The Field Museum's Field Guides to lotsa stuff

Looking for a new rabbit hole to fall into? Have I got a deal for you!

I was looking for a guide to the plants of the Monarch preserves in Mexico and stumbled across this one: https://fieldguides.fieldmuseum.org/guides/guide/289

That's just one of many field guides from the FIeld Museum in Chicago, covering mostly tropical areas but some non-tropical areas too. Start here: https://fieldguides.fieldmuseum.org/guides

Want to identify lianas (vines) in Brazil but you don't have any leaves? No problem. Do it by bark and stem cross section: https://fieldguides.fieldmuseum.org/sites/default/files/rapid-color-guides-pdfs/1425_brazil_lianas_of_biociencias_forest_reserve.pdf

It's not just plants. Interested in the pollinators of avocados and plants associated with them? Look here: https://fieldguides.fieldmuseum.org/sites/default/files/rapid-color-guides-pdfs/612%20Insectos%20de%20Aguacate.pdf

Any who doesn't want to know more about conservation golf? Check it out: https://fieldguides.fieldmuseum.org/sites/default/files/rapid-color-guides-pdfs/1365_usa_sandvalleygolfresort_wisconsin.pdf

They encourage you to produce your own field guides of underrepresented areas or hard-to-find or interestingly curated info. If you have an itch to make and publish a field guide, they can help.
