We envisage a future research environment where digital data on species interactions are easily accessible and comprehensively cover all species, life stages and habitats. To achieve this goal, we need data from many sources, including the largely untapped potential of citizen science for mobilising and utilising existing information on species interactions. Traditionally volunteers contributing information on the occurrence of species have focused on single-species observations from within one target taxon. We make recommendations on how to improve the gathering of species interaction data through citizen science, which data should be collected and how it can be motivated. These recommendations include providing feedback in the form of network visualisations, leveraging a wide variety of other data sources and eliciting an emotional connection to the species in question. There are many uses for these data, but in the context of biological invasions, information on species interactions will increase understanding of the effects of invasive alien species on recipient communities and ecosystems. We believe that the inclusion of ecological networks as a concept within citizen science, not only for initiatives focussed on biological invasions but also across other ecological themes, will not only enrich scientific knowledge on species interactions but also deepen the experience and enjoyment of citizens themselves.

物种相互作用:下一级公民科学

我们设想了一个未来的研究环境,在这个环境中,可以轻松获取关于物种相互作用的数字数据,并全面涵盖所有物种、生命阶段和栖息地。为实现这一目标,我们需要来自许多来源的数据,包括公民科学在动员和利用现有物种相互作用信息方面尚未开发的潜力。传统上,提供物种出现信息的志愿者主要集中在一个目标分类群内的单一物种观察上。我们就如何通过公民科学改进物种相互作用数据的收集、应收集哪些数据以及如何激发这些数据提出建议。这些建议包括以网络可视化的形式提供反馈,利用各种其他数据源并引发与相关物种的情感联系。这些数据有很多用途,但在生物入侵的背景下,物种相互作用的信息将增加对外来入侵物种对接收群落和生态系统影响的理解。我们相信,将生态网络作为公民科学的一个概念纳入公民科学,不仅针对生物入侵的倡议,而且跨越其他生态主题,不仅会丰富物种相互作用的科学知识,还会加深公民自身的体验和享受。关于物种相互作用的信息将增进对外来入侵物种对接收社区和生态系统影响的了解。我们相信,将生态网络作为公民科学的一个概念纳入公民科学,不仅针对生物入侵的倡议,而且跨越其他生态主题,不仅会丰富物种相互作用的科学知识,还会加深公民自身的体验和享受。关于物种相互作用的信息将增进对外来入侵物种对接收社区和生态系统影响的了解。我们相信,将生态网络作为公民科学的一个概念纳入公民科学,不仅针对生物入侵的倡议,而且跨越其他生态主题,不仅会丰富物种相互作用的科学知识,还会加深公民自身的体验和享受。
