Which models are we using, and why?
We are running two models within iRecord app: Pl@ntNet (in the Plant List Survey) and Naturalis’ Nature Identification API (NIA). The Naturalis AI works on a series of interconnected models, the first of which identifies which taxonomic group is central in the photo. The photo is then sent to the relevant classifier for its group and likely identifications are returned with confidence scores.
UK Freshwater Jellyfish Recording Scheme
The UK Freshwater Jellyfish Recording Scheme is designed to collect observations of freshwater jellyfish across the United Kingdom. The most well-known freshwater jellyfish, Craspedacusta sowerbii, was first described in London in 1880, but there have been few reports of this elusive species since. It has a global distribution and is likely to have more widespread distribution in the UK than is currently known. You can help by letting us know when and where you see them:
Freshwater Leech Recording Scheme
The Freshwater Leech Recording Scheme was established in early 2024 by two leech enthusiasts, Rachel Davies and Craig Macadam. The scheme hopes to encourage greater recording of freshwater leeches in Britain.
