Citizen Science as a Tool for Augmenting Museum Collection Data from Urban Areas (2017, background): “Citizen science has already proven effective at detecting and studying invasive species (Delaney et al., 2008; Crall et al., 2010, 2011; Gallo and Waitt, 2011).”
Assessing data quality in citizen science (preprint) (2016, background): “Modeling characteristics that vary among volunteers such as age, previous experience, formal education, attitudes, and training methods may increase data reliability, although the magnitude of the effect may be project- or taskdependent (Galloway et al. 2006; Delaney et al. 2008; Crall et al. 2011).”
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): “Previous studies showed that volunteers can identify large organisms, such as trees (Bloniarz & Ryan 1996), crabs (Delaney et al. 2008) and corals (Mumby et al.”
Citizen science detects the undetected: the case of Abudefduf saxatilis from the Mediterranean Sea (2013, background): “Indeed members of local communities, because of their broad geographic distribution and familiarity with natural environment, can be of great help to track invasive species in both terrestrial and aquatic systems (Delaney et al. 2008).”
Biological invasions in developing and developed countries: does one model fit all? (2010, background): “Most developed countries have conservation groups that can help to promote awareness and control invasive species, and are capable of providing large number of volunteers for conservation projects (Brandon et al. 2003; Delaney et al. 2008; Leslie et al. 2004).”
Evaluation on crowdsourcing research: Current status and future direction (2012, background): “First, some organizations check the volunteer data by experts in some cases (Delaney 2008; Galloway et al. 2006) and may work out an evaluation framework based on their own conditions and some experience from other fields, such as the quality control framework in Wikipedia.”
Managing Multiple Vectors for Marine Invasions in an Increasingly Connected World (2013, background): “Rapid assessments, or bioblitzes, in which the number of newly introduced and established NIS is quantified at a single field location over a short time interval (e.g., days), are common (Delaney et al. 2008).”
Improving and integrating data on invasive species collected by citizen scientists (2010, background): “The monitoring protocols themselves should be standardized whenever possible by distributing designs created by professionals experienced in statistical ecology and already field-tested using citizen scientists working under realistic conditions (Delaney et al. 2008).”
Creating a Successful Citizen Science Model to Detect and Report Invasive Species (2011, background): “…which would result in new scientific understanding and personal perceptions of species, habitat, and conservation; and to raise awareness on the local level about invasive species, which may translate back into tangible participation by citizens (Brewer 2002, Evans et al. 2005, Braschler 2009).”
Invasion biology of the Asian shore crab Hemigrapsus sanguineus: A review (2013, unknown): “The species has continued to spread slowly since that time, and individuals have been collected as far north as the Schoodic Peninsula in Maine (Delaney and Sperling, 2008).”
