Barnes Prairie and remnants consist of several areas of tallgrass prairie, original to southeastern Wisconsin, USA. Over time, these areas have been systematically lost to farming, grazing, housing, commercial and industry use, and infrastructure. In the 1960s, there were dozens of prairie remnants; to date, only a scattered few remain.
Bombus affinis, rusty patched bumblebee, was frequently found at Barnes Prairie during the 1980s through 1990s. They were also found at flower gard...

Fallow deer have long been prized as ornamental species and their history in the UK is closely linked to that of deer parks.

Fallow deer were first brought to Britain from the western Mediterranean during the Roman period when they were kept within enclosures known as ‘vivaria’. Genetic analysis has shown that these Roman fallow deer went extinct in Britain following the collapse of the Roman Empire. It was not until the 11th century that fallow deer were reintroduced, this time ...

iNat can enhance the personal experience of awe and learning that led us to seek out places like national parks and forests. Observations also represent an opportunity to document the biodiversity of this special area. I have compiled some tips for both new and experienced iNaturalist users. This is an invitation to consider whether these tips might help you. I am not suggesting that you only use iNat if you do all of the following. I also would not want anyone to prioritize iNat over a...

Mangroves form forests in the salty shallows where sea meets land, and are critical breeding grounds for all sorts of sea life, as well as being crucial for erosion control. Scientists argue over how to define what is and is not a mangrove, but in general, these are woody plants that have a very specific set of adaptations for flourishing in their salty, wet, shifting habitat (Barik & Chowdhury, 2014). These include visually striking root modifications, such as roots that grow up out...

I tried my first download of location data with obscured location removed (one test taxon) and it worked as expected. Thanks so much for all of your help!

Hmm well I thought it was working but I used a taxon that had both obscured and normal locations and got back only the normal ones, so apparently there is a system bug. Thanks user efmer for pointing this out.

The anemones are an early blooming wildflower which goes dormant after setting fruit. Their peak bloom time is March, and typically extends from February to April. One species has been seen blooming in December this winter--perhaps because of the unusually warm winter.

I am very much excited that my book, titled 'A Beginner's Field Guide to Moths of Malabar' is getting published. As a beginner in the field, study of the largest taxons, the Moths, was immensely an arduous job. The main issue was regarding its taxonomic intricacies. Observing them and dredging for their identities became my palatable pursuit.This book features photographic records of over four hundred species of moths which were predominantly observed from my homestead at Alakkad, a vill...

In late December 2021 I fell down stairs and was in a coma for 8 days. I was hospitalized in two locations through March 2022. While trying to get exercise and recover I fell again on a hike in December 2022 and was hospitalized again, for a week.

My plans to conduct an extended long term survey of mosses unfortunately need to be modified. I cannot drive, though I may again since day. I need to reorganize. I am getting better but it is slow. I have not been able to do much macrop...

I surveyed alone from 11:00 am to 1:48 pm. Temperature was pretty warm, 58° F, though there was a frost warning in effect. Gentle winds of 3-4 mph from the E/SE.

Zero live newts, 106 dead newts. 67 newts on the upslope side of the road, 39 newts reservoir side. All adults, no juveniles this time.

There were 86 cars, 8 trucks, 22 bicyclists, and 4 pedestrians. Two pedestrians stopped to chat about the project. The rowing club didn't seem like it was open, as there were onl...
