iNaturalist Ecology Assignment
For this assignment you will be required to research information about your iNaturalist
observations and provide citations to peer reviewed sources supporting your claims. You may
use the USF library search to find peer-reviews sources. You may also use peer-reviewed
sources from the iNaturalist Project Journal Post "Free Online Guides," or you may find your
own sources. Keep in mind that you will be graded on the scientific merit of your sources (they
must be peer-reviewed), their relevance to the claim they support, and correct formatting of
the citation.
We will be using MLA (7th edition or later) to format citations. If you need more information,
go to https://guides.lib.usf.edu/c.php?g=589849&p=8031798 for USF's library guide to MLA
formatting. You can even sign up for a free non-graded tutorial in via canvas.
1.
All organisms have their own role and provide ecological services to the environment.
Spend some time researching and understanding the following ecological terms:
Keystone species
,
Endemic Species
,
Invasive Species
,
Native Species
,
Symbiosis
.
Then, answer the following questions about each of your observations.
Seedless Plant
a.
Provide the URL (web address) to your iNaturalist observation page.
https://www.inaturalist.org/observations/186858334
b.
What is the common name of your organism?
Toothed Midsorus Fern
c.
List at least two ecosystem services that this organism provides. This can
include food web relationships, habitat modifications, interactions with other
species, or anything else ecologically relevant.
The toothed Midsorus Fern is used for wetland restoration. The rhizomes can
climb tree trunks.
d.
Provide a citation to a peer-reviewed source describing the ecosystem
services listed above.
“Toothed Midsorus Fern (Telmatoblechnum Serrulatum).”
iNaturalist
. N.p., n.d. Web. 25 Oct.
2023.
e.
What is the native status of your organism in Florida (native, endemic, non-
native, or invasive)?
Native
f.
Describe the range of your organism. If your organism is non-native or
invasive, describe both the native range and the non-native range.
The toothed Midsorus fern is native to Florida, South America, and has been
found in Malaysia and Australia.
g.
Provide a citation to a peer-reviewed source describing the range(s) of your
organism as described above.

c.
List at least two ecosystem services that this organism provides. This can
include food web relationships, habitat modifications, interactions with other
species, or anything else ecologically relevant
.
If eaten by vertebrates, the Cut-Leaf Philodendron is poisonous. If growing in a
native area, these plants tend to climb up trees.
d.
Provide a citation to a peer-reviewed source describing the ecosystem
services listed above.
“Monstera Deliciosa (Ceriman, Cutleaf Philodendron, Hurricane Plant, Mexican Breadfruit,
Mother-in-Law, Split-Leaf Philodendron, Swiss Cheese Plant) | North Carolina Extension

e.
What is the native status of your organism in Florida (native, endemic, non-
native, or invasive)?
Non-native
f.
Describe the range of your organism. If your organism is non-native or
invasive, describe both the native range and the non-native range.
The cut-leaf philodendron is native to South America, including Mexico, Panama
and Brazil. Non-natively it's found all over the world as a houseplant or
cultivated outside in warmer climates.
g.
Provide a citation to a peer-reviewed source describing the range(s) of your
organism as described above.

It
grows in, “
in lawns,
grassy areas, and open woods” (

Common problems with poorly written lab reports.
• Use the abstract to introduce the report instead of to summarize.
• Refer to the specimen by common name instead of by scientific name.
• Refer to errors that may have occurred without discussing the evidence that those errors actually did occur

ex. Locate any woodland or forest area close to your home. Create a 10 x 10 m quadrat once you've identified a suitable location. Markings can be made with a straw or a rope. List and count any fauna found at the locations (either inside or outside the quadrats).
1. How far should you record and observe any fauna encountered outside the quadrat? Why do you think it is not necessary to note the distance for faunal observation outside the quadrat?

Summarize;
From my observation post, well camouflaged under some boxwood bushes, I delight in the contemplation of dinco young foxes that play at the door of their refuge. They have come out half an hour ago, with all caution, when the sun was peeking over the peaks. Little by little they have gained confidence; lying in the most comical postures they have been nibbling, only to end up chasing each other openly over the fresh grass that grows before the black hole of the cave. Suddenly the five foxes at the same time rush towards their fort. Almost at the same moment I smell a growing buzzing behind my head, like that produced by a flock of pigeons flying low through an oak grove. First I see a huge shadow, exactly in front of the peephole of my observatory. A brown mass is mistaken for it. It is the royal eagle. With the wings semi-closed, forming an angle with the body, with the claws open and advanced, the bird of Jupiter is materially nailed against the wall of the fox…

With the hypotheis that sunlight has a positive ffect on animal diversity
Results compared to other work. How can your results be explained with respect to other people’s work? Or what would be expected from similar habitats?
Additional discussion questions. Answer the following questions when writing your short discussion, think of What is the next logical step to further the results from your study?
❖ If you collected animal data at a different time of the year, would we get the same Diversity Index calculations? Why or why not?
❖ An area with lots of weeds might score a high Diversity Index. Does a high Diversity Index always mean a habitat is healthy? Why or why not?
❖ What are some limitations or problems with random sampling to calculate diversity?
