I’m looking for a site which will accept the exported CSV of my research-grade observations (+/- restructuring of the CSV as necessary), and produce a nice tree of my observations (ie, with branches at each taxonomic level, with the species at the end).
I would also be happy with a onion-style pie chart (with each taxonomic level representing a different layer of the pie chart)
Thank you in advance,
Jan
I’ve just discovered that it may be possible to do this within the latest version of Excel, There is a function called “Insert hierarchy chart”. Investigating further…
However, this is a little buggy and may not always work the way you expect. As far as I know, something like this may be in the works for the general ‘explore’ view. In the meantime you could add your voice to this feature request: https://forum.inaturalist.org/t/implement-taxonomic-view-for-observations-search-page/244
Thank you @schoenitz, I didn’t fully appreciate this tree existed on iNaturalist.
I would like to be able to store the data as a PDF file and manipulate/tweak it graphically. I’m sure that is in the pipeline. Thanks again.
Meanwhile, I found this, which gives a pretty good tutorial of how to do it in excel:
there’s something like this on the “your Year on iNat” page (https://www.inaturalist.org/stats/2019/yourusername), although that only shows species from one year.
Oh wow, that is such a cool page. I had no idea…
Is it possible to use the page for stats just relating to a specific project?
Ok, without any doubt, the easiest and best way to do this is by just copying and pasting your excel spreadsheet into this site:
It’s exactly what I was looking for. I highly recommend you have a play with it.
not as far as I know :(
