Behind the lenses: Biases in the contribution of wildlife photography to biodiversity representation by Héctor Ruiz‐Villar, Ana Morales‐González, Jon Morant

“…Our results showed that the jury's choice offered a more diverse representation of biodiversity than the people's choice, and the winning photographs showcased fewer taxonomic groups than the non‐winning pictures. Realm, domain and colourfulness influenced the probability of an organism's picture being winner, but the variability explained by our model reflects that there are a large number of unexplored determinants (e.g. socio‐economical, technical or emotional). …”
