eBird: Engaging Birders in Science and Conservation [PDF]
PLoS Biology, 2011 How do you successfully engage an audience in a citizen-science project? The processes developed by eBird (www.ebird.org), a fast-growing web-based tool that now gathers millions of bird observations per month, offers a model.

Using eBird data to model population change of migratory bird species [PDF]
Avian Conservation and Ecology, 2017 Citizen science projects provide a vast amount of biological data that can be used to model population trends of species. Robust statistical modeling techniques are necessary to account for multiple sources of bias inherent to the data.

eBird: Curating Citizen Science Data for Use by Diverse Communities
International Journal of Digital Curation, 2014 In this paper we describe eBird, a highly successful citizen science project. With over 150,000 participants worldwide and an accumulation of over 140,000,000 bird observations globally in the last decade, eBird has evolved into a major tool for ...

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 ...

Avian Conservation and Ecology, 2020 Historic population trajectories for most North American bird species are largely unknown for years prior to circa 1970. Additionally, current estimates of population trajectories of boreal and Arctic breeding species are imprecise or biased because of ...

BirdFlow : Learning seasonal bird movements from eBird data
Methods in Ecology and Evolution, 2023 Large‐scale monitoring of seasonal animal movement is integral to science, conservation and outreach. However, gathering representative movement data across entire species ranges is frequently intractable.

Exploring the spatiotemporal influence of climate on American avian migration with random forests [PDF]
Scientific ReportsBirds have adapted to climatic and ecological cycles to inform their Spring and Fall migration timings, but anthropogenic global warming has affected these long-establish cycles. Understanding these dynamics is critical for conservation during a changing

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 ...
