What Is Citizen Science? – A Scientometric Meta-Analysis
Context The concept of citizen science (CS) is currently referred to by many actors inside and outside science and research. Several descriptions of this purportedly new... -
An analysis and metric of reusable data licensing practices for biomedical re...
Data are the foundation of science, and there is an increasing focus on how data can be reused and enhanced to drive scientific discoveries. However, most seemingly “open data”... -
Utility of citizen science data: A case study in land-based shark fishing
Involving citizen scientists in research has become increasingly popular in natural resource management and allows for an increased research effort at low cost, distribution of... -
Identifying animal taxa used to manufacture bone tools during the Middle Ston...
This paper presents the histological characterisation of a selection of worked bone artefacts from Middle Stone Age layers at Sibudu cave, South Africa. Histographic rendering... -
Comparison of two bovine serum pregnancy tests in detection of artificial ins...
Blood tests for early detection of pregnancy in cattle based on pregnancy-associated glycoproteins (PAGs) are commercially available. The objective of these studies were to... -
Predicting the distribution of poorly-documented species, Northern black wido...
Predicting species distributions requires substantial numbers of georeferenced occurrences and access to remotely sensed climate and land cover data. Reliable estimates of the... -
Follow-up ecological studies for cryptic species discoveries: Decrypting the ...
Cryptic species are a challenge for systematics, but their elucidation also may leave critical information gaps about the distribution, conservation status, and behavior of... -
On the impact of Citizen Science-derived data quality on deep learning based ...
The evaluation of large amounts of digital image data is of growing importance for biology, including for the exploration and monitoring of marine habitats. However, only a tiny... -
Using citizen science to describe the prevalence and distribution of tick bit...
Tick-borne pathogens are increasing their range and incidence in North America as a consequence of numerous factors including improvements in diagnostics and diagnosis, range... -
Social media as a data resource for #monkseal conservation.
The prevalence of social media platforms that share photos and videos could prove useful for wildlife research and conservation programs. When social media users post pictures... -
‘More than a feeling’: An empirical investigation of hedonistic accounts of a...
Many scientists studying animal welfare appear to hold a hedonistic concept of welfare -whereby welfare is ultimately reducible to an animal’s subjective experience. The... -
A case of silent invasion: Citizen science confirms the presence of Harmonia ...
Harmonia axyridis (Coleoptera, Coccinellidae) is a globally invasive ladybird. It has been intentionally introduced in many countries as a biological control agent, whereas it... -
Multifractal evidence of nonlinear interactions stabilizing posture for phasm...
: The present work is a reanalysis of prior work documenting postural sway in phasmids (i.e., "stick insects") [1]. The prior work pursued the possibility that postural sway was... -
Glucocorticoid measurement in plasma, urates, and feathers from California co...
: Vertebrates respond to stressful stimuli with the secretion of glucocorticoid (GC) hormones, such as corticosterone (CORT), and measurements of these hormones in wild species... -
The Value of Long-Term Stream Invertebrate Data Collected by Citizen Scientists
The purpose of this investigation was to systematically examine the variability associated with temporally-oriented invertebrate data collected by citizen scientists and... -
Primary pupils, science and a model bird species: Evidence for the efficacy o...
Beyond subject matter learning, primary science teaching aims at encouraging positive attitudes toward, and lasting interest in, science. This study tested whether the learning... -
