First paper on Okanagana using iNaturalist data

At the end of September a paper I wrote over the last year will be published.

Chatfield-Taylor, W. 2020. Predator avoidance leads to separate emergence cycles in the protoperiodical Okanagana magnifica Davis, 1919 (Hemiptera: Cicadidae). Pan-Pacific Entomologist 96(3) (In Press).

This work made huge use of the GBIF data that is taken from iNaturalist to map the emergences of Okanagana magnifica around which the paper's analysis was based, something that would have been made far more difficult without the data found here - there are nearly 100 observations of this species now!

Once it is released I'll make another post going into more detail about the paper and its premise, as well as how iNaturalist played its part.
