Abstract

In the last chapter we showed that a greater openness to the observations of nonscientists is unveiling valuable new data sources and even accidental ecological knowledge. In this chapter we focus on the more formalized types of observational data that ecologists have been taking for well over a century in the form of museum collections, historical data, long-term monitoring schemes, and more recently, networks of ecological observers. How ecologists plan to collect these data, how the collections or observations are maintained and stored over long time periods, and how they are analyzed all ultimately affect the strength of the conclusions we can draw from them.
