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...

insects (437 spp.) with Eastern Pondhawk most frequently observed (71 obs.)
birds (177 spp.) with Anhinga most frequently observed (364 obs)
The most observed of all species in the project was the American Alligator (544 obse...

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.
(note - only the admin can get the unobscured locations)
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.
Anemones on the southwestern Great Plains and northern Chihuahuan desert (western Texas, Okla...
Trifolium repens is a species of flowering plant in the pea family (Fabaceae) known by the common name White Clover. This perennial herb is native to Europe and central Asia, and is naturalized in California. It is one of the most cultivated clovers and is an important forage crop. It is visited by honey bees and bumble bees. The species includes varieties often classed as small, intermediate, and large, according to the petiole length. The term “white clover” is applied to...

When my kids were younger we were visiting my parents when we realized an opossum had been hit by a car in front of their house. The opossum had been laying in the ditch for a few days before they noticed it. They had a nice sized yard and still lived in my childhood home, but ...
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...

Традиционно в начале каждого года Игорь Поспелов (@taimyr) готовил серию постов о перераспределении усилий по документации флоры топ-регионов проекта "Флора России". С красочными картами мы рассказывали о региональных диспропорциях данных в проекте "Флора России", делая это накануне каждого нового полевого сезона. Задача была простой: показать, куда следует отправиться, чтобы п...

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 did a comparison of data from USDA plants and inaturalist for the area. The following are noted but we don't have observations. Be sure to make an observation if you encounter any of these.

Lonicera dioica limber honeysuckle IA(Lyon), SD(Lincoln, Minnehaha, Yankton)
Symphoricarpos albus common snowberry MN(Pipestone)
Cornus obliqua silky dogwood NE(Knox), SD(Clay, Union, Yankton)

We're happy to announce another online meeting! Here are the details:
This week we'll look at the identification of the subfamilies of Tabanidae, and I will simultaneously work on an illustrated guide to the subfamilies for the Fly Guide, using @aispinsects existing notes.
As always, our meetings are completely informal, and everyone is invited to speak their minds and ask questions to the...

This is a guide to the Lanternflies (Family Fulgoridae) of the Andaman and Nicobar Islands (India). Yes, this is the fist journal post here, but I will be making many more!
Ok, I know what most of you are thinking, why take off such a cool project with limited island diversity? Well, I feel that islands biodiversity is amazing, and here's why:
This section is not important, and therefore you can skip it. But if you are still interested.

Added Shiloh Ridge tract to the boundary (place).
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...
Вместо отрядов Кантарелловых, Пецициевых и Руссуловых в списке видов появились отдельные семейства из них. Было наблюдений/видов 783/190, после уточнения стало 749/176.
简单记录一下我自今日起所做的修改
总体原则:
分类参考Clements,中文名国内鸟优先参考中国观鸟年报,国外鸟主要参考IOC
对于有多个中文名的,将默认显示的中文名调整为上述名录中的;对于一些生僻且无必要、或引起误会的中文名(多来自英文直译或繁转简)直接删除

C'est sur le chemin de Vallauris à Biot.
Au bord de la route se trouvent les premiers Oxalis pes-capreae. Ils vont se répandre, c'est juste une question de temps.
Had no idea what this was!
