Knock‐knock, who is inside? Exploiting citizen science data to shed light on Aedes albopictus indoor presence in southern Europe

People and Nature, EarlyView.
Abstract Animal behaviour in human‐dominated landscapes is difficult to study at large spatial and temporal scales, especially for small species characterised by elusive movements. Citizen science can help overcome these limitations by turning routine human–animal encounters into observations of where and when species are active.

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Plants sustain all life, providing the energetic and structural basis of ecosystems, but they face a growing risk of extinction. Reversing this decline requires an understanding of how scientific knowledge is distributed among species, and identification of the biases and gaps that hinder effective responses to the threats they face. However, we reveal
