Using citizen science data to identify the sensitivity of species to human land use.
Conservation practitioners must contend with an increasing array of threats that affect biodiversity. Citizen scientists can provide timely and expansive information for addressing these threats across large scales, but their data may contain sampling biases. We used randomization procedures to account for possible sampling biases in opportunistically reported citizen science data to identify s...
متن کاملAssessing citizen science data quality: an invasive species case study
An increase in the number of citizen science programs has prompted an examination of their ability to provide data of sufficient quality. We tested the ability of volunteers relative to professionals in identifying invasive plant species, mapping their distributions, and estimating their abundance within plots. We generally found that volunteers perform almost as well as professionals in some a...
متن کاملCoexecutability: How To Automatically Verify Loops
Verification of web applications is a very important problem, and verifying loops is necessary to achieve that goal. However, loop verification is a long studied and very difficult problem. We find that interdependence of iterations is a major cause of this difficulty. We present coexecution a way to model a loop that avoids the problem of iteration interdependence. We introduce the coexecutabi...

متن کاملUsing citizen science to monitor pollination services
1. Pollination by insects is a vital ecosystem service and the need for its assessment is increasing in recognition and political pressure, but there are currently no large-scale systematic monitoring schemes in place to measure the direct provision of this service. 2. This study tested a protocol for using a citizen science approach to quantify pollination service provision in gardens and allo...
