Using iNaturalist observations to update the distribution of the Anchor Coralsnake, Micrurus ancoralis.
In the recent years, citizen science has been useful in expanding the knowledge of reptiles and other taxa. Specifically, in Colombia, it has been employed to enhance knowledge about the distribution of snakes knowledge about snakes
With my colleague Juan Manuel Renjifo, we confirmed the occurrence of the Anchor Coralsnake, Micrurus ancoralis ( Jan, 1872), in the tropical forests of the eastern slopes of the Central Cordillera of Colombia in the Magdalena River Valley. In this wo...

E.cypellocarpa - E.goniocalyx intergrades
@montgomeryhall provided this fascinating old paper which investigates the E.cypellocarpa - E.goniocalyx intergradation in depth. He says to be careful to note that the old names are used (E. cypellocarpa was called E. goniocalyx; E. goniocalyx called E. elaeophora).
Hakes decurrens or Hakea sericea
Hakea decurrens and Hakea sericea are look-a-likes that are often misidentified. Arthur Chapman @arthur_chapman has provided a very useful guide to their identification: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1367CE1j6kS6J4Obqsr5fDdgz2yW9-xgA/view?usp=drivesdk
Wester Sword Fern Dieback tracking project
This project from south of the border is tracking what appears to be dieback issues happening with sword fern.
"What could be more iconic of the PNW than a lush fern understory? Unfortunately, previously healthy stands of western sword fern (Polystichum munitum) have been declining throughout the Puget Sound Region (western U.S.) in the course of the past decade.

Good afternoon!
Everything that possibly could have happened last year did happen. I can't remember if I succeeded in the quest I outlined in my last (first) post, but regardless, I've returned! I don't know what I want out of this journal, but now that I remember it exists, expect more from me.
well done
hi all,
as a new college year begins. just a quick thank you for the effort that y'all have put in for WAM last year.
well done to everyone and i hope that you are still enjoying nature, the natural world and animal life.

Halfway there
Good morning, Citizen Scientists!
You've done a great job so far as we edge towards 100 observations. Can we double that by the end of the month?
I am happy to report that more than half of the collection so far have been research grade. This will be most helpful for higher level data analysis.
Keep up the good work!!

September Spring Clean-Up
September in Africa heralds the start of Spring. The Rockdale Park Conservancy Rehabilitation team know that this is the time to get stuck in to alien invasive eradication before the wet summer months to prevent us from losing all of the hard work accomplished so far.
With that in mind we were able to call on our local Westville Boys High School who sent an incredible 80 boys keen to assist as part of their community service programme. They eagerly tackled a range of jobs, from stac...
Obscure Amazonian Lizard Observation of the Week: 15 September, 2024
[in English: Google translations below]
This week I am attempting to embed featured observations as images in this post so as to reduce the amount of clicking to each observation that you, the reader, must do. The link for the species name will take you to the observation itself, but otherwise, I've added images for each relevant observation. This will, by necessity, make this post longer, but I think this is an improvement. Feel free to comment below your thoughts.

Whatever your interest is or wherever you are on the islands, just use your phone or camera to take photos and upload them to the free iNaturalist app under this local project for the Gr...
