Wunderkammer-Projekt

Hi,
some of you may know Katja (treegrow) here on iNat. I got inspired by a project she created, where she collects all her observations of species not seen by anyone else so far.

It's a great idea, and I think it fits very much with the idea of our iNat-Challenge-Project here, as this might inspire others to go and look for those missing species.

If you want to create one for yourself, you need to make a collection project and manually include all species names. Then you can regularly check your project and as soon as an additional observer turns up in the project overview, you can remove that taxon from the project (better check first the other's observation for a mis-ID 😉)

Here's mine: https://www.inaturalist.org/projects/carnifex-s-wunderkammer

Is there an easy way to check if iNaturalist does not have an other observation of this species? I am afraid you have to check all rare species one by one...

exactly 🧐
maybe there is a workaround with the compare tool, by going through a subset of your observations

e.g. all Drosophilidae seen exclusively by me (I even discovered one more species not added to my Wunderkiste...)

it is working ok when the taxon number in the querie is below 500 species

oh yes, that is a nice idea & project. Thanks for sharing it, and the hint to the compare-tool, never thought of using it like this

Hey folks, there are good news:
In the forum there is an easier way described to find unique species and I also could add some to my lists that I had previously missed. Here's how it is done:

Enter this link and replace my username with your's
https://jumear.github.io/stirfry/iNatAPIv1_observations_species_counts.html?order=asc&user_id=carnifex

You will get a list of all your species (taxa) with their respective observation count in descending order. The last column will give you the total number of observations of this taxon. So, to find unique ones, just check for those observations which have a '1' in the last column.

If there are too many entries to be checked one-by-one, Copy+Paste the content into excel, but only enter text (you need to select that option). Then create a table out of all these entries and filter for the '1'.

One caveat: if you are the only observer of that taxon, but have multiple observations, that method would not work, but if you want, you can check the observations with 2, 3, ... total observations as well 😉

awesome, how very fantastic is that! Thanks for sharing.

Now I know blue on white that my Wunderkammer is empty. Closest I got is this https://www.inaturalist.org/observations?verifiable=true&taxon_id=923177&place_id=&preferred_place_id=7207&locale=de with a obs count of 2 :-D

Yes, I went through yours as well 😀
Don't you have another one with a count of 2?

Publicado por carnifex hace más de 2 años

uh, maybe I scrolled too fast, and was to lazy to use the xls-export (what of course would habe been in effect the true lazy ;) )

Anyhow, I was already very happy to see some observations with a count around 10
