Looking for gainful employment as an ecologist or ecology related field? You cannot go wrong with Missouri State Parks!

These are two great position working with really wonderful and talented people in some of the best remnant natural communities in the Midwest.

Missouri State Parks supports their staff and gives them the autonomy to do what needs done. I can't speak highly enough about the team that these positions can put you on or the great places you'll get to work.

Fern identification, especially the bipinnate to bipinnate-ish ones, has long been an Achilles heel for me. While working on a ferns of Missouri project, I took my notes and combined them into a table key. Now I can just keep this handy cheat sheet in my clipboard or on my phone and get better resolution in the field than my brain seems interested in storing on its own.

Anyway, I thought others might find it helpful, so here you go.

Warning: It is in beta phase, so use caution and be sure to cross-reference any ID you get. Also, keep in mind that it does not include several of the more rare species of ferns. If you see any errors, which I'm sure are there, please message me.

Dichanthelium version is in the works, so stay tuned.
