As they wing their way across North America, millions of migrating monarch butterflies form a living river of orange. In this episode, the second of two podcasts on monarchs, we’ll meet citizens young and old who are dipping a toe in that river in the name of science and of beauty.

Beetles and Moths - A One Species at a Time Podcast from EOL

How much trouble can an unassuming black beetle no bigger than your fingernail be? Plenty, as we learn in this episode of One Species at a Time. Tiny stowaways like the European Gazelle beetle are arriving on container ships and wreaking havoc with native ecosystems. Long-standing pests like the gypsy moth have been joined by new exotic species that are crowding out North American fauna. Ari Daniel Shapiro journeys to the forests of Oregon to meet the beetles.

Seagrass: A One Species at a Time Podcast from the Encyclopedia of Life

The species that was Àlex Lorente’s passion was an extraordinarily long-lived seagrass, once common along the coast of his native Spain. Tragically, Lorente himself was not to enjoy a long life: he died in 2012 at the age of 37. But his colleagues in marine conservation are working to make sure the links Lorente forged between scientists and fishermen survive, for the good of the Mediterranean that he cherished.

Crawfish: A One Species at a Time Podcast

For centuries, human commerce has played a role in distributing plant and animal species around the globe. But not every species can claim the title of circumnavigator. In this week’s episode, Ari Daniel Shapiro journeys to the Gulf Coast of the U.S. to meet a tiny Magellan, the star of an unlikely story that has come full circle.

News: New integration with iNaturalist enables mobile observations using EOL Collections as checklists

EOL and iNaturalist have teamed up to provide observational capabilities for EOL Collections. This makes it possible for any EOL Collection to become a live “observation checklist” through the iNaturalist iPhone app and their website. As the first example of close integration with an online naturalist community, this collaboration points the way for future work with other active citizen science platforms.

Through the work of EOL and iNaturalist, you can make and share observations from your school yard, backyard, from your walk to work, or as part of a structured citizen science activity. Your observations will be visible both on EOL and in iNaturalist.
