Odolympics Preliminary Results

313 species were recorded and 10,690 records were submitted. iNaturalist had slighltly more records but Odonata Central had slightly more species. Everyone had a lot of fun. Not too late to add your observations if you made them during 19-27 Jun time window. It will be a few weeks before we download all the data.

When will data be uploaded to Odonata Central

Greetings

The June Odolympics is almost complete. It has been a great success with over 10,000 records contributed between iNatualist and Odonata Central.

In a few weeks, we will be downloading all the data collected in the iNatualist project and importing it into Odonata Central. We will warn you before this happens so you have time to complete your data entry. Note this is a manual process and there is no direct link between the two, so INaturalist data will not appear on Odonata Central until then.

At that time we will be able to produce some consolidated statistics. However, remember these is still the December Odolympics primarily for the Southern Hemisphere so we won't be producing a full consolidation until that is complete.

Finally, be sure you have registered on the Odonata Central website and provided your iNaturalist user name in your profile. Otherwise, your data cannot be imported.

Contribute your data to the Odolympics!

Some of us at the Dragonfly Society of the Americas and Sociedad de Odonatología Latinoamericana are real data geeks, and OdonataCentral provides some really useful tools for mapping the distribution of dragonflies and damselflies.

Here is a heat map of all sightings in June (this map was created in seconds, BTW).

And here is a similar map created in iNaturalist.

These maps show two things: For one, we need more submissions from Central and South America! And secondly, it shows there are still many unexplored places, even in heavily sampled regions like the US.

What are you going to discover during this year’s Odolympics on June 19-27?

Odolympics Start Tomorrow - June 19, 2021

What kind of totals are possible for the Odolympics on June 19-27? In the US, there are over 400 species recorded in June. Canada has over 180. Costa Rica has 90. Brazil has 60. In some states and provinces, it may even be possible to see over 100 species, though that would require a ton of effort! Who is going to find the most diversity, and collectively, what regions are going to be best represented by the Odolympics? We can’t wait to find out!

Check out this map representing the regional diversity of Odonata in June (from GBIF).
