Citizen Science Wins
Typocerus gloriosus
Last seen 1976!
Only 5 specimens have ever been documented. This is the only with
photographic evidence.
Myxostoma petiverianum
Last seen 1905!
Creating Open Useable Data
1. Share your location
2. Approach every observation as a new
discussion as to the identity of the organism
3. Clear and descriptive photographs
Photographing Plants for IDs
Full Body shot
Leaf shot
Often times it
helps to isolate
the leaf against
a background
like a hand or
sheet of paper
Habitat shot
Often times this might
be the same as your
full body shot.
Fruits and Flowers
Depending on the
flower type you may
want to take multiple
images to capture
unique aspects. A
good rule of them is
one shot from the top
and one from the
bottom
Cellphone photography tricks
1) Lighting - shooting in the shadows often times
will give you better texture.
2) AF/AE Lock & Exposure - hold down finger on
place you want to focus. Slide sun up and down to
adjust exposure
.
Cellphone photography tricks

“what did you see?”
3) Select from
Taxa
4) Click “Save:
Recording observations with your phone
Automatic ID Suggestions!
Recording observations with your phone
Upload when back to Wifi
Data Mining (lite)
Most of the useful tools are accessible through the browser and you can
export tab delimited files etc if you are getting really into data mining and
looking at big data sets. For this talk we are going to look at the low volume
data mining options that casual observers might be interested in
In the app “Explore”
In the Browser - search via Places
In the Browser - search via Observations
Species page
Protected Organisms - geo data obscured
Data flows into other databases
Databases that commonly use iNat data: GBIF, EOL, CalFlora
Identifying - helping make sense of all the data
Identifying
Shortcuts i = identify c= comment
Still a lot to be...
