- A review of citizen science and community-based environmental monitoring: issues and opportunities (2011, background): “1997), and some have found through validation and calibration that volunteers collect data comparable to professional researchers (with limitations) (Newman et al. 2003; Foster-Smith and Evans 2003; Fore et al. 2001).”
- Data reliability in citizen science: learning curve and the effects of training method, volunteer background and experience on identification accuracy of insects visiting ivy flowers (2016, background): “…by studies on a range of organisms, including fish (Leslie, Velez & Bonar 2004), corals (Mumby et al. 1995), crabs (Delaney et al. 2008), marine (Foster-Smith & Evans 2003) and freshwater invertebrates (Fore, Paulsen & O’Laughlin 2001; Engel & Voshell 2002), amphibians (Genet & Sargent 2003),…”
- The cryptogenic parasite Haplosporidium pinnae invades the Aegean Sea and causes the collapse of Pinna nobilis populations (2019, background): “…procedures in a systematic manner that can be easily validated, citizen scientists can be a vital asset in all steps of the MME-response process; from the initial detection of the problem to the participation in mitigation and monitoring actions (Foster-Smith and Evans 2003; Cerrano et al. 2017).”
- Using historical data to detect temporal changes in the abundances of intertidal species on Irish shores (2005, background): “However, because each species is assessed in a subjectively chosen area of shore, the ‘zone of most abundance’ (Southward & Crisp, 1954) results can vary among operators (Baker et al., 1981; Foster-Smith & Evans, 2003).”
