I don’t check larger leaderboards too often so I decided I might as well check now! For bivalves (the main group I identify in) I place in 8th place for identifications. That’s honestly a lot higher than I expected. Same thing for Class Mollusca, where I place in 46th. When I first joined iNat, the numbers on the leaderboard looked very high. Now I realize that all you need is a little dedication, and I’m very glad there are so many other identifiers who are putting time and effort into this website.
Anyway, some bonus leaderboards I found:
Anadara chemnitzii:
One of the first taxa I checked, because I know I and a few other users (Thanks @amr_mn!) spent the past few months identifiers trying to correct many wrong ID’s. In fact, many of us have more ID’s than there are observations of the species:
Callinina georgiana:
A freshwater gastropod species I felt had too few identifications for the amount of observations it had (around 1300 observations). Since then, I’ve been tracking observations of the species.
Unionida:
One of the first groups I learned how to identify. The first bivalve group, for sure!
Sphaeriinae:
A subfamily I incidentally discovered while looking for Unionids. Also, they are occasionally misidentified as Unionidae on iNat. I’m also the #1 observer for this group, as long as the genera Musculium and Euglesa in it.
Corbicula:
A widespread, often invasive genus I also found while looking for Unionids. I’m also #1 observer for the species Corbicula fluminea, because of a unique population near where I live.
Anadara:
Most of my ID’s of this genus were corrections, especially between A. brasiliana and chemnitzii. Very recently, I learned about a few other rarely-observed species like A. sercenada and A. hemidesmos which means I’m probably going to look through even more Anadara to correct even more observations.
Euglesa compressa, probably the only taxon where I’m both the top observer and identifier:
I’m also #1 observer on numerous other Euglesa species because of how under-observed they are. I made a post about them on this thread: https://forum.inaturalist.org/t/be-on-the-lookout-for/53457
