Using citizen science data to inform the relative sensitivity of waterbirds to natural versus human‐dominated landscapes in China
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2020 at "Ecology and Evolution"
DOI: 10.1002/ece3.6449
Abstract: Abstract Habitat loss is widely regarded as one of the most destructive factors threatening native biodiversity. Because migratory waterbirds include some of the most globally endangered species, information on their sensitivity to landscape would benefit… read more here.

Facilitating Large‐Scale Bird Biodiversity Data Collection in Citizen Science: ‘Relaxed’ Point Counts for Anytime, Anywhere Monitoring
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2025 at "Ecology and Evolution"
DOI: 10.1002/ece3.72176
Abstract: ABSTRACT Citizen science has expanded biodiversity monitoring, yet many datasets lack standardisation in spatial and temporal coverage and survey protocols. In birds, for example, traditional point count surveys often impose strict requirements on location, timing… read more here.
