Choosing Licensing that Allows Scientists to use Your Observations

Most of us who add observations to iNaturalist do so in the hopes of contributing valuable information to biodiversity research and conservation. Research grade data is made accessible to the Vermont Atlas of Life scientists through the Global Biodiversity Information Facility (GBIF), an international, inter-governmental organization that compiles and distributes biodiversity information from around the world.

The break up of the project is complete

Hello everyone, for a long time now I have been working on breaking the species of conservation concern in New York state project into several smaller projects because the old one got so big that it would no longer accept new taxa. I have finally finished adding all of the taxa from the old project into the new projects.
This is a list of these new mini projects with links:

Heteralonia (Homolonia) leucothyrida (Hesse, 1956)

This species is easily identified by the wing pattern/venation:
Cell m2 not divided into two. Cross-vein m-m long, sinuous and parallel to hind margin of wing so that discal cell is long and tapered at apex.
Wings infuscated yellowish brownish to very dark chocolate-brownish basally and anteriorly, the infuscation extending as broad dark borders along apical and posterior veins to a variable extent and of variable width, with clearer areas in middle of cells.
Scaling on tho...

Day 3 of our BioBlitz challenge

Good morning everyone!

Yesterday was another very active day for our campus nature challenge. UNC Greensboro closed the gap and for a few hours relegated us to the trailing spot. We've pulled slightly ahead of them again. As of this morning, UNC Wilmington is still leading with over 1,500 observations now, with AppState at 904 and UNCG at 832. We're trailing in terms of number of observers and could use some more folks actively participating. Tell all your class mates, friends an...

Seeking species

Today for lab the iNaturalist app was used to identify species around NDMU campus for an hour. We were separated in groups and our mission was to find 20 different families such as flora, fauna and fungi. We were to take clear pictures as best as we could. One of my observations was that finding fungi took the longest and was the hardest to find. Was able to make 18 observations and next step is waiting for verification. Currently have only 2 species verified and need to wait for more. Once a...

Species Of The Week Number 52: Everything Else!

We've now reached the end of our year-long Meanwood Valley Bioblitz so a huge thank you to everyone who took part. 58 of you made an amazing 2313 observations of 880 different species! Particular shout-out to Will, Natalie, Nikhil and Katy who made over 100 observations each.

Of those 880 species 551 were then authenticated online by expert ecologists from all around the world. The un-authenticated ones were mostly those where the photos uploaded don't allow them to be clearl...

Conocephalus is a terrible terrible genus with 40+ species that all look the same, and the majority of them are undescribed. You will not get an ID. That's the end of this post.

Okay, so not quite :P
We can definitely put some names on some of the species without difficulty, even though there are just so many undescribed species across Australia. We can roughly divide the species into an 'easy group' and a 'hard grou...

Stroll Through Houghton Garden

I decided to head to Houghton Garden since it had been a while since the last time I went. It was cold outside for me but tolerable. The sun was barely setting so there was some warmth from there and the wind from earlier had calmed down. The pathways were pretty muddy and the ground was covered with leaves. I kept my eyes low much of the walk which is how I found all these mushrooms. The mushrooms were something very exciting for me to find because I never had any like these in my homet...

Nature walk #1

I did my nature walk at the Hammond Nature Preserve and pond. The weather during my walk was very chilly and windy, but the sun started to come out towards the end. In this particular location, there was an abundance of mushrooms and moss. But, there was a high species richness to both the mushrooms and the moss in that each one I saw seemed to be of a different species. The mushrooms ranged from colors like white and brown to red and orange. The moss species differed in their phenotypes...

Walk in Edmands Park

I walked around the trails of the park as it was nearing sunset. The temperature was cool, around 55F, and parts of some trails were still muddy from rainfall the day before. It was cloudy, and the park was softly lit under the trees. I saw many different kinds of flowers scattered throughout the park, but did not see many animals other than the occasional robin and a few people walking their dogs.

Houghton Garden Hike, September 25 2023

I chose to hike around Houghton Garden in Newton, MA, to observe various organisms in the area. This was the first time I had been to this area, and I thought it was a beautiful area teeming with wildlife, which is less abundant when on campus. The weather was quite overcast and slightly rainy, which had also been the case in the days before this excursion. The slight chill to the air and the few trees with foliage gave the hike an autumn feel, a nice change from the hot summer days in M...

My Reservoir Walk 9/26/23

Today for my nature walk, I walked around the Chestnut Hill Reservoir. It was an incredibly windy day, and around 60 degrees. However, the geese and swans were still swimming in the water. I noted them first, because when I think of biodiversity, my first thought is always about animals, not plants. However, there were not many wild animals that I could see in the area, so I moved on to the plants. There were lots of small white flowers that bordered the entire reservoir, which I am assu...

Art des Monats: Das Schmalblättrige Weidenröschen

Das Schmalblättrige Weidenröschen, vielen bekannt als Epilobium angustifolium, hier auf iNat als Chamaenerion angustifolium, ist eine große, attraktive und kaum zu übersehende Pflanze. Es ist eine typische Art der Schlagfluren im Wald. Und obwohl diese durch die Trockenheit der letzten Jahre immer häufiger werden, sieht man das Schmalblättrige Weidenröschen nicht häufiger, eher im Gegenteil. Möglicherweise geht auch diese Art, die man hin und wieder auch an feuchten Säumen finden kann, d...

First iNaturalist Nature Walk

This afternoon I walked to Hammond Pond. Overall, the walk took about 40 minutes. The weather was comfortable, leaning towards the chilly side. A slight breeze kicked in at some points, and the trees acted as a nice shade. I walked through quite a muddy area scattered with rocks, which I used as stepping stones. Above me was a multitude of tall trees. I saw mostly green leaves, as well as some edges of leaves beginning to turn red and yellow. There were some fallen leaves scattered on th...
