Scientific contributions of citizen science applied to rare or threatened animals

open access: yesConservation Biology, Volume 36, Issue 6, December 2022., 2022
Abstract Citizen science is filling important monitoring gaps and thus contributing to the conservation of rare or threatened animals.

Grazing and climate interact to regulate greening trends in Mediterranean grasslands

open access: yesJournal of Applied Ecology, Volume 63, Issue 1, January 2026.
Our results show that traditional grazing systems can maintain grassland stability without causing degradation, but they can also increase the ecosystem's vulnerability to climate change. We provide clear evidence that GPS‐based livestock monitoring is a powerful and scalable tool for sustainable rangeland management.
