Many species used in plant restoration have very little available trait data, and I would be interested in filling this gap.

Editors @open-traits-network/editors: please see https://github.com/open-traits-network/open-traits-network.github.io/tree/master/_members#readme for information on registration process.

Hi Maribeth! Your profile is now active at https://opentraits.org/members/maribeth-latvis . Welcome aboard! I love the extended specimen network concept, as this seems like a sort of "gold standard" for biodiversity data!
