Community science as a potential tool to monitor animal demography and human-animal interactions by Laëtitia Maréchal, Raul Lobo, Fintan McAdam, Elizabeth Simpson, Josephine Woolston, Mae Stanley, Teresa Romero, Jenny C. Dunn

“…We provide new insights into using community science methods as potential alternatives to more time-consuming systematic methods. Community science methods may be useful across a range of systems where humans and wildlife interact, but we highlight the need for validation of the reliability of community scientist data, particularly self-reported behaviours, before being used to inform management and conservation practices.…”
