Bias and complementarity in species occurrence data from citizen science, museum, and social media collections

2026-08-03

Abstract excerpt

Effective biodiversity policy and spatial planning depend on species occurrence data. Yet data that informs conservation decisions typically originate from heterogeneous sources that potentially introduce systematic biases that shape downstream ecological inference and policy outcomes. To explore these potential biases, we analysed reptile location data from Bangladesh and India – a mega-diverse region encompassin...
