Passively crowdsourcing images online for measuring broad-scale fly (Diptera) floral interactions and biodiversity

@cthawley

is there an easy way to see how many observations have values for each observation field?

@jwidness

A quick note that sort by name was already implemented, and that you can sort by count using https://www.inaturalist.org/observation_fields?order=desc&order_by=values_count

(there are sometimes discrepancies between the values_count and the number of observations with that field, I assume because fields can be on an observation, but have no value)

@cthawley

I bet they could have gotten more images from iNat in a standardized, more efficient way by spending a small amount of time learning to use iNat.

yeah e.g. here are 16k observations already tagged with interactions they missed out on reviewing: https://www.inaturalist.org/observations?place_id=any&taxon_id=47822&field:interaction->visited%20flower%20of=
