Just checked the GBIF-database and found that there are right now (9 Feb 2021) 1,001 citations for iNat-generated data. That is amazing! Here’s to the next 1K! [grafik] https://www.gbif.org/dataset/50c9509d-22c7-4a22-a47d-8c48425ef4a7

Fantastic. Just as a curious aside, the description says: Temporal scope September 13, 1477 - January 8, 2021 :thinking: Painting? Drawing? Pinned Insect? Pressed Flowers? Taxidermy?

No listings for 1400s visible it seems? https://www.inaturalist.org/observations?d1=1400-01-01&d2=1500-01-01&place_id=any&subview=table&taxon_id=48460 Error? or…disconnected to iNat data I guess at least

Nice to check out some of iNaturalists oldest observations though : https://www.inaturalist.org/observations/513000

Thanks for the link, @sbushes - wonder how many extinct species already have been entered in iNaturalist (this might be one as well: https://www.inaturalist.org/observations/69033681 ). Anybody knows if there is an overview in GBIF showing the top contributing dataset in terms of citations?

Please take a look at this this forum thread.

:man_facepalming: Hmmm… someone should give GBIF a heads up
