Дорогие друзья!

Напоминаем, что в субботу, воскресенье и понедельник на портале "Флора России" проводится 1/8 финала Командного кубка России по фотофиксации растений 2020 года. На Камчатке 7 утра понедельника, настало время рассказать о новостях второго дня.

Коротко о Кубке: все наблюдения, добавленные в этот период в проект "Флора России" экспертами, пойдут в зачёт кубковых очков следующих региональных проектов:

Флора Новосибирской области | Novosibirsk Oblast Flora
Флора Брянской области | Bryansk Oblast Flora
Флора Подмосковья | Moscow Oblast Flora
Флора Тульской области | Tula Oblast Flora
Флора Курской области | Kursk Oblast Flora
Флора Мордовии | Flora of Mordovia
Флора Камчатки | Kamchatka Flora
Флора Севастополя | Sevastopol Flora
Флора Омской области | Omsk Oblast Flora
Флора Иркутской области | Irkutsk Oblast Flora
Флора Воронежской области | Voronezh Oblast Flora
Флора Краснодарского края | Krasnodar Krai Flora
Флора Дагестана | Dagestan Flora
Флора Калужской области | Kaluga Oblast Flora
Флора Липецкой области | Lipetsk Oblast Flora
Флора Тюменской области | Tyumen Oblast Flora

Наблюдения из остальных регионов как обычно могут добавляться пользователями в фоновом режиме.

Регламент 1/8 финала тут (обязателен для внимательного изучения участниками и экспертами).

Табло соревнований в режиме реального времени здесь.

За два дня 1/8 финала в проект "Флора России" экспертами было добавлено 9400 наблюдений. Ещё на 5900 наблюдений за эти дни вырос антипроект. Мы преодолели отметку в 390 000 наблюдений (теперь мы будем делать релизы только каждые 20 тыс. наблюдений, а не каждые 10 тыс. как весной).

warmer weather earlier this week had many flowering plants coming into full bloom. Deep pink azelea bush attracted so many bees, the Eastern Tiger Swallowtail, and Cabbage Whites. Also several larger hummingbirds and a smaller one too.
Our returning Phoebe nesting pair has been very active as well as a new pair to us- Tufted Titmouse.
There was one brief sighting of a very deep orange butterfly-Monarch?

My wifi is terribly slow these days, so many of the observations I have uploaded don't have identifications and the GPS coordinates are wrong. Some may also be double uploads. I apologize for this and I will fix it ASAP once I can get more than 1 bar haha.

Ooey gooey innards! Meet the Lantern Stinkhorn! It is not enough for me to snap the photo to earn my honor with iNaturalist rather I must "meet" the Stinkhorn! Rewind ... I used to see these pop up in the my flowerbeds but not really give them a second though. Today ... since starting a project for my students (KCKCBioD), I have started reconnecting back with my interest in the natural world. First it was a game to ensure that I had more observations than the students, of course! But then I realized it is only when I started researching the organisms that I was identifying that I became truly excited. Now don't get me wrong, the funny "phallic" objects in my flowerbed got us curious. Side note: there are many different species of these uniquely shaped fungi belonging to the Family Phallacaea (I love taxonomy). But when I looked inside the stinkhorn, I saw the prized, stinky goo. This goo emits a scent that is appealing to some species, like flies. They are attracted to the goo, they feed on it (spores included) then later deposit spores via their feces in other locations. Brilliant example of co-evolutionary (?) adaptations or perhaps a symbiosis that evolved. It is said that the putrid smell of the stinkhorn is what lures flies to the goo and, perhaps, repels predators from the fungi. Food for the insect and reproductive success for the fungi. Of course with so many species, there may be multiple mechanisms for spore dispersal along with other unique adaptations. At the end of the day,

Nature is so Cool!

