Since 2010, the WFSU Ecology Blog has roamed the outdoor spaces of the WFSU Public Media coverage area with a two-part mission. The first part is to get to know as many of our natural spaces as possible- the rivers, forests, estuaries, lakes, swamps, and so much more. We show the connections between those places, and how to enjoy them recreationally.
The second part of our mission is to collect scientific knowledge about our area, and present it in a way that's easy to digest. We trek everywhere from city parks to deep in the Apalachicola National Forest with scientists of different disciplines- biologists, geologists, archeologists, oceanographers.
We're looking to show our audience how to enjoy the outdoors of north Florida and south Georgia, and to recognize the complexity of life, and the forces that shape the land we love.

Become a Field Researcher with Your Phone: tracking rare species with iNaturalist
When we download an app like iNaturalist, many of us do so because we want an app that quickly tells us what plants and animals we see. It's a handy tool for identifying weeds in the garden or critters in the forest. But when we make iNaturalist observations, we create a data point with photographs and time and place information.
It turns out, that information can be useful to researchers. Can be.
We meet a group of researchers urging people to use iNaturalist to help a small butterfly. Brian Innouye is a biologist at Florida State University. He rides his bike through the Munson Sandhills region of the Apalachicola National Forest in search of sundial lupine. This is the larval host for the frosted elfin, the plant its caterpillars eat. If more people find the plant, that's more potential locations for a butterfly that has all but disappeared from its range. Tall Timbers Research Station in Tallahassee is a partner on this project.
We also searched for a rare bee, the sandhills cellophane bee, to add data points to the Florida Natural Areas Inventory database of species of concern. Not only do we add datapoints to the database using iNaturalist, but FNAI biologist Dave Almquist uses iNaturalist data to create a map of potential locations for the bee.
You can see our search for the bee in the video. And you can learn more about what makes a quality iNaturalist observation, both in the video and in more depth on the WFSU Ecology Blog: blog.wfsu.org/blog-coastal-health/2024/05/finding-the-rare-sandhills-cellophane-bee-with-data/

The brown-headed nuthatch- a twenty year study of bird choices
มุมมอง 1.1K10 หลายเดือนก่อน
Tall Timbers Research Station north of Tallahassee, Florida, conducts research into the ecology of the fire dependent longleaf pine ecosystem. We head up to Tall Timbers to look at a long-term study of a small but fascinating resident of longleaf forests- the brown headed nuthatch. This bird is a cooperative breeder, meaning that no all of the birds that fledge the nest leave the family group. ...
Meet Buddha, a Florida panther at the Tallahassee Museum
มุมมอง 53111 หลายเดือนก่อน
Buddha is a reminder of what we once had in north Florida: more apex predators. While we still have black bears and alligators, we no longer have red wolves, indigo snakes, and one of our state's most iconic- and imperiled- species, the Florida panther. Buddha is a panther who sustained an injury early in life, for which he received an injection of stem cells into his shoulder. He receives a we...

Great video! Probably I missed some information. My son growing these butterflies from caterpillar to butterfly. We have passion vines at home (inside). Caterpillars look happy with that. But when they come out we try to feed them with sugar water, pineapple, orange, and banana. They just became weak after 3-4 days, stopped flying and ..... This happened with just two of them for now. At this moment we have 5 chrysalises and 6 small caterpillars. How do we have to feed them and on what day release them? Thank you so much in advance.
I use the enclosure to video their change, and I recommend leaving them out in the yard as much as possible. But I understand it's cool to see them go through their stages up close. Once they hatch, it takes a couple of hours for their wings to dry. They should be released by the end of the day.
You need to feed them organic plants….not sprayed wanythimg. One year I was forced to buy dill from Kroger’s….terrible mistake all the caterpillars died 😩

My goodness 😂 that’s a whole choir singing.😂😂
This is a shame…I’m from Virginia but vacation a lot in Georgia as it’s a beautiful state all over. I really hope a resolution is found here for all the farmers, watermen and beekeepers.
They are plentiful where I live. Would love to handle one but I’m afraid of getting bitten. 😅
You don’t need to worry they are pretty docile and if you get bitten they are non venomous so the most you’d have to do is wash your hands to prevent infection (like you’d do with any cut)
Because they are MAGNIFICENT trees. They invoke an ancient sense of connection with one's past and spirituality. Harming those trees more than any other in the region, it flips a switch in people.
Will they eat queen Anne's lace? A relative to carrots?
What a great video!! I'm hoping to make a mini pond in a big storage tote, and this gave me great ideas for plants to use in it! I live in Jax and I see lots of pond-making videos for the UK, so I never know what plants would work/be native in my area for ponds. Thanks for making this video!

