Podcast Ep. 270: Use the Bobscapes App to Record Bobwhite Quail Encounters and Help Biologists


37292772-ec85-4acc-8306-3f78a7c02584
Host Bob St.Pierre is joined by Quail Forever’s Dr. Jessica McGuire, University of Georgia’s Dr. James Martin, and Quail Forever Journal Editor Ryan Sparks for a conversation about the new “Bobscapes” mobile app. The group chats about citizen science, artificial intelligence, and using Bobscapes data to better understand bobwhite quail populations.
 
Episode Highlights:
  • Dr. Martin discusses the evolution of citizen science in wildlife research and also theorizes ways artificial intelligence may be used to help biologists in the future.
  • Jokingly referred to as a Bobscapes app “super user,” Sparks explains how easy the app is to use and how he enjoys putting it to work on his family’s Nebraska farm.
  • Learn more about Bobscapes and download the free app at Bobscapes.org.
