We are now finished uploading photos for this project this year. I am so grateful for all the identifiers and other people who helped along the way. It was a great experience, and I’m ready to do it all over again. There is more to do still on this project. For instance, we will be uploading photos to BugGuide from this survey to try to identify more species. Especially, the nocturnal studies need more work. Also, I’m hoping, in future, we may do a study on plants at the Old Plank R...

La Fundación Ambiente y Recursos Naturales (FARN) publicó un reporte sobre el estado de situación de la reserva ubicada en la Cuenca Matanza Riachuelo. La cesión de tierras para emprendimientos deportivos, la construcción de un terraplén y la falta de un Plan de Manejo generan nuevas alertas sobre la gestión de este espacio natural dentro del partido de Esteban Echeverría.

So far, this is just a very rough post for scrawling some notes while chatting about Malva with @truthseqr .
On Malva multiflora (vs nicaensis):

• M. mutiflora is a newly resurrected epithet. Most of the literature has it as M. pseudolavatera, or M. cretica, or Lavatera cretica.
• Butler and Reinders (2021) has great photos (thanks for the link

FLOW is the primary database for Planthopper taxonomy and references but maintaining the accuracy of such a large database undoubtedly presents many challenges. While FLOW is a wonderful reference, in order to prevent confusion and the further propagation of inaccurate taxonomy I present here a list of taxonomic differences present in the literature but not yet reflected on FLOW with regard to the African species of Fulgoridae. Hopefully these changes will be reflected in future updates,...

Cirsium arvense is commonly referred to as the Canada thistle. It is considered an invasive weed species as it causes significant crop loss and out-grows native plants along disturbed areas, such as roadsides, riverbanks and logged forests. It can reproduce by seeds or by its extensive root system, which can spread horizontally and produce new shoots. It contains thick, deep growing roots that make this weed very hard to control. The root starts as a single tap root that grows d...

Extrait d’un courriel reçu de M. Famelart, cet été :
« Voilà ce qu’était l’actuel stationnement du Jardin botanique de Montréal, vers les années 1945-1950.

On voit la rue Sherbrooke et les jeunes ormes d’Amérique qui, devenus magnifiques, furent coupés sous les ordres du maire Drapeau, juste avant les Jeux olympiques de Montréal. »

Conglomerates are a type of sedimentary rock made up from peices of other rocks. With the obligatory reference to this Beavis and Butthead clip, I can't emphasize enough the satisfaction I get seeing a rock made out of rocks. Sometimes, the rock is made out of rocks that themselves are made out of rocks. I don't know what the record is, but locally both the ...

This project was very fun and I noticed certain fungi growing late in the cold. I am very confidant that my skills are getting better and my navigation on Inatauralist is also being tuned. Next year will be fun for me to explore my new found passion of the ancient mushroom people.

I documented 159 dead newts, at least 76 of them were juveniles. Many of the newts were pretty fresh, including a few that looked alive... 111 newts (62 juveniles) were found on the reservoir side, and 48 newts (14 juveniles) were found on the h...

The diet and foraging ecology of the sable antelope (Hippotragus niger) - a ruminant combining glamour and vulnerability to extermination - have been studied intensively over the last half-century.

However, as far as I know, no author has yet provided a satisfactory overall interpretation - which I attempt in this Post.

Pelegrina galathea, peppered jumping spiders, are often found from June through September on forbs and low shrubs at Barnes tallgrass prairie remnants in Racine County, WI. They share these remnants with Phidippus clarus, brilliant jumpers, which are often abundant from June through August. Phidippus princeps, grayish jumpers, are commonly seen from August through early October. Also present from July through September are Thomasidae, crab spiders and Dictyna sp. a small mesh weaver.
