Filter by annotations?

… how?
The iconic mediterranean bivalvePinna nobilis got hit by a plague a few years ago, almost leading to its extinction. Now, in a few places it is coming back respcetively it survived, as we see from iNat obs. So I wanted to check the overall situation: went through the recent observations, entered the missing annotations for “alive or dead”, and then I wanted to filter for living specimens after the plague to get an overview on the map.
Is there really no possibility for filtering observations by annotations?
Or am I just too stupid to see it?

You can also go to the More Filters section of Identify and filter them there, then remove /identify from the URL for it to display on the Explore page.

Annotations

term_id= - the annotation group, for example "Life Stage" = 1

term_value_id= - the value within the group, for example "Adult" = 2 for the Life Stage annotation

A full list of annotations, their definitions, and to which taxa they apply can be found on this page.

  • Life Stage = 1
    • Adult = 2
    • Teneral = 3
    • Juvenile = 8
    • Subimago = 16
    • Nymph = 5
    • Pupa = 4
    • Larva = 6
    • Egg = 7
  • Sex = 9
    • Female = 10
    • Male = 11
    • Cannot Be Determined = 20
  • Flowers and Fruits = 12
    • Flower Buds = 15
    • Flowers = 13
    • Fruits or Seeds = 14
    • No Flowers or Fruits = 21
  • Leaves = 36
    • Breaking Leaf Buds = 37
    • Green Leaves = 38
    • Colored Leaves = 39
    • No Live Leaves = 40
  • Alive or Dead = 17
    • Alive = 18
    • Dead = 19
    • Cannot Be Determined = 20
  • Evidence of Presence = 22
    • Bone = 27
    • Construction = 35
    • Feather = 23
    • Egg = 30
    • Gall = 29
    • Hair = 31
    • Leafmine = 32
    • Molt = 28
    • Organism = 24
    • Scat = 25
    • Track = 26
  • Established = 33 (as of 2024, this is still a pilot effort in reptiles/amphibians and the answer "established" is not included, only "not established")
    • Not Established = 34

Both the group parameter and value parameter should be included in the URL. And term_value_id can accept a comma-separated list of more than one value.

Here are all verifiable Lepidoptera observations with a Life Stage of Larva: https://www.inaturalist.org/observations?place_id=any&taxon_id=47157&term_id=1&term_value_id=6

And here are all verifiable Lepidoptera observations with a LIfe Stage of Larva or Adult: https://www.inaturalist.org/observations?page=2&place_id=any&taxon_id=47157&term_id=1&term_value_id=2,6

To exclude observations with particular annotations, use the following similar to the above:

  • without_term_id= the annotation group
  • without_term_value_id= the value within the group
