Fim da Fase 2 e do Desafio Mundial da Natureza Urbana 2024
Hoje às 9:00h de hoje, 6 de maio de 2024, fechou a Fase 2 do Desafio Mundial da Natureza 2024 e com ela oficialmente o DNU 2024 (#CityNatureChallenge2024).
Brasil bateu todos os recordes históricos obtidos no evento e em outras maratonas naturalistas nas que tem participado. Ainda estamos além do esperado para um país baleia (grande territorialmente e em população) e com a maior diversidade do mundo, no entanto, estamos indo pelo caminho certo.
Parabéns a São Paulo! Graç...

Final Tally and Participant Survey
Hello,
This will likely be the last post I put in the project journal. I wanted to give a final wrap-up on our project statistics, give you all some links to see how the larger City Nature Challenge went, and also provide a link for a survey to help us gather a little information on the project and improve it for future years.
Our project statistics:
- 6,691 observations

Journal Test
This is a test to see how journals work on here! I think this could be a good way to update participants and encourage people, plus maybe link to the socials posts. We can also give updates like 1 week remaining etc.
Fatsia japonica - growing outdoors
A fantastic and impressive example of Fatsia japonica (Araliaceae) (Japan and South Korea) observed growing outdoors (in the U.K.). Commonly known as the castor oil plant or fig leaf palm, it grows up to 4m in a decade. An evergreen shrub with 7-8 dicotyledonous splayed, leathery, palmately lobed leaves, and small white flowers in terminal compound umbels, it produces a beautiful cluster of ornamental, non-edible black berries. It grows well in moist and well-drained soils in partial sha...

Апрельский биоблиц
Друзья, закончился четвёртый месяц проекта, сейчас к нему присоединилось 264 (+31) наблюдателя, 258 (+27) из которых уже поделились своими наблюдениями.
На большей части страны шёл активный прилёт птиц, поэтому результаты апреля весьма впечатляющие: в проекте уже загружены наблюдения для 393 (+162) видов, общее количество наблюдений приближается к 95.000 (+33.000).
По итогам марта я прогнозировал, что к концу апреля появится пять наблюдателей, участвующих в проекте, котор...
128 тысяч наблюдений
Фиксируем статистику:

Mecistes tarsalis Chapuis, 1874
Diagnosis from Zoia 2009: Legs black/metallic blue (not with reddish tibiae), sometimes with bronze or geenish reflections. Antennae black with articles 2 to 6 partially reddish. Elytra: punctures irregular, not or poorly arranged in longitudinal rows, in places separated by smooth logitudinal costae; each elytron with a longitudinal costa, starting from the humerus and almost reaching the elytral apex; elytral setae sparse, yellowish or whitish in colour, curved.

Рекомендации к фотографированию споровых растений
Если у растения есть структуры, связанные с размножением - лучше постараться сфотографировать их тоже (можно добавить несколько фото к наблюдению, если на одном не помещаются). Например, у папоротников сорусы со спорангиями чаще всего расположены с нижней стороны листа - стоит сфотографировать и её тоже. У мхов можно постараться заснять коробочку, если она есть.
Spiders
Spiders, but also unknown flying objects, have never been my friends - ok at a distance (social distancing), but not so cool too close.
Since I started using iNaturalist, I've been outside a lot more often and exploring nature (I think you can also see that in the number of observations 😜). But for the last few weeks I've been particularly fond of spiders and I can't get enough of them, especially the jumping spiders are so cute with their lovely faces.
I think exploring nature h...
