Do you use #iNaturalist data in research—or advise students who do? We put together a practical guide to using iNaturalist data in scientific research, covering how to access, acquire, analyze, and attribute the data, with examples in R and Python. Paper: doi.org/10.1093/bios... #ecology

We churned through over 100 million radar samples to quantify the structure of migration through the airspaces across the United States: Just out in Ecology esajournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10....

Please repost! I am looking for a passionate and hard-working PhD student to work in southern Africa on experimental defaunation and rewilding of megafauna. See the link below for more information: @camzoology.bsky.social @conservation.cam.ac.uk

Great presentation by @coreytcallaghan.bsky.social on our work evaluating the use of @inaturalist.bsky.social data on the literature. Read it here doi.org/10.1093/bios... #LivingData2025

This new paper documents a tenfold increase in research papers using community-collected iNaturalist data over just five years: tr.ee/89Ot3I According to the study, here are four key ways that iNaturalist data directly powers science 🧵⤵️

Our new paper in BioScience shows how iNaturalist data is powering research across the globe, with use growing 10x in 5 years and spanning 128 countries & 638 families of life. Paper: doi.org/10.1093/bios... @ifas.ufl.edu @inaturalist.bsky.social #Biodiversity #iNaturalist #OpenScience

Brett Scheffers and I are seeking a postdoctoral research scholar to join the 2025-2027 Future of Species Range Shifts cohort as part of the Climate Adaptation Postdoctoral (CAP) Fellows Program. The postdoc would be hosted here at UF. More here: jobs.rwfm.tamu.edu/view-job/?id...

doi.org/10.1007/s112... @coreytcallaghan.bsky.social, and his collaborators synthesized studies on the impact of urban green space on insect diversity. Results are instructive for urban planning. E.g. green roofs should not replace green park space because they do not support as high diversity. 🧪🌎

Evidence-base for urban green-blue infrastructure to support insect diversity - Urban Ecosystems

Green-blue urban infrastructures potentially offer win-win benefits for people and nature in urban areas. Given increasing evidence of widespread declines of insects, as well as their ecological impor...
