Challenge
When do citizens actually record biodiversity — weekends, holidays, good weather — and how might that bias what science sees?
- Where to start
- Unzip the data table. Aggregate records by day-of-week, month and hour; look for the non-random peaks.
- What to share
- Temporal-pattern plots and a short note on the sampling bias they imply.
