Collective science

Maybe. But there's definitely no time for that. And if you just come to try it on, I don't even know if it's objective. Now, if you left the thermometer in the soil, and it somehow magically read the information on t per day, gave the average, lowest and highest t. Dreams. Although I think you can also measure the temperature of the soil on arrival. So thank you.

I think it (i.e. soil) may be different from that of air.
Previously, there were rather cumbersome temperature recorders.
Maybe you can find out this information from local people (village-farm departments)?

The soil temperature is always different from the air temperature. So it remains only to find out. The locals are more likely to send me to the dope without understanding what I want.

"Because it will be much more objective and accurate. And then on TV I watch the weather for 3 days ahead, and as a rule, these figures are different every day, as they approach. So that's the question???? whether there are records in the Internet-weather reports. I will be grateful for the links. "

And here, for some reason, it's empty. maybe the problem will work again..

About the temperature of the soil. This will be superfluous in this case. Here at least to collect normally. For example, I still can't get to the "training ground" of my fees.

Indeed, a single temperature measurement is practically useless. You don't need cheap equipment or painstaking preliminary research. For example, soil scientists sometimes study the daily dynamics of certain parameters (soil moisture, CO2 concentration in the soil, and possibly temperature, too). In this way, you can determine the time when the temperature is equal to or very close to the daily average.

Seen in General Entomology (Bey-Bienko) what is T. near-ground air at 3-5 deg. higher than the surrounding area (which is important for the activity of soil insects). If there is no possibility to try it on, then you can just take it into account.

Any work should start with coming up with the Goal of the work and, preferably, specific tasks within this goal. Then we select the methods that best solve these problems. Of course, if you bury the jar under the snow-not an end in itself. Coming up with <b>The name of the study, at least a working one to start with. The research region is delineated, and the object of research is determined (based on taxonomic and / or ecological principles). It is advisable to immediately estimate the time frame and how approximately the work should be completed (expected result) - time limit or volume of material. For example: "three-year fees" or "about 20 thousand copies were studied." Once the goals and objectives are determined, review and analyze the literature on the topic (ideally, of course, you need to know the literature in advance). This will help you avoid methodological (and other) mistakes, clarify your goals/objectives, and so on.

Finally. For collective work, it is important to make a clear plan with specific deadlines. The number of direct performers should be limited. Otherwise, the job will never end. If there are more than two performers, then it is advisable to "appoint" a responsible person who would strictly monitor compliance with deadlines.

Truly!

For some reason, tags don't work...

Hello!, potential collaborators)))) There is such a site, for example
HOSTS - a Database of the World's Lepidopteran Hostplants
and there is a "Hostplant database input form" - http://www.nhm.ac.uk/research-curation/pro...lants/form.html

So, who could concoct a similar form (toltko type like here - so that the results are immediately displayed) with the help of which mono accumulates faunal materials. Multiple cells - so that later it is immediately distributed in columns in the exeL table, and it is possible to sort by different parameters, as well as unify the entered data.

If someone cares about the authorship of the find "pyadenitsy marginata" - this is a kindergarten (I saw comments here-we'll publish them first - so where are these deposits of waste paper and the man-hours killed to raise this for equally non-public purposes). Author - this is also in one of the columns, and column-confirmed or not by collectible material.

I think this can be a real shift in collective research of entomofauna, and related things (consortia, ent complexes, food connections, phenology). I hope it will come true! and after implementing the starnichki form, it will be moved to a separate topic.

By the way, about exel. I made a kind of entomological calendar. The first column1-type,
2 - place of collection
3-date
4, 5,6,7,8, etc. if there is a need for a month
, What is the point, in columns 4,5,6,7 I enter the date but only in the form of numbers. And in the toolbar of the 7th window, in English, in Russian I forgot how. So there is a function-filter, dale go autofilter. And in a pre-laid out place, you should have triangles. Let's say in the month of May, I open my calendar, in the filter I give the condition greater than 5 and less than 10, and iksel gives me all the insects that were caught during this period of time, very convenient. You can create such signs and provide the necessary data for any objects of interest in entomology.
