Surprisingly, a springtail expert on iNaturalist has suggested a species ID for this springtail. I wasn't expecting it to be able to be identified to that detail, but it certainly matches the description. It looks like it's *Bourletiella arvalis*.

That makes the springtail a lot more […]

In just 2 months, Comfy Chaos Collective has a Google Brand Panel! My wildlife conservation data on GBIF & NatureServe triggered the highest level of search authority. Some wait years; we did it in 60 days. I'm so proud of us! #WildlifeConservation #GBIF

2/5 Key features of #AquaX:

A photo of an elegant pale brown fluffy moth with marks of darker brown.

Introducing *Austramathes coelacantha*!

I uploaded this moth to iNaturalist from my moth lighting last month in the NZ mountains. It's now the first iNat record of this NZ endemic moth, which was first described as a species in 2017.

This adds to the five […]

Slide showing work flow from book to scan, to OCR, to species list through GNfinder and then into GBIF database via R

Great presentation (showing my bias) by Britt Andermann on using AI tools to mobilise digitalisation of Natural History Archives, making books into #FAIRdata in #GBIF. Valuable historical information!
More work needed to allow the same for handwritten notes.
