Opening a can of worms: Can the availability of soil invertebrates be indicated by birds?
Author: Martay, B. & Pearce-Higgins, J.W.
Published: 2020
Earthworms are vital for soil health, but concerns are being expressed about declines in their populations. Newly published BTO research shows how counting some of our best known birds can reveal important information about the number of earthworms beneath our feet.

Estimating species distributions from spatially biased citizen science data
Author: Johnston, A., Moran, N., Musgrove, A., Fink, D. & Baillie, S.R.
Published: 2020
Birdwatchers travel further to sites with rarer species, creating spatial bias.For 138 bird species we ran occupancy models for spatially biased and unbiased data.On average, occupancy estimates from spatially biased and unbiased data were aligned.We added weights to occupancy models, describing the probability of sampling.In areas with low sampling density, weights improved accuracy, but not precision.
