Hello everyone. Recently I came across a journal post and also a profile page where the users put together a list of usefull identification guides for certain groups of animals. I think this is a great way of providing usefull information to other users and also to keep an organized list of resourc…

There’s a current thread to compile field guide recommendations that’s still open ( https://forum.inaturalist.org/t/current-or-general-favorite-field-guides/656/51 ), but you might have a different focus in mind for this thread

That is kind of what I’m looking for (the only difference is that I’m mostly looking for online resources that are available to everyone. I failed to mention it on the original post, my bad). Thanks!!

For lichens: European: http://www.lichensmaritimes.org/index.php?lang=en http://www.lichens.lastdragon.org/ https://www.irishlichens.ie/AZ-lichen.html North American https://lichenportal.org/cnalh/ Various Wales/Europe: https://www.first-nature.com/index.php Finland, Northern Europe http:…

Thank you very much! I’ve recently started paying more attention to lichens, so this will be very handy!

Excellent free online resource for the marine mollusks of the Eastern Gulf of Mexico (SW Florida): https://www.shellmuseum.org/shell-guide

The topic is closed but the Wiki can still be edited.

I have a lot of mollusk resources on my profile page. I have very little experience in Europe, though, so this might be the only one you’re interested in. http://www.idscaro.net/sci/04_med/index.htm

That is a great resource! I wish there was something similar for european mollusks. Thank you very much!
