Spatial and Temporal Patterns in Volunteer Data Contribution Activities: A Case Study of eBird
ISPRS International Journal of Geo-Information, 2020 Volunteered geographic information (VGI) has great potential to reveal spatial and temporal dynamics of geographic phenomena. However, a variety of potential biases in VGI are recognized, many of which root from volunteer data contribution activities ...

The influence of native shrub density on bird communities in the southern drylands of California, USA [PDF]
BMC Ecology and EvolutionInteractions between key landscape features in desert ecosystems such as shrubs and other foundation plants can influence avian community assembly. Bird species often use resources and microhabitats provided by these shrubs for food, perching sites, and ...
