Interactions (linked)

iNat does not do interactions.

This project is to try and catch interactions in the meantime until a module is developed

There are already some odd systems on iNat to try and do this. But I have not yet found one that meets our needs.

The problem with interactions is that often one does not know either of the observations. And one wants to link an observation with an observation so that it can be checked, and not a species.

So we dont want to put everything on twice (although of course it will be easy to wean out issues in future), so please think about your interactions.

What we will do is post the ACTIVE observation as the Observation and the PASSIVE observation as the link. Symmetrical interactions choose any one - but why not choose the bigger organism as "active"?

So if your observation does not match the choices for interaction, then you should rather link from the other observation.

Your choices are:

• Visiting a flower of
• Eating
• Parasitizing
• Carrying
• Attached to
• Associated with

Although this project was designed on iSpot for southern Africa, it is open to anyone. Please feel free to contribute.
