20.500.12556/RUP-21903 The role of community science in DNA-based biodiversity monitoring The mutual interest in nature by the general public and scientists has led to many collaborations, past and present. Community science shows great potential for monitoring species occurrences and distributions, especially in combination with scalable and (semi)-automated methods such as DNA-based monitoring, helping to obtain data from a broader geographic and temporal range than would be possible by the scientific community alone. Here, we present an overview of the complementarity between community science and DNA-based biomonitoring through examples from ongoing projects. The involvement of hobby experts is particularly crucial for building up the necessary species reference databases that enable DNA-based monitoring. Based on this overview, we identify some key points related to learning opportunities and participant recognition to maximise the success, impact and benefit of community participants in DNA-based monitoring. eDNA community science genetics okoljska DNA občanska znanost genetika true false true Angleški jezik Slovenski jezik Članek v reviji 2025-10-13 08:56:17 2025-10-13 08:56:19 2025-11-05 03:03:16 0000-00-00 00:00:00 2025 0 0 str. 1-14 iss. 19ǂ, [article no.] e70100 Vol. 34 Oct. 2025 0000-00-00 NiDoloceno NiDoloceno NiDoloceno 0000-00-00 0000-00-00 2025-09-09 575 1365-294X 10.1111/mec.70100 252837891 RAZ_Corrales_Carolina_2025.pdf RAZ_Corrales_Carolina_2025.pdf 1 7ED4D094B9F3ABB927C7E68FD504234B 18d824479af65beefdd69a24bf766fcd58af9aa31618ffbb8f4511fcfaa98567 03210b6b-a802-11f0-8f0b-005056ac49c0 https://repozitorij.upr.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=31817 https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/mec.70100 1 e1ac9ee6-a801-11f0-8f0b-005056ac49c0 https://repozitorij.upr.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=31816 Fakulteta za matematiko, naravoslovje in informacijske tehnologije 0 0 0
