Opportunistic sightings
| Study Extent | Europe |
|---|---|
| Quality Control | Data quality is high, records are validated based on recorder credentials and expert review by mammal experts. Geolocation accuracy is likely to be high due to phone geolocation. Many records also have a photograph attached to aid verification. |
Method step description:
- Data is collected through a mobile application using the Indicia online recording system (http://www.indicia.org.uk/). Data is stored in the Indicia data warehouse, hosted by the Biological Records Centre. Data is verified by experienced mammal experts using the Indicia verification tools.
