397-Openstreetmap, Macrostrat (Details) gives geology,sedimentary, rocks, Lithography and physiography.
https://forum.inaturalist.org/t/add-a-link-to-google-earth-for-altitude-information/37680 Macrostrat is a platform for the aggregation and distribution of geological data relevant to the spatial and temporal distribution of sedimentary, igneous, and metamorphic rocks as well as data extracted from them. It is linked to the DD (formly GeoDeepDive) digital library and machine reading system, and it aims to become a community resource for the addition, editing, and distribution of new stratigraphic, lithological, environmental, and economic data. Interactive applications built upon Macrostrat are designed for educational and research purposes.
If you click on “Details” under the map of an observation, you’ll now see an option to view the observation’s coordinates on Macrostrat, which will tell you the elevation of the location as well as other details such as geology and physiography.
For example, if I go to this observation and click on Details under the map, I’ll see the link:
Which will take me to this page. There’s information on the right-hand side, including elevation, and I can zoom in on the map to see more details like Lithography
Unfortunately Macrostrat doesn’t have all this information for every place on Earth but you should be able to get elevation.

Avian Parasites and the Scientists Who Love Them: An Expedition to Discover the Diversity of Endemic Birds and Parasites in the Amazon
Despite the rich bird life in the eastern Amazon basin, relatively little research has been conducted in the Belém Area of Endemism in northeastern Brazil – one of at least eight regions in Amazonia with unique species found only in each of these respective areas. The Belém area is the most endangered of the eight, largely because of deforestation that has left just 24% of primary forest standing. Jason Weckstein, associate curator of Ornithology at Philadelphia’s Academy of Natural Sciences of Drexel University, will take us on an armchair expedition into this very special location, where he co-led a team conducting research to discover and describe the bird and bird parasite diversity in the region. He’ll share an up-close-and-personal look at everything from daily life in the field to the area’s biodiversity, the endemism patterns in birds and their associated parasites found there, and how the team’s findings are being used to advance our understanding of speciation, disease and parasite ecology, and conservation.
About the Speaker: Jason D. Weckstein, PhD, is Associate Curator of Ornithology at the Academy of Natural Sciences of Drexel University and Associate Professor in Department of Biodiversity, Earth and Environmental Sciences at Drexel University. His research focuses on the biology, biodiversity and evolutionary history of birds and their parasites. He is a fellow of the American Ornithological Society, and has over 20 years of experience working in natural history museums. He has conducted research on birds and their parasites in the United States, Canada, South Africa, Ghana, Malawi, Nicaragua, Brazil, and Mexico.
The value of natural history specimens is continually reaffirmed as we find additional, and previously unimaginable uses for these specimens. Most recently, natural history specimens are being reimagined as archives of microbial communities through time. These microorganisms are preserved in and on the bodies of their hosts and capture how host-parasite and host-pathogen interactions have changed through time.
Using bats and their associated parasites as a case study, Dr. Speer examines how environmental and host factors contribute to microbiome community composition and pathogen prevalence, and how natural history collections capture these interactions. In bats, the skin microbiome appears to vary with environment, while parasites tend to have highly species-specific microbiomes. However, to a lesser extent, habitat fragmentation, time, and geography contribute to variation in the microbiome of parasites.
Additionally, Dr. Speer explores how existing specimens in natural history collections may provide historical context for bat-pathogen and bat-parasite interactions. Studies of host-parasite-microbiome assemblages are necessary to advance our understanding of disease ecology and emergence in wildlife, especially given the wildlife origin of pathogens that impact human health and well-being. Natural history collections are uniquely suited to capture the complexities of wildlife interactions and, using new tools to detect microorganisms from these collections, can inform One Health research in the process.

Leuk recensie van SOVON op ons boekje over vogels in Delft en omgeving 1962-2022, dat onlangs is uitgekomen 🙂 https://sovon.nl/actueel/nieuwsberichten/jubileumboek-de-vogels-van-delft-en-omgeving
Jubileumboek De vogels van Delft en omgeving
23 januari 2023 Nieuwsbrief SOVON (link: https://sovon.nl/actueel/nieuws)
Naar aanleiding van het 60-jarige bestaan publiceerde Vogelwacht Delft e.o. onder redactie van Kees Mostert en Gerard Dumaij eind december een mooi jubileumboek. In de fraai vormgegeven publicatie zijn alle vogelgerelateerde ontwikkelingen binnen het werkgebied de afgelopen 60 jaar weergegeven.
Het boek schetst met behulp van inspirerende anekdotes en bijpassende foto’s een duidelijk beeld over de veranderingen van de afgelopen 60 jaar in het werkgebied van Vogelwacht Delft en omgeving. De speelse manier van schrijven, mede tot stand gekomen door het archief van de Vogelstreken (het kwartaalblad van Vogelwacht Delft en omgeving), maken het erg aantrekkelijk om te lezen. De chronologie vanaf de jaren zestig tot 2020 zorgt ervoor dat de verandering in de loop van de jaren duidelijk is weergegeven.
Het boek onderscheidt zich van andere boeken door de historische veldverhalen over bijvoorbeeld roestende Ransuilen in 1973. Een zwart-witfoto voegt daarbij veel toe aan de leeservaring van het verhaal. Verder is het interessant om de resultaten van watervogeltellingen in de bebouwde kom tussen 1965 en 1971 te lezen, de trends van verschillende broedvogels zoals de Bosuil en Fitis in één oogopslag te kunnen bestuderen en meer te weten te komen over de vogelhotspots binnen het werkgebied. Ook recente waarnemingen worden besproken, zoals de door vogelaars veel bezochte Dwergooruil in de zomer van 2021.
Kees Mostert, één van de auteurs, gaf recent een lezing over het jubileumboek van de vogelwacht; die is hier terug te kijken.
De publicatie kwam mede tot stand dankzij een bijdrage van het Rob Goldbach Publicatie Fonds. https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/wriggling-into-recording-10-yrs-of-the-national-earthworm-recording-scheme-tickets-236697236807

Wriggling Into Recording: 10 Years of the National Earthworm Recording Scheme
Keiron Derek Brown
02 Feb 2023 13:00 – 14:00
Earthworms are widely-regarded as ecologically important and recognised as ecosystem engineers (i.e. responsible for creating the habitats in which they live). However, they remain hugely under-studied and we have little species-specific information on the 31 species that inhabit the British Isles. The National Earthworm Recording Scheme aims to address this knowledge gap. This free webinar will explore how earthworm researchers are using the 20,000+ earthworm records generated over the last 10 years to improve our understanding of the ecology, behaviour, populations, distributions and habitat associations of different species of earthworm, as well as a current project to assess the provisional conservation status of all British earthworm species.
