Just added the first entry for 2021:
van der Heyden, T. (2021) First records of Leptoglossus occidentalis Heidemann, 1910 (Hemiptera: Heteroptera: Coreidae) in Estonia and Belarus. Heteroptera Poloniae – Acta Faunistica 15: 5–6.

When communicating iNaturalist to the media, it would be nice to point out cases where iNat-observations led to the description of a new species. One can finde these instances going through the paper list, blog posts or specific forum threads, but I don’t think there is already a dedicated forum topic, is there?
@carrieseltzer Is the spreadsheet you provided still being updated?
Added:
van der Heyden, T. (2021) Erstfund von Zelus renardii KOLENATI, 1856 in Deutschland (Heteroptera: Reduviidae). Heteropteron 61: 31–32.

We seem to have reached the character limit, so here’s my addition
Reyes, F. O., Landestoy T., M. A., & Jiménez, L., (2020). Geographic distribution: Gymnophthalmus underwoodi (b) Herpetol. Rev., 51 (3), 539-540. [Observation]
And perhaps re-descriptions…
Vink, C. & Curtis, K. M. (2020). A redescription of Philoponella congregabilis , an Australian hackled orb weaver spider (Uloboridae) now found in Christchurch, New Zealand. Records of the Canterbury Museum 34 : 85-94
https://wsc.nmbe.ch/reference/15514
The paper shows a map with iNaturalist observations, along with additional pins showing physical vouchered specimens examined for the paper. I have to say I appreciate the mapped version of the occurrence records, vs the text list forms usually found in the literature!

Interesting combination of iNat data, NABA data and Art Shapiro records to study the decline of butterflies in the U.S. west:
M. L. Forister, C. A. Halsch, C. C. Nice, J. A. Fordyce, T. E. Dilts, J. C. Oliver, K. L. Prudic, A. M. Shapiro, J. K. Wilson, J. Glassberg Fewer butterflies seen by community scientists across the warming and drying landscapes of the American West
SCIENCE 05 MAR 2021 : 1042-1045
given the character limit, should we start a new thread for post-2020 articles?

Good idea @dkaposi. I have started a new wiki here: https://forum.inaturalist.org/t/published-papers-that-use-inaturalist-data-wiki-2-2020-onwards/20913 and added the most recent publications that wouldn’t fit here.
Can a moderator please edit the title of this post to read “Published papers that use iNaturalist data - wiki 1 (up to 2019)”? I no longer seem to have the ability to change it.
@deboas: the wiki is a great idea, thanks for starting it! I would like to add two publications of mine (from 2017 and 2019), but (although newly registered in the formum) I don’t seem to have the permission to edit the wiki (I don’t see the edit button).
Any hints on how to do it?
Hi @redhat I’m not sure what you need to do to get permission to edit. Have you scrolled to the bottom of the wiki post? There should be a link saying “Edit” there, at bottom right. If you don’t see that, feel free to reply with the publication details and I will add them
Hi @deboas, thank you very much for your answer. I think that maybe I am too “fresh” in the forum for edit rights… So I take your offer and give the details of the publications here (both open access):
Jacobs C. and A. Zipf (2017): Completeness of Citizen Science Biodiversity Data from a Volunteered Geographic Information Perspective. Geo-Spatial information Science 20(1): 3-13. DOI: 10.1080/10095020.2017.1288424.
Jacobs, C. (2019): Data Quality of Citizen Science Observations of Organisms: Plausibility Estimation Based on Volunteered Geographic Information Context. Dissertation, Heidelberg University. DOI: https://doi.org/10.11588/heidok.00026492
Both publications used iNat observations from the USA.
Thank you very much for your help in listing them in your Wiki!
No worries, I’ve added both. I don’t think it will take too long for you to be granted more rights on the forum, so you can add further publications.
Wow that’s a really important paper. Thanks for posting! I’ve been interested to see if anyone could figure out to use the iNat data to quantify population trends. It’s a challenge due to very uneven observation effort. This is the best (maybe the first) analysis in this regard that I’ve seen using iNat.
I posted about this in Nature Talk:
