1. The role of community science in DNA-based biodiversity monitoringCarolina Corrales, Karolina Bacela-Spychalska, Elena Bužan, Torbjørn Ekrem, Sónia Ferreira, William Goodall-Copestake, Elaine van Ommen Kloeke, Peter M. Hollingsworth, Sarah J. Bourlat, 2025, izvirni znanstveni članek Opis: 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.
