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

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. 🧪🌎
