This is a fifth wiki providing a user-curated list of scientific publications that use iNaturalist data, covering the years 2026 and 2027. For previous wikis see:
Publications in 2010–2019
Publications in 2020–2021
Publications in 2022–2023
Publications in 2024-2025
Please add relevant publications, including, where possible (1) a link to the paper itself, (2) a link to the observation filter that encompasses as closely as possible what was used by the paper, and (3) contact details for the author(s) in cases where the paper is not open access. There is no need to additionally comment that you have added a paper.
Articles are organised in alphabetical order by first author. These multiple wikis have been created, rather than just one, because of word limits for a single post.
These wikis are intended to complement the list of 3000+ journal articles that cite GBIF data including iNaturalist exports (summary of citations of all kinds here) so papers already on that list need not be included here.
