Environmental and socio‐economic factors behind data provision in 17 citizen science projects

People and Nature, Volume 8, Issue 7, Page 2251-2265, July 2026.
Abstract Citizen science approaches in ecology have recently become increasingly popular. Although many advantages, such as the cost‐effective collection of vast amounts of data, outweigh the disadvantages, most projects face difficulties, such as non‐random sampling, pseudo‐absences or various biases, such as detection/reporting biases or participant ...

The recreational value of birding and crane abundance

Agricultural and Resource Economics Review
We estimate the economic value of birding, which is an important ecosystem service produced by bird populations in recreation areas. Our research identifies the link between values and species richness as well as the abundance of the sandhill crane (Grus

Climate change drives range contraction and shapes species distribution in an alpine passerine: Caution required when comparing atlas data

Global Ecology and Conservation
The White-winged Snowfinch (Montifringilla nivalis), a specialist in alpine habitats, is highly vulnerable to climate change due to its reliance on high-elevation environments, which are experiencing accelerated warming, alterations in snow dynamics, and

Macroecological Analysis of Bird Migration Routes in North America Using eBird Data: Beta Diversity Perspective

Diversity
Bird migration routes across North America, which are often speculated upon at the microscale, are now subject to scrutiny using the ‘eBird’ database, the world’s largest data repository for the North American continent.

Evaluating approaches for integrating species distributions in spatial conservation planning

Conservation Science and Practice
Map‐based decision support tools (DSTs) that use species distributions are an important means of identifying priority areas for conservation. The Wisconsin Waterfowl Habitat Conservation Strategy (WWHCS) uses a DST to identify priority ecological ...

Color aberration in malachite kingfishers: Insights from community science observations in Queen Elizabeth National Park, Uganda

Ecology and Evolution
Color aberrations in birds corresponds with important ecological functions, including thermoregulation and physiological impacts, camouflage and increased predation, and social interactions with conspecifics. Color aberrations in birds have been reported

Geography of race and income shape spatial data gaps in two national participatory science projects

People and Nature
Context and Need: Participatory projects where people contribute geo‐referenced biodiversity data, like eBird and iNaturalist, are commonly used tools to enhance the data collection capacity for research, management, and environmental learning.