From curator @jimjohnson:

@williamkimzey those species are not found in North America. These are Boreal or Northern Bluet (Enallagma boreale or annexum), and a very close view of the male cerci is required to differentiate them. It's almost always impossible to do with photos aside from the most exceptional cases. Females are impossible to differentiate except in-hand

@williamkimzey bluets (Enallagma) are a type of damselfly. There is a British/American difference in the common name—Americans tend to use different names for some of the genera (e.g. Enallagma/Coenagrion = “bluet”, Ischnura = “forktail”), but in Britain they are mostly just “damselfly”.

It’s important to keep in mind that many of the suggestions offered by iNaturalist don’t occur here, since geography is not taken into account. It’s good to do a little bit of research before accepting the top species in the list.

Дорогие пользователи iNaturalist! Если вы есть в этом списке, значит вы (возможно сами того не зная) принимаете участие в нашем Кубке! Еще два дня можно делать наблюдения дикорастущих растений в природе и загружать их до вечера вторника. Напоминаем, что в каждом регионе топ-30 самых распространенных видов в зачет не идут. Все подробности - в региональных табло 1/8 финала Кубка, которые собраны здесь.

If you have found an injured bird that hit a window, help it immediately to improve its chances of survival. See this guide for instructions on how to help a bird that hit a window, and recommendations for how to prevent bird-window collisions from FLAP Canada.

Thank you, everyone, for taking part in the third Socially Distant BioBlitz (SDB) on 24 May! While this event had fewer participants (148) than our two previous bioblitzes, we rallied together to make >10,000 observations and document >3,300 species. This brings our SDB series totals to nearly 50,000 observations and almost 9,000 species. Well done, team! If you still have observations to submit, please do so! Although this summary has been posted, your observations will still be included in the event totals.

The United States lead the way with most observations (7,033), yet Australia took the prize for most observations per observer (219). The friendly competition for SDB species champion between @nicklambert of Australia and @alexis_orion of Germany continues to propel our tallies ever higher. Congratulations to @nick2524 and @seileonne for topping the 24 May SDB observations and identifications leaderboards, respectively!

Our collective “day” started at right at 12:00 AM local time near Coffs Harbour, Australia, where @nicklambert documented this moth in the genus Opogona. It was still well before sunrise in Japan when @utchee recorded this singing Chinese Hwamei. A few hours later, back in Australia, @cobaltducks found this dangerous looking Kangaroo Thorn . German naturalist @amzamz was the first to post from Europe, documenting this Flame Shoulder Moth, a common nocturnal insect found across Europe. More observations soon followed in Belgium, Nepal, and Laos as @gillessanmartin, @karoconniff, and @edelaquis began their respective days. Nocturnal insects were a highlight of this SDB thanks to the recent new moon, and @bonnieeamick took full advantage of this lunar timing by submitting >120 Insecta observations before sunrise in the eastern United Sates. Many other bioblitz-ers made a concentrated effort to find moths, spiders, pill bugs, and more at nearby lights, which helped arthropods make up 33% of our species total (up from 28% in our previous bioblitz). The bioblitz wrapped up after 38 hours and 59 minutes when @jciv recorded a bee fly in southern Texas at 11:59 PM local time.

We hope you can join us for the next bioblitz on 14 June, and please encourage others to participate as well.

Warm regards,

Steven Lamonde (@slamonde ), Sara Lobdell (@slob973 ) & Michael Nerrie (@mnerrie )

List of participating countries (29): Australia, Belgium, Brazil, Canada, China, Czechia, Fiji, France, Germany, Guatemala, Indonesia, Italy, Japan, Laos, Mexico, Nepal, Netherlands, Peru, Portugal, South Africa, South Korea, Spain, Taiwan, Thailand, Trinidad and Tobago, Turkey, United Kingdom, United States, and Uruguay.

It's taken just nine months to add 10,000 observers to reach the 30,000 mark. This is wonderful! Thanks to every single one of you!

