Abstract In the face of global biodiversity crisis, collecting comprehensive data and making best use existing are becoming increasingly important to understand patterns drivers environmental biological phenomena at different scales. Here we address concept secondary data, which refers additional information unintentionally captured in species records, especially multimedia‐based citizen science reports. We argue that can provide a wealth ecologically relevant information, utilisation...
Abstract Citizen science ( CS ) has evolved over the past decades as a working method involving interested citizens in scientific research, for example by reporting observations, taking measurements or analysing data. In past, research on animal behaviour been benefitting from contributions of citizen scientists mainly field ornithology but full potential ecological and behavioural sciences is surely still untapped. Here, we present case studies that successfully applied to projects wildlife...

Biological invasions are not only events with substantial environmental and socioeconomic impacts but also interesting natural experiments, allowing the study of phenomena such as cultural evolution bird song following introduction. We took an excellent opportunity to compare distribution dialects yellowhammer Emberiza citrinella , a small Eurasian passerine, in its native source region (Great Britain) invaded range (New Zealand) more than hundred years after relocation. Recent field...
Abstract The vast volume of currently available unstructured text data, such as research papers, news, and technical report shows great potential for ecological research. However, manual processing data is labour-intensive, posing a significant challenge. In this study, we aimed to assess the application three state-of-the-art prompt-based large language models (LLMs), GPT 3.5, 4, LLaMA-2-70B, automate identification, interpretation, extraction, structuring relevant information from textual...

Biological invasions are a major threat to biodiversity, ecosystem functioning and nature's contributions people worldwide. However, the effectiveness of invasive alien species (IAS) management measures progress toward achieving biodiversity targets remain uncertain due limited nonuniform data availability. Management success is usually assessed at local level documented in technical reports, often written languages other than English, which makes such notoriously difficult collect large...
Common altmetrics indices are limited and biased in the social media that they cover. In this Perspective, we highlight how why should broaden its scope to provide more reliable metrics for scientific content communication.
The InsectAI COST action will support insect monitoring and conservation at the national continental scale in order to understand counteract widespread declines. Action bring together a critical mass of researchers stakeholders image-based AI technologies direct drive research agenda, build capacity across Europe innovation application. There is mounting evidence that populations insects around world are sharp decline. Understanding trends species their drivers key knowing size challenge,...
Song dialects, as a special case of geographical variation in vocalization, are useful tools the study number topics ranging from cultural evolution to emergence reproductive barriers, and thus continue be focus many bird‐song studies. The Yellowhammer Emberiza citrinella is common Palaearctic bird with long breeding season song period, whose distinctive exhibits clearly distinguishable dialects differing composition final phrase. species therefore particularly suitable for large‐scale...
New Zealand harbours a considerable number of alien plants and animals, is often used as model region for studies on factors determining the outcome introductions. Alien birds have been particular focus research attention, especially to understand effect propagule pressure, records exist numbers introduced Zealand. However, relied compilations bird numbers, rather than primary data. Here, we present case study yellowhammer (Emberiza citrinella) from UK Zealand, demonstrate how recourse...
Abstract Invasive alien species are a major threat to biodiversity and human activities, providing strong incentive understand the processes by which invasion occurs. While it is important determinants of success at each several stages—transport, introduction, establishment, spread—few studies have explored first these stages. Here, we quantify analyze variation in individual animals surviving transport stage, based on shipping records European passerines destined for New Zealand. We mined...
Tissue samples are frequently collected to study various aspects of avian biology, but in many cases these not used their entirety and stored by the collector. The already provide a largely overlooked opportunity because they can be different researchers biological fields. Broad reuse could result multispecies or large‐scale studies, interdisciplinary collaborations, generation new ideas, thereby increasing quality impact research. Sample also reduce number needed for study, which is...
The expansion of human settlements over the past few centuries is responsible for an unprecedented number invasive species introductions globally. An important component biological invasion management understanding how introduction history and postintroduction processes have jointly shaped present-day distributions patterns population structure, diversity adaptation. One example a successful invader European starling (Sturnus vulgaris), which was intentionally introduced to numerous...

Dialects are a specific form of geographic variation birdsong with relatively sharp boundaries between distinct song characteristics, which provide opportunities for focused studies processes underlying the emergence spatial patterns in vocalization. Several songbird species that exhibit dialects became models such research, and some them large-scale datasets were assembled included recordings provided by public. Among them, Yellowhammer (Emberiza citrinella, Emberizidae) is particularly...
