I recently gave a presentation on the DFW Carnivores iNaturalist Project at the International Urban Wildlife Conference in Chicago, IL. For that presentation, all the data was analyzed and here are some results of that analysis:
As of February 7, 2015...
o The project consisted of 581 Observations
o 83% of Observations contained a photo, 88% of those without a photo contained a narrative
o 11 different species and 17 Taxa were represented
o Most observations for native carnivores: 202 Bobcat, 173 Coyote, 117 Raccoon, 20 Striped Skunk, 15 Gray Fox, & 7 River Otter,
o Observation Types: 55% Visual, 19% Trail Camera, 15% Tracks, 7% Bones/Carcass, 4% Scat, < 1% for Call/Vocalization & Other
o Observations occurred in 48 incorporated municipalities
o The top 25 contributors contributed 80% of the data and each user averaged 6.5 observations submitted to the DFW Carnivores Project
o 37% of Observations used the Obscured or Private Geoprivacy Option
