Darwin wrote in 1859 about defining what a species is: “No one definition has as yet satisfied all naturalists; yet every naturalist knows vaguely what he means when he speaks of a species." Gendered language aside, it seems like that's still true!

catalogue all natural species,

acquiring existing organizations,
establishing new ones,
creating a network of naturalists,
devoted to documentation,

was to eliminate 99% of you.

Great diagonal cross-section. Bracken, ground cedar/club moss, lichen, pipsissewa. I love it. I have printed and framed it. Just a little patch of scrubby cutover bush in the West Kootenays..... #moss #naturalists

“We were surprised to discover that the gathering was… a ritualistic devouring of 34 captured Imperial stormtroopers, who were spit-roasted alive in their armor for seli beli (“to seal in the flavor”) and tanga tiru (“divine tang of mortal fear”), a delicacy to the Ewok palate.”

disconnect between the green tech industry and men involved in it and capitalism and environmentalism that's about caring and protecting the natural world. It's also science vs industry in many ways, or scientists/naturalists vs engineers/technologists. This is how you get Abundance bullshit too.

Is it the SAME silverfish I rescue from my bathtub every day, or are they taking turns? And how long, if it is the same one, before it realises that the piece of paper is a magic carpet, not a predator?

Yes, Bächli et al. (2004) seems to be the top ID reference (listed by Barnard, 2011), but as you say, “a hefty investment”! So many taxonomic monographs essential for accurate morphological identification are sadly beyond the budget of most naturalists, especially younger folk, which is really sad.

Great pleasure to talk to the Abingdon Naturalists' Soc tonight about what we've learned in 80 yrs of studying Great Tits at Wytham. Such an enthusiastic & interested audience, some had connections to almost the start of the study. A privilege to work with what David Lack & Chris Perrins founded.