I am very much in the learning process & would appreciate any input from those of you with more knowledge even telling me what macro lens attachment works best
on cellphones.
After 35 years of professional photography I sold & gave away all my equipment lol.
As soon as I can a point & shoot will be purchased, no more professional grade
equipment for me.
Thank you ALL for your time reviewing my observations,
Larry Glatt

Avec le déconfinement, les sorties en montagne et l’explosion des floraisons de printemps, le mois de mai a vu s’accélérer le rythme des observations et augmenter le nombre des participants au projet.
Du côté des indicateurs, nous avons dépassé les 2000 observations, soit le double de fin avril, et identifié 709 espèces, soit 247 nouveaux taxons, avec l’aide de 115 observateurs (+46) et de 216 identificateurs (+65). Ces chiffres soulignent la force des projets collaboratifs lorsqu’ils reposent sur une plateforme efficiente et interactive comme iNaturalist.
Parmi les plantes du mois se retrouve un bel échantillonnage des fleurs d’alpage avec bien sûr les orchidées dont 19 espèces sont déjà répertoriées. Les plus abondantes sont l’orchis mâle, l’orchis sureau, les deux espèces de céphalanthères, la néottie nid-d’oiseau, l’orchis singe et celle de Fuchs parfois confondue avec le dactylorhize tacheté.
Parmi les autres espèces observées en mai, notons l’anémone des Alpes, la gentiane acaule, l’ancolie, la raiponce en épi, la centaurée des montagnes, la soldanelle des Alpes...
Nous en oublierions presque les mousses, les fougères, les lichens et les champignons, bien que ces derniers commencent à faire leur apparition sur les vieilles souches.
La répartition est à fin mai de 87% d’espèces du règne Plantae pour seulement 13% d’espèces du règne Fungi.
En attendant un nouveau point dans un mois, nous vous souhaitons de belles balades et de bonnes observations pour le mois de juin.

Уважаемые участники проекта!

Рады сообщить Вам, что наш проект набрал уже 10000 наблюдений! Это отличный результат, который стал возможным благодаря нашей общей энергичной работе! Растет и число видов, их уже 1039.

Напоминаем всем участникам, что стартовала 1/8 финала Командного кубка России по фотофиксации дикорастущих растений на платформе iNaturalist 2020 года. Уверены, что дождливые выходные не помешают нам показать отличные результаты!

Welcome everyone to the second Fraser Coast Backyard BioBlitz. Some great observations so far!
Wow, wouldn't you just love to catch a glimpse of that Noisy Pitta! I have really noticed the reduction of insects since the last BioBlitz, due to the cold. Winter is definitely on our doorstep. Have fun everyone.

I have learned the extremely valuable lesson of not leaving Fungi anywhere a tall inquisitive dog lives!

Both species of puffballs I collected on 28 May 2020 were in my office on my desk and I left the room for 5 minutes and Diesel the wonder dog entered, chewed up and pulverised 16 odd of the tiny puffballs.

The larger stalked puffball was stolen! and it took me half an hour to find where he had taken it. That one was partially damaged. I wonder if DOG DNA will be shown on the DNA sequencing report. Arrrggg!

每個禮拜1.3.5觀察

I see many insects in pear orchards for my job and am always on the lookout for interesting insects around town. This project records some of these insects.

下大雨後

第一次觀察 一個用 app，一個用紙筆。

Over the ensuing decades, deep cultivation, cotton and drought were not kind to the black lands, and by the mid-20th Century farmlands began to be sold for other development. In 1947, a developer named Rick Strong purchased several parcels of land that surrounded a major portion of Orr Branch which became a Dallas addition known as “Hillcrest Estates”. Centered on a roughly mile-long stretch of Northaven Road, the tracts of old pasture and farm structures were subdivided, typically into 300-foot-deep lots, some with horse corrals, and restrictions required homes to be a minimum of 2,300 square feet. Landscaping on these semi-rural lots often involved adapting the native plant species. South of Northaven, a small chain of water impoundments lay along Orr Branch, some these descended from old stock tanks used by the precursor farms. With time, additional dams, bridges and retaining walls were constructed, with old horse shoes turning up in the excavations.

