The term native does have meaning. It means that the plant has been part of an intricate and complex web of animals, plants, pathogens, fungi, bacteria and microorganisms for a very long time – one in which the rules of coexistence have been thoroughly worked out. Such communities are stable, orderly and diverse.

Introduce a novel organism, and you may be asking for problems. The natural controls in its native ecosystem do not exist in this new place. The critters that depend on ...

Well, well!

South Florida is just about to close the gap with us. https://www.citynaturechallenge.org/live

They don't look like they plan on stopping any time soon. We'll know their final counts by 6 AM our time, and we'll then have three more hours to dig out a few more observations.

Hopefully, it won't come down such a last minute nail biter. There are lots of hidden gems in the weeds...

With only a few hours left, our friends in Montreal have squeaked in a small lead of 26 observations. We still hold a commanding lead of about 200 in terms of species, but we need that final push on the observation front.
Please add any you have not submitted and canvas existing ones for opportunities to create new versions where more than one taxa is visible.
The Montreal team is not stopping and neither should we. Think 100 more observations or even more.

Thanks to ever...

The following charts show the number of observations for species within the genus Trifolium in California and the number of times the species has been misidentified in iNaturalist. The purpose of this analysis is to pinpoint species with high misidentification rates (to focus on correcting) and to provide a method of measuring improvements over time.

I split the species into two charts for clarity. The first chart lists the species with >1,000 observations (green). The ...

We have just a few hours left to upload our observations (we have until tomorrow 9 am - but better to get them in sooner in case iNat is slow), so if you have anything left to add, now is your chance. Take a look at our Needs List and see if there's anything you might have seen or heard that we still need. Thanks again for participating everyone!

Please let me know the iNat user names of any school groups. I know Woodhaven is one. And if you are associated with and would like to work on involving more schools next year., please let me know. I know it needs a lot more up front preparation.

Thanks everyone for participating in our spring BioBlitz event at Almaden Quicksilver! This was one of our largest events, with 1,708 observations, of a record of 361 species! This is an incredible number of species, contributing to the efforts of the Bay Area in winning the City Nature Challenge - a global iNaturalist competition, between hundreds of cities worldwide. You can still help us win - if you haven't finished uploading your observations, you can still do it until 5/5 midnight....

We're in the final day of this year's City Nature Challenge!

Technically, we have until 9 AM tomorrow, Monday (May 6) to upload observations to iNaturalist from April 26-29 for them to count for this year's CNC.

We still have a bit of work to do though! South Florida is keeping us on our toes as they are just 100 observations behind us currently. Yikes!

Thanks to everyone who is helping with identification. Today is out last day and next week I will check the results but it is easy to see we have more species and diversity than previous years - it looks great.

F. verna (Lesser Celandine) is commonly seen as a weed. It is a member of the Ranunculaceae family, who's plants often contain poisons. F. verna is no exception.

F. verna is a simple plant to identify with many features being easily recognisable over similar plants. The plant often prefers damp environments, sometimes carpeting woodland forest floors. The plant can also be observed on the banks of streams, gardens and roadsides and often prefers a bit of shade.

The first ...

It's been three weeks since the last review of the observed Uta, so I thought it a good time to consider the status of spring. During the past three weeks there were over 1300 observations of Uta, all of which were Uta stansburiana. These observations spanned the range of this species, but with ...

Things are moving very slowly. Thanks to everyone who has helped clear the unknowns, which currently stand at 7,854 out of 130,730 observations, so 6%.

But now we need to change tack. We need to abandon the unknowns and focus on getting our identified observation up to Research Grade. So grab hold of the field guides and check up on what the specialists have been doing, and let us see how close we can move our Research Grade observations to our original targ...
