The Granular Size Concept in Avian Ecology: A Critical Analysis of eBird Data Bias Using the Bird Rank Abundance Distribution

Birds, 2023
In previous studies using eBird citizen data, bird abundance rankings followed a power law distribution. Our research delves into the “granular size” concept within these power laws, likening birds to firms.

eBird, Expertise, & the Technological Mediation Of Citizen Science

Journal of Human-Technology Relations, 2023
Technological advances in application development and open science continue to revolutionize and create new forms of citizen science. However, as of today, the role of technology in citizen science has remained relatively unexplored. In this essay, we pose the question of how citizen science apps shape the practice of citizen science, looking ...
