Statistics for citizen science: extracting signals of change from noisy ecological data
TL;DR: A set of candidate methods that employ data filtering criteria and/or correction factors to deal with variation in recorder activity are identified and a computer simulation is designed to compare the statistical properties of these methods under a suite of realistic data collection scenarios.
Journal ArticleDOI
Declining resilience of ecosystem functions under biodiversity loss
TL;DR: Trends in the frequency of species in Great Britain that provide key ecosystem functions—specifically decomposition, carbon sequestration, pollination, pest control and cultural values are analyzed.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors use the term "citizen science" to describe the diverse approaches that involve people in monitoring in a voluntary capacity, thus including participatory monitoring in which people work collaboratively with scientists in developing monitoring.
Journal ArticleDOI
Emerging technologies for biological recording
TL;DR: Current and emerging technologies that are changing the way the authors study and record the natural world are reviewed, including how will the role of the expert naturalist change and how is technology leading to the empowerment of the public.
