Using geolocator tracking data and ringing archives to validate citizen-science based seasonal predictions of bird distribution in a data-poor region
Unstructured citizen-science data are increasingly used for analysing the abundance and distribution of species.Here we test the usefulness of such data to predict the seasonal distribution of migratory songbirds, and to analyse patterns of migratory connectivity.We used bird occurrence data from eBird, one of the largest global citizen science dat
