Abstract: Invasive species pose a significant threat to native flora and fauna. In North America, nest site competition from invasive cavity-nesting birds can limit the opportunities for successful nesting by native birds. Managing invasive species is costly and complex, requiring input from biologists, decision makers, and the public. An informed and engaged public can play an important role in mitigating the negative effects of invasive avian species. However, little is known regarding the publics’ knowledge, attitudes, and behaviors toward non-native bird species. We examined the association between participating in a citizen science project and enjoyment, knowledge, and management of two non-native avian species in North America: European starlings (Sturnus vulgaris) and house sparrows (Passer domesticus). We administered a pre and post survey to 947 people who monitor nest boxes in the United States and Canada, 30% of whom were also reporting their observations to NestWatch, a citizen science project focused on nesting birds. We found that NestWatch participants were more likely to have negative views of non-native species, score higher on bird identification tasks, and manage for invasive species than non-participants. The most important predictor for undertaking management activities was respondents' perceptions of whether they believed non-native birds to be a problem at the continental scale. Our study highlights the important role citizen science may play in shaping attitudes and behaviors and increasing knowledge, as well as the importance of people’s observations and perceptions of threats to engage in actions that can potentially support native bird populations.

Simulation results for each model in the ensemble, summarized by HUC12 subwatershed for flow (Q), total phosphorus (TP), dissolved reactive phosphorus (DRP), total nitrogen (TN), and total suspended solids (TSS).

Research data #1 file contains rainfall measurements at an AWS site and 25 rain gauges during 12 rainfall events to identify representativeness of the AWS measurement for its catchment. Research data #2 file shows comparison between rainfall measurements and radar-rainfall estimates. Research data #3 file includes four simulated results for flow rates at outlets of a tributary and entire watershed using ground rainfall measurements and radar-rainfall estimates as meteorological input data.
