"My name is Antoni Vincent Milewski, biogeographer and evolutionary ecologist. I have published scientific papers on various topics, e.g. myrmecophagy, ant-plant interactions, ornithology, trace element nutrition, intercontinental comparisons, the fundamental agenda of life, vegetation structure, the zoology of proboscides, the ecological nature of Australia, etc. I have also published semi-popular articles in magazines including Australasian Science, Wildlife Australia, African Wildlife, Swara, and Veld and Flora. My main contribution to iNaturalist is my Journal: I offer various interpretations on the photo-observations, writing in as non-technical a style as possible without abandoning scientific rigor. I try to Post at least every few days, on whichever topic comes up at the time."
