Efficacy of eBird Data as an Aid in Conservation Planning and Monitoring [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Field Ornithology, 2015
One of the world’s largest citizen science projects is eBird, a database that has been used primarily to address questions of bird distributions and abundance over large spatial scales.

The eBird Enterprise: An Integrated Approach to Development and Application of Citizen Science

Biological Conservation, 2014
Citizen-science projects engage volunteers to gather or process data to address scientific questions. But citizen-science projects vary in their ability to contribute usefully for science, conservation, or public policy. eBird has evolved from a basic citizen-science project into a collective enterprise, taking a novel approach to citizen science by ...

eBird: A Citizen-Based Bird Observation Network in the Biological Sciences

Biological Conservation, 2009
New technologies are rapidly changing the way we collect, archive, analyze, and share scientific data. For example, over the next several years it is estimated that more than one billion autonomous sensors will be deployed over large spatial and temporal scales, and will gather vast quantities of data.

eBirding

Proceedings of the 2011 iConference, 2011
The decreasing cost of technology and Internet access has resulted in increasingly large-scale scientific research projects that rely on technology-mediated public participation. This poster takes a process theory perspective to discuss how technology adoption in a citizen science project influences participation and thereby scientific outcomes.

Why and How eBird Wants Your Numbers

Central Valley Birds, 2019
We discuss how birders can make their submissions of bird records to eBird more valuable. We cover why contributing to eBird is important, how the numbers are used, and the importances of reporting not just species observed but also numbers, level of effort, and distance traveled during observations.

eBird: A Human/Computer Learning Network for Biodiversity Conservation and Research

Proceedings of the AAAI Conference on Artificial Intelligence, 2012
In this paper we describe eBird, a citizen science project that takes advantage of human observational capacity and machine learning methods to explore the synergies between human computation and mechanical computation. We call this model a Human/Computer Learning Network, whose core is an active learning feedback loop between humans and machines

Highly specialized recreationists contribute the most to the citizen science project eBird

Ornithological Applications, 2022
Abstract Contributory citizen science projects (hereafter “contributory projects”) are a powerful tool for avian conservation science. Large-scale projects such as eBird have produced data that have advanced science and contributed to many conservation applications.

Modeling spatially biased citizen science effort through the eBird database

Environmental and Ecological Statistics, 2021
Citizen science databases are increasing in importance as sources of ecological information, but variability in effort across locations is inherent to such data. Spatially biased data—data not sampled uniformly across the study region—is expected. A further introduction of bias is variability in the level of sampling activity across locations.
