FfFfFfFF 58,143 Posted February 11, 2023 Share Posted February 11, 2023 Scientists have identified six new or rediscovered Western Australian plant species from photos taken and uploaded to the internet by members of the public, including a nature photographer from Jurien Bay WA, a pair of wildflower enthusiasts from Dongara WA and a farmer from near the Stirling Range National Park. Lead researcher, PhD student Thilo Krueger from Curtin’s School of Molecular and Life Sciences said the newly described species were carnivorous sundews and were identified through images shared on Facebook and to the iNaturalist website, highlighting the value of such platforms for contributing to advances in taxonomic research. “Australia is the world’s richest region for carnivorous plant diversity and also has a thriving community of nature enthusiasts and photographers all eager to capture and share images of plant species on their personal social media pages or that of groups such as The Wildflower Society of Western Australia.” Source Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
