  • Birds are not the only ones impacted by guidance to cease bird feeding

    Open AccessAshley A Dayer, P Christy Pototsky et al.ARTICLEPeople and Nature2024

    Humans have a particularly strong connection with birds, driving the enormous popularity of residential bird feeding in much of the world. We conducted a web search to document US state wildlife management agency responses to two recent avian disease outbreaks, finding that 23 agencies made recommendations to cease feeding wild birds in 2021–2022. The psychological benefits of bird feeding for humans are well‐documented but often overlooked in ma…

  • Nature and well‐being

    Open AccessTina B Phillips, Nancy M Wells et al.ARTICLEPeople and Nature2023

    Numerous studies have shown the positive association between nature engagement and well‐being. During the early phases of the SARS‐CoV‐2 pandemic, nature engagement changed dramatically as mental health and well‐being declined across the globe. This study examines how psychological connection to nature and engagement with nature in various forms is associated with well‐being during the SARS‐CoV‐2 pandemic. Specifically, we examine which types of …

  • Tapping birdwatchers to promote bird‐friendly coffee consumption and conserve birds

    Open AccessAlicia Williams, Ashley A Dayer et al.ARTICLEPeople and Nature2021

    Though coffee was traditionally grown as an understory crop beneath mature trees (i.e. ‘shade‐grown’ coffee), most farms have been converted to full‐sun monocultures over time, which fail to support ecosystem services or biodiversity. The conversion from shade‐ to sun‐grown coffee has prompted the development of environmentally focused certifications, such as Smithsonian Bird Friendly ® coffee, as one market‐based strategy to incentivize sustaina…

  • Engagement in science through citizen science

    Open AccessTina B Phillips, Heidi L Ballard et al.ARTICLEScience Education2019

    To date, most studies of citizen science engagement focus on quantifiable measures related to the contribution of data or other output measures. Few studies have attempted to qualitatively characterize citizen science engagement across multiple projects and from the perspective of the participants. Building on pertinent literature and sociocultural learning theories, this study operationalizes engagement in citizen science through an analysis of …

  • Observations at backyard bird feeders influence the emotions and actions of people that feed birds

    Open AccessAshley A Dayer, Connor Rosenblatt et al.ARTICLEPeople and Nature2019

    Backyard bird feeding is one of the most common ways people engage with wildlife in many parts of the world. Given its scale, it can have profound consequences for the ecology of feeder birds and their behaviour. While previous work has primarily explored socio‐demographic factors associated with bird feeding, how observations of nature at backyard feeders (e.g. changes in feeder bird abundance, interaction with natural enemies and weather) influ…

  • A Framework for Articulating and Measuring Individual Learning Outcomes from Participation in Citizen Science

    Open AccessTina Phillips, Tina B Phillips et al.ARTICLECitizen Science: Theory and…2018

    Since first being introduced in the mid 1990s, the term “citizen science”—the intentional engagement of the public in scientific research—has seen phenomenal growth as measured by the number of projects developed, people involved, and articles published. In addition to contributing to scientific knowledge, many citizen science projects attempt to achieve learning outcomes among their participants, however, little guidance is available for practit…

  • Citizen science can improve conservation science, natural resource management, and environmental protection

    Open AccessDuncan C McKinley, Abe J Miller-Rushing et al.ARTICLEBiological Conservation2017

  • Can citizen science enhance public understanding of science

    Open AccessRick Bonney, Tina B Phillips et al.ARTICLEPublic Understanding of Science2016

    Over the past 20 years, thousands of citizen science projects engaging millions of participants in collecting and/or processing data have sprung up around the world. Here we review documented outcomes from four categories of citizen science projects which are defined by the nature of the activities in which their participants engage – Data Collection, Data Processing, Curriculum-based, and Community Science. We find strong evidence that scientifi…

  • Next Steps for Citizen Science

    Open AccessRick Bonney, Jennifer L Shirk et al.ARTICLEScience2014

    Strategic investments and coordination are needed for citizen science to reach its full potential.

  • The eBird enterprise

  • The current state of citizen science as a tool for ecological research and public engagement

    Open AccessJanis L Dickinson, Jennifer Shirk et al.ARTICLEFrontiers in Ecology and the…2012

    Approaches to citizen science – an indispensable means of combining ecological research with environmental education and natural history observation – range from community‐based monitoring to the use of the internet to “crowd‐source” various scientific tasks, from data collection to discovery. With new tools and mechanisms for engaging learners, citizen science pushes the envelope of what ecologists can achieve, both in expanding the potential fo…

  • Citizen Science

    Rick Bonney, Caren B Cooper et al.ARTICLEBioScience2009

    Citizen science enlists the public in collecting large quantities of data across an array of habitats and locations over long spans of time. Citizen science projects have been remarkably successful in advancing scientific knowledge, and contributions from citizen scientists now provide a vast quantity of data about species occurrence and distribution around the world. Most citizen science projects also strive to help participants learn about the …
