Finished loading the photos of plants and animals, etc. to #iNaturalist from my last long expedition.
Stats: 18,000 km
8,246 plant and animal photos
2,356 separate observations
887 species (651 plants, 139 birds, 62 insects, 11 mammals, + others)
Quite a few people commented on or liked tweets about the idea of #formulaicNames and #INaturalist presented at #TDWG2022 Thank you, and I will contact you all to see if you wish to be involved in furthering the discussion
Anyone know what this tree is. Found near the top of the Cape York Peninsula, Queensland. I suspected Sapindaceae but can't find anything it fits. Tree - broad leaves, fruit with wings (like a Dodonaea), 5 carpels.
I am sure we can all relate #ebird #iNaturalist #birdwatchers - in Kutini-Payamu (Iron Range) National Park, Queensland
In two weeks I will be giving a talk at #TDWG2022 in Sofia on formulaic or phrase names for known undescribed species and the need for such names in #iNaturlist. We have also established an iNaturalist project for undescribed new species phrase names.
Another new bird for me - the beautiful Olive-Backed Sunbird - at the Wujal Wujal Falls near Bloomfield , Queensland. Added to #iNaturalist
A new bird for me - Macleay's Honeyeater (Xanthotis macleayanus) at the #KingfisherBirdWatchers Lodge, #Julatten, Queensdland

More examples of Australia's Tree of the Year, the River Redgum - this one the arid subspecies Eucalyptus camaldulensis subsp. arida in the Ongeva Creek along the Plenty Highway east of Alice Springs, Northern Territory. Added to #iNaturalist

Proud to have been involved with Biota-FAPESP in Brazil for many years and to publish an editorial paper on the program in a special issue of Biota Neotropica this week.