Life is just barely slowing for the summer. Spring Interns are 'graduated' which means I have time to myself for an entire Friday. No Saturday classes to plan for or communicate about! Two of the CPC interns joined Scott and me on today's hike, all social-distancing, of course.

We took the prairie walk so they could see all three species of Vervain and distinguish between the three: V. brazilian, V. halei, and V. xutha. The dragonflies were all out, as were the mating butterflies. The surprise of the day was the Reakirt's Blue in the prairie, as well as the GIANT wolf spider off the path. Scott mistook it for a tarantula, it was so big.

After our friends parted ways, we marched on a bit further. Sadly, photos of juvenile Barred Owls did not turn out well enough for ID, but while Scott was bench-napping, I was able to record some parent calling back and forth with cicadas singing in the background.

The rookery was also in full swing. I found it funny that iNaturalist had 'monkey' right up top to name the juvenile ibises. I guess AI was confused by the striped bills and the ugly little faces (only a Mama could love).

All-in-all, another great hike at BBSP, third week straight. We'll see if next Friday pans out for another day trip. *crossing fingers*

Nice to see you again, #MyBrazos. (PS - I included the handful of observations from yesterday's volunteer stint.)

Historically, bivalves have almost exclusively been identified by their shells. Preserving soft parts is much more difficult than keeping shells and soft parts are not present in the fossil record. Furthermore, species identification is frequently impossible without a view of the inside of the shell, which is only possible with dead individuals. Today, however, photography of bivalves in situ is getting much easier and much more common. When shells and soft parts are correlated, we may discover ways to identify species in their natural habitats. Yet, many species cannot be identified in situ from their shells because of their burrowing habits, making them hard to extract or catch. Frequently, these species cannot burrow back into their substrates as adults, in which case they can only be identified by their siphons and other visible organs without killing them in the process. Here are some different habitats where you can find bivalves and what to do if you find them. For all bivalve shells, it's helpful to get photos of them lying flat with an indication of scale. One easy way to do this is by holding it in your hand and taking a photo from directly above. Get several photos from different angles, especially of the inside of the shell if the animal is dead. To see siphons and other soft parts, bivalves usually need to be underwater.

Sandy Beaches

Species here are burrowers, and some are very quick! Species like bean clams can be found in the sand or waves, especially during a low tide. Many bivalve species leave holes visible on the surface of the sand and can be dug up. This should only be done with the proper permits and where it is allowed; some species are protected and some cannot burrow back into the sand once they are removed. That being said, we'd love to get observations from clammers! When found alive, place bivalves in some water and let them sit still for a minute or two. Bring a bucket to keep them in temporarily. Glass works well, but it's often not advisable (or permitted) to bring glass to most beaches. Pretty soon after submerging them, you'll see their siphons. If you add some sand, they might stick out their foot and begin burrowing.

Tidepools and Reefs

Tidepools and rocky reefs are common along rocky coasts. Coral reefs provide similar habitats in the tropics. Boring clams can be found in hard substrates, and nestlers can be found living in their empty burrows. Some species can be found cemented to a substrate or attached with a byssus. Others can be found nestling in piles of rubble or pockets of sand. Still others can be found attached to the underside of large rocks or coral slabs. Given the rough surf common in these habitats, it is often difficult to get photos of bivalves underwater. Pools are a great place to look. Individuals out of the water that are not attached to a substrate can be placed in a bucket or pool of water. Many species that are attached with a byssus can reform one if they are dislodged, so it is possible to gently remove some species and place them underwater. However, reforming a byssus takes time and dislodging is often fatal because of rough surf, so this is generally not advisable. Burrowing and nestling species cannot survive outside their burrows and they cannot make new ones, so their burrows should be left intact. Fortunately, the careful observer can sometimes find protruding siphons even from individuals that are not submerged. Smaller species can be found by sifting sand and gravel. Many species found in tidepools are also biofoulers and can be found on pier pilings, harbors, and boats.

