Harvesting geo-spatial data on coastal fish assemblages through coordinated citizen science

Citizen Science System Assemblages: Toward Greater Understanding of Technologies to Support Crowdsourced Science

We explore the nature of technologies to support citizen science, a method of inquiry that leverages the power of crowds to collect and analyze scientific data. We evaluate these technologies as system assemblages, collections of interrelated functionalities that support specific activities in pursuit of overall project goals. The notion of system assemblages helps us to explain how different c...

Negative Calibration for Citizen Science Crater Data

Spatial and temporal variation of fish assemblages in a coastal lagoon of the Biosphere Reserve La Encrucijada, Chiapas, Mexico.

Composition and abundance of the ichthyofauna in estuarine and coastal lagoon systems of the South Pacific in Mexico have been scarcely studied. In particular, there is a lack of information on how environmental variables determine the spatio-temporal structure of fish assemblages in those habitats. In this study, fishes were sampled by drop net during twelve months (May 2004 - April 2005) in 2...

Geo-Spatial Big Data Analysis: An Overview

Advance increasing interest in large-scale, highresolution, real-time geographic information system (GIS) applications and spatial big data processing, traditional GIS are not efficient enough to handle due to limited computational capabilities. Geospatial analytics in big data needed new approaches that are flexible, non-parametric and should be able for dynamic modeling with non-linear proces...

Spatial and temporal characterization of fish assemblages in a tropical coastal system influenced by freshwater inputs: northwestern Yucatan Peninsula.

Coastal lagoons are important systems for freshwater, estuarine and marine organisms; they are considered important zones of reproduction, nursery and feeding for many fish species. The present study investigates the fish assemblages of the natural reserve of Dzilam and their relationship with the hydrologic variables. A total of 6 474 individuals (81 species) were collected, contributing with ...
