Критерии Красного списка МСОП играют важную роль в объективной оценке риска вымирания растений и используются не только для глобальной оценки, но и для ведения национальных Красных книг.
Критерии Красного списка помогают учитывать сокращение численности, ограниченность ареала и малую численность популяций, что позволяет эффективно приоритизировать виды для охраны. Это способствует разработке национальных стратегий по сохранению биоразнообразия, направленных на предотвраще...
When I first walked into the woods, I was on an intense search for fungi, I didn't realize how difficult it would be to find these decomposers because they were so small and hidden by the fallen leaves. I started by looking around fallen tree trunks or branches, environments I supposed would have a high chance of a decomposer nearby. This day, I went on my walk later than usual, in the late afternoon, and found myself in the forest as the sun set. The weather was relatively cool. I went ...

Thank you for participating in this project. You may have noticed that there have been some changes lately. I've added some rules, mostly designed to prevent additions to the project that should not be added.
Surprisingly, I found a lot of observations that don't qualify for the project for one of the following reasons:
the organism was not an insect (this included plants and birds, among others),
there was nothing flying in the image (all entries must have an insect...
ANU ecologist Dr Ana Gracanin installed the camera in a tree hollow 16 metres above the ground in Tallaganda forest in NSW, to raise awareness about the plight of the endangered Greater Gliders.
It is a large tree hollow, one of the best that Dr Gracanin has seen.

For the first Field Assignment, I decided to head down to the Hayward Marsh. I took around a 1 hour and 45 minute hike/walk around the area. The marsh is a fresh/brackish marsh. This is due to the marsh ponds using a mixture of treated wastewater. During my time at the Marsh, I saw a variety of birds, most I was not able to get a good picture of because they would fly off before I got close enough. As I walked around the marsh, it became obvious that humans had tampered with the marsh. T...

2 paths were mowed Oct 3 to access the open fields by the river, as well as cleared a path to the forested area via the woods road if anyone wants to take participants to the forest area.
The schedule is as follows:
7:30am to 10:30 am bird banding with Noah.
7:30am to 10:30 am bird walk with Andrew.
10:00am to Noon insect walk with Joe.
10:00am to Noon plant walk with Celia.
It was a small turnout from SLT volunteers, but folks could walk around toge...
I have set up a few guides on iNat with iNat ressources. I use to focus my field activities and to support my identifications. As far as there only iNat ressources included, I would not mention that I used one, as I would not mention if I browsed through automated suggestions on iNat to support my ID.
Registros de Flora y Fauna.

I live close to this churchyard which I first visited in 2022 casually looking for any fungi and finding just 1 small Galerina sp.
Later I learnt that churchyards are potential sites for waxcaps due to the presence of unimproved, occasionally mowed grass swards. So in Autumn 2023 I went back for a closer look and was pleased to find 5 waxcaps, 2 Clavarioids and an Entoloma. One of the waxcaps was later identified by
I went on a roughly 45 minute walk this weekend in the woods on Waban Hill. It was warm outside today, especially for October. The sun started setting a bit by the end of my walk which gave the whole forest a nice glow. I found myself straying from the path in the attempt to find more types of fungi. I saw a number of fallen trees in the distance and went to explore. I felt as though the fungi would be easier to find if I went deeper in the woods and near the dying trees, as they aid in ...
I walked in Houghton Garden on one of the trails close to Hammond Pond. The weather was cloudy and in the low 70s, making the walk very enjoyable. It was my second time walking through Houghton Garden, but it was fun to have an objective of finding different fungi. All my observations are of organisms that were very close to the trail. I thought the mushrooms in the Trametes genus were the most interesting because of their shape and coloration. The Trametes mushrooms and the other fungi ...
Today I went for a run along the Hudson River in New York City, where the weather was sunny with a cool breeze, and the temperature was around 70°F. While running, I noticed several different types of fungi in the urban green spaces near the water. Among the most interesting were Turkey Tail mushrooms growing on a fallen log, with their colorful fan-like structures. I also spotted some Common Ink Cap mushrooms, which were in the process of dissolving into a black liquid, as well as some ...
Hace una semana pude observar una pelea entre dos ardillas rojas (sciurus vulgaris), una bajo del pino y la otra la persiguió, corrían por el suelo y en cuanto notaron mi presencia subieron al pino más cercano lo más rápido que pudieron.
Un camino forestal separa el pinar en dos, por lo que de pino en pino, llegaron a dos árboles muy cerca uno del otro, y saltaron una distancia aproximada de 2,5m de longitud entre el pino de un lado del camino y el otro, la perseguidora se cansó ...
I went to Hayward Marsh, which is a salt marsh community. It was sunny, with clear skies, even early in the morning. Lots of brown plants were around the trail, which might be because of the lack of water near the plants, as greener plants were near water sources in the marsh. The water sources were still and muddy, mud mounds would form near the edges, forming little mud islands. Lots of birds would go to the water, where it was cool and where there was probably food, as some birds were...
During my nature walk in the Hammond Pond Reservation, I saw an incredible amount of biodiversity and was amazed by all of the different species that occupy the same habitat. It was a beautiful October day, about 70 degrees and sunny - perfect weather for being outdoors. My friend and I ended up spending an hour walking through the woods and sitting by the pond. Given the theme of Fungi, I focused my observations on the species I could find in this Kingdom of the Eukarya domain. Almost i...

I visited the Riverway Park in Fenway to observe fungi and algae. Walking around the park in the morning, I noticed that the area around the pond was humid and warm due to the sunlight. The park was exceptionally well maintained, as evidenced by the cleanliness of the paths. For instance, there were no organisms found on the track, aside from some rocks. I specifically chose to visit the park in the morning to look for fungi that tend to appear during this time....
¡Muchas gracias por unirte y colaborar con tus observaciones!
So, this was my idea for a way to celebrate my birthday with friends, wherever they may be. If you're already familiar with iNaturalist, then you probably know how this works. Just join the project, then go out and observe some nature on October 18-20. If you're not already familiar with iNaturalist, then keep reading.
What is iNaturalist?
iNaturalist is a way to identify plants, animals, and fungi out in nature. You take a photo of something, and then it will offer...
We're growing by leaps and bounds! Over 300 species documented and research grade reports are growing steadily!
iNat Epic
Greetings, fellow traveler!
Welcome to the Project "iNat Epic'', where we focus on observing and identifying species with names that are directly the same as, or bear resemblance to characters in Greek Poet Homer's Epic ''Odyssey''. While some species are directly named after characters in the Odyssey, like ''Polyphemus Moth'' (Antheraea polyphemus), others are just coincidences or have ties to other Greek mythologies as well! This can include anything from your min...
1 Paralamyctes from Table Mountain
These two species are easily confused. Best way to separate is to take a close up photo of the base of the corolla tube. If slit to near base then Lobelia pedunculata, if not the Isotoma fluviatilis.

This week, we had some beautiful fall days here in Seward. I was able to go for a walk along the beach at Lowell Point and enjoy the sun. It was high tide, so I was walking on the upper portion of the beach and saw a bunch of patches of these plants that I have seen before, but really know nothing about. With the help of other observations on iNaturalist in this area, I was able to figure out that they are sea sandwort.
Sea sandwort grows in dense patches above the high tide lines. ...

Today while I was out on a walk on the beach at Auke Rec, here in Juneau, I came across this plant in the land. What intrigued me was that it looked like it was rooted into the sand. I have always seen these plants on the beach but never really thought to look them up or anything so I decided to do this week's post on it. After looking at the many suggested plants while I was making the observation, I am pretty sure it is the sea sandwort. Its scientific name is Honckenya peploides (Edib...
