Abstract

Actively involving citizens in research allows current challenges to be met in a more effective way and ideally in line with the expectations of the society. In the present study, we discuss challenges and solutions when involving volunteers in the data collection of behavioural patterns of three model avian species by using a digital application developed for ad hoc observations.
