INTRODUCTION Citizen science for biodiversity monitoring has arrived (Chandler et al., 2017; Fontaine et al., 2022). Recent initiatives demonstrate that, collectively, citizen scientists are capturing unprecedented volumes of data (Figure 1) (Aristeidou et al., 2021; Perry et al., 2022; Peter et al., 2019; Unger et al., 2021). In many cases, citizen scientists are inspired to halt extinctions and protect threatened species (Soroye et al., 2022; Steven et al., 2019).
