Can I expand on this a little to start a list of species where iNaturalist has been mentioned in a publication (like rediscoveries or major range extensions) but there’s no wikipedia article?
I’ve got a couple for starters:
Bombus irisanensis in Wilson, J. S., Pan, A. D., General, D. E. M., & Koch, J. B. (2020). More eyes on the prize: an observation of a very rare, threatened species of Philippine Bumble bee, Bombus irisanensis, on iNaturalist and the importance of citizen science in conservation biology. Journal of Insect Conservation, 1-3.
Sinothereva shangui in Winterton, S. L. (2020). A new bee-mimicking stiletto fly (Therevidae) from China discovered on iNaturalist. Zootaxa, 4816(3), 361-369.