I love using iNaturalist
I just recently started using this and seek that’s another app by iNaturalist so good !!
QUALITY CONTENT
Very interesting, thanks.
I've been using iNat since 2011 and manage a collection project in the area my biodiversity conservation NGO works. Via iNat we've added more than a thousand insect species to the local biodiversity data (would be a lot more if we could get more species level identifications), expanded the range of a few species, confirmed locations of a number of extremely rare species, and overall greatly increased the bod yof knowledge of our region. Now, multiply this across the world and it's gratifying to see the positive impact citizen science projects like iNat have not only on the state of knowledge, but on the participatory and appreciative aspects of nature and science involvement for everyone involved regardless of professional or educational background.
this is what i like

I just found information about the Nokuse project. This is an amazing and inspiring mission! Thanks for Your video.
I would love to visit Apalachicola one day!
What a dream life!! This is such impressive and important work.
hi, I just came here to comment that your "bees of north florida and south georgia" blog post helped me identify what I think is an eastern bumblebee in my backyard! (I don't have twitter or facebook and wasn't able to find your contact/email page, sorry lol)
Your gonna kill it if you do it too much
Om nom nom😋
Ok so I'm glad I'm not the only one in my yard in north FL on my knees looking at wildflowers and spring plants 😂 we have so much fox glove and tick seed flowers coming up now but black eyed Susans are on their way
I see your trail cams on the Gopherus burrows. Do you have any footage posted anywhere? Thanks.
Are those shortleaf and loblolly pines in the background?
As for fishermen … farmers ……don’t put all your eggs in one basket. Just like any industry Especially when your eggs are based off the population density of Georgia and basically ATL is the biggest issue. You can’t change how big Atlanta will continue to be that city and the others north of where your ar is far more important to AMERICANS the Oysters or bee hives off the river . I keep saying ATL because it’s on the same level as NYC and Houston, LA as growing
Mine are hibernating. When should I start to keep an eye on them? I’ve read that may is when they start to emerge. I live in Pennsylvania not sure if it matters.
Nope
!!!
Nice
In Brazil we grow colonies of native bees in wooden boxes. Os that possible in US?
Just beautiful ❤
Americas king cobra!! The amazing indigo snake!!
Correction Loggerhead comes for you puss in boots
What gorgeous animals. I hope their population continues to increase.
Karst geology has fascinated me. I've read two books on the geology of the Mammoth Cave system, plus other karst geology text. Can you recommend any books on the Aucilla sinks geology?
😻 'Promo SM'
How long is the emergence process? I have tons of chrysalises in my yard after planting one passion vine this spring ❤
Once they've made a chrysalis, it should only take a week or two.
I've seen them eating my dill plants, I didn't know at first, but I got more research, and found this amazing butterfly
❤
Akistrodon piscivorus gape😊
I've been All over this and soo amazed by the people who live there.
I have six of the caterpillars on parsley I got from McDonald's Garden Center....if they run out....can I use store bought parsley in the produce section and bring them inside?
Bunch parsley from the produce aisle should work, if you keep it hydrated. I prefer buying small plants to put in an enclosure, as they grow back after getting eaten. And if you want to keep swallowtails from eating the parsley you're growing for yourself, they'll eat related plants such as fennel and dill, and native relatives such as golden Alexander and meadow parsnip. In my garden they tend to prefer fennel and dill.
@@WFSUEcology I have two black swallowtail caterpillars who are now that beautiful green... black with yellow spots ...can I bring those inside and put some of the bunch parsley I got from the store?
They're truly amazing to watch.....we have five Painted Lady Caterpillars who are now ready to pupate and are all hanging upside down.... unfortunately the Monarch caterpillar that was on the potted milkweed.... disappeared....and we have elm on the side of the house that has nine baby Question Mark caterpillars but they went incognito???
@@williambernstein4313 Yes, that should work.
@@WFSUEcology how long will the parsley stay good? The one I bring inside?
With all due respect, blacks were called blacks - not African-Americans or any other hyphenated Americans. Keep the political correctness out of legitimate history.
No we were not black isn't even really a color it's the essence in which all colors come from. Most of us here in America did not come from Africa; our ancestors were already here! An those Native Americans you see now are the descendants of Mongolians that migrated from Siberia $5 pretindians. We know who we are stop playing with us please
Right they are Americans just like you and I.
Do they keep him constantly in a cage? Does he have any roaming range in the museum?
He stays in the cage overnight, and for his treatments. As you can see in the video, he has an enclosure in which he roams.
Why is there drill noises
So adorable! The happiness of ensuring their survival and then releasing them into the environment or live their best lives 🥰