Beached Bivalves

Sometimes, live or fresh dead bivalves wash ashore. This can happen after storms when any number of substrates wash ashore. These instances provide a great opportunity to learn about more inaccessible species. If the animals are still alive, they will probably not survive even if they are returned to the ocean, unless they are shallow water burrowers. Boring clams can be carefully extracted from their substrate with a chisel and kelp holdfasts can be torn apart looking for a variety of nestlers. Shipworms can be found by splitting open driftwood. Animals should be placed in water for photographing and possibly donated to a museum for preservation (feel free to message me if you're interested in details on how to collect specimens). Fresh dead bivalves are those that are alive but still have remains of the animal attached to the shell. These can be helpful if parts of the animal are still identifiable. It helps to put them in water, and after getting some photos of the animal, you can clean the shell and get some photos of the inside of the shell.

Subtidal Habitats

Lots of species live completely underwater and can only be found by SCUBA diving. Subtidal habitats are similar to those on the shore, with soft and hard substrates. Bivalves here often have their siphons out. Smaller species can be found by sifting sand and gravel. Other bivalves live far beyond the reach of divers and are only accessible by submersibles and ROVs. If you find any deep-water bivalves, we'd love to hear about it!

Freshwater Habitats

Freshwater clams and mussels are widespread around the world. Some are highly invasive; many are at risk of extirpation because of habitat loss and pollution. Most species live in the sediment on the bottom of streams, lakes, and rivers. These can be found by sifting the sediment or by watching closely for siphons. Hunting for many species is highly regulated, even if you are just interested in taking pictures, so make sure you are aware of what is and isn't allowed. Some freshwater mussels, such as the invasive zebra and quagga mussels, attach to a substrate with a byssus and have become notorious biofoulers.

What Isn't a Bivalve

Some animals can look like bivalves, especially their siphons. Note that bivalves always have 2 siphons, so anything that appears to have more or less than that probably isn't a bivalve. Tunicates also have 2 siphons, but they are typically translucent while bivalves have opaque siphons. If the siphons are submerged, look for frills on the tips of one or both of the siphons, which is characteristic of bivalves. Brachiopods are marine animals with 2 shells like bivalves, but they are actually in their own phylum. Anatomically they have a top and a bottom shell, whereas bivalves have a left and a right shell. Some crustaceans also have 2 shells, such as ostracods and water fleas. These can be confused with a small bivalve, especially pea clams in freshwater environments, but they are usually very round and smooth. If you put them in water, you can see them scurry around with their appendages. And don't be fooled by the classic pistachio shell! More than one naturalist (including myself) has picked up a nutshell, only to realize it was left over from somebody's lunch.

Glossary

Biofouler: an organism that lives on or in artificial structures, frequently impeding efficiency of movement and/or undermining structural support.
Boring clam: a type of burrower that lives in a hard substrate, such as rock, concrete, or other shells.
Burrower: a type of bivalve that makes burrows in a soft or hard substrate. If it is a hard substrate, it is called a boring clam and nestlers often live in these burrows after the original burrower dies.
Byssus: a mass of byssal threads that certain bivalves, such as mussels, use to anchor themselves to hard substrates. It is made of protein and is well-studied as a potential for biomimicry. In cooking, this is called a beard.
Foot: a wedge shaped organ that bivalves use to dig in soft substrates or attach themselves to hard substrates with a byssus. Some species can even climb.
Mantle: an organ in mollusks that encloses the internal organs. It deposits the shell and is often seen on the edge of the shell. Siphons are actually just folds of the mantle, but those are kept as distinct observation fields because of their frequent differences in appearance.
Nestler: a type of bivalve that lives in cracks and holes in a substrate, but does not make the hole itself. They often can be found living in empty burrows of boring clams. Shells of these species are often distorted from irregular habitats and other nestlers.
Siphons: paired tubes of the mantle coming out of the posterior end of the shell. One siphon takes in water, and the other squirts it back out. This is how many bivalves generate a current to get oxygen and food.
Substrate: a material that provides a surface on or in which an animal can live. Examples include sand, mud, rock, coral, seaweed, wood, shells, other animals, concrete, and trash.

