From Local Observations to Global Impact: Leveraging Participatory Science for Biodiversity Research
Presented by: Corey Callaghan (Fort Lauderdale Research And Education Center, University of Florida, Davie, Florida, USA)
Participatory citizen science initiatives like eBird and iNaturalist are generating upwards of hundreds of thousands of observations per day. But how can these data inform biodiversity research? In this talk I’ll look at how citizen science data are being used to aid our understanding of biodiversity, broadly, ranging from applied research questions to a better understanding of ecological principles, with a focus on how these data can be used now and in the future. I’ll also discuss the necessity to think about these data, and the processes by which they are generated, from an interdisciplinary perspective.
