Integrating counts from rigorous surveys and participatory science to better understand spatiotemporal variation in population processes

Methods in Ecology and Evolution
Knowledge of variation in population processes (e.g. population growth) across broad spatiotemporal scales is fundamental to population ecology and critical for conservation decision‐making. Count data from rigorous surveys (e.g.