Hello and welcome to the Deer Flat National Wildlife Refuge iNaturalist Project! From the most common to the more rare, every species plays an important role in the ecosystem. Help us document the organisms that live on the refuge by adding your refuge-based observations to iNaturalist; they will automatically be added to this project.

Join the project to stay up-to-date and discover all the life that makes Deer Flat National Wildlife Refuge a treasure in the Treasure Valley! Not sure how to join? See below.

Thank you for your curiosity about the Deer Flat NWR Project. We look forward to discovering with you the species that call this beautiful place home!

Solo urchin dive. Very calm water—I was able to get right into the cracks to work on urchins. Water started a murky 7’ vis, but as the tide came in and the water got colder, the vis improved greatly. It was 25-30’ on the way in. Would have been an excellent photography day. A ronquil came out and sat on a rock to wait for me to start hammering urchins!
On the swim in I was hooked by a fishing line in my fin again! It was impossible to get the hook out, I had to just cut the line and swim in dragging a couple of feet. Then when I surfaced, my BC at first was leaking. I had to swim over to the rocks to fix it so that I could climb up if I needed to.

Acabo de estrenar una trampa Malaise para registrar la diversidad de insectos en casa ante la imposibilidad de salir a otros lugares por la restrcción de la pandemia. Los insectos no son mi especialidad, pero nunca dejo de verlos como un grupo muy importante en interacción con las plantas. Pueden ver una muestra de lo que estas trampas han registrado en unos pocos días. Me sorprende la eficacia de estas trampas para las moscas y avispas, aunque aparecen también arácnidos, escarabajos y afines. Para la mayoría de mis capturas, escojo algunos ejemplares y los pongo por unos minutos en el refrigerador para aletargarlos mientras realizo algunas fotografías. Algunas avispas y escarabajos, no me esperan y salen volando.
De pronto y el problema no es tener acceso a las trampas y capturar organismos, sino tener el tiempo para separarlos y sobre todo identificarlos. Es un mundo muy extenso para mi.

Hello CVC Butterfly Blitz participants!

Although this project has been up and running for a while now, the official start date of the summer-long blitz is tomorrow - May 30th. We are presenting our last training webinar tomorrow; in combination with last weekend's training, you should all now be prepared to get outside and observe butterflies!

I will be resetting the start date of the iNaturalist project to begin on May 30th instead of April 1st, as it is currently set. Don't panic if you see a change in the leaderboard and the species counts. The date change is to be fair to those who are waiting until their training is complete before starting to look for butterflies, as well as those who have been waiting for the start date in our promotional materials.

I also would like to call your attention to two other CVC Butterfly Blitz 2020 projects on iNaturalist:
https://inaturalist.ca/projects/cvc-butterfly-blitz-2020-sensitive-species
https://inaturalist.ca/projects/cvc-butterfly-blitz-2020-all-species

Creating these projects is a necessary (but confusing) step to ensure that we collect information on all butterflies observed in the watershed over the summer - even those sensitive species for which the observation coordinates are obscured. Details on why this is needed can be found here: https://www.inaturalist.org/pages/help#placeindex

In the meantime, all you need to know is that the species you have observed is not a sensitive species you don't need to add it to any CVC Butterfly Blitz 2020 collection project - it will be automatically detected and added*.

Please contact me if you have any questions or concerns.

Thanks,
Laura
