The Backbone of Participatory Science: Reframing Citizen Observatories as Research Infrastructures
Citizen observatories (COs) have emerged as essential research infrastructures for participatory science, supporting data collection and community engagement. They enable communities to monitor their environments, actively track indicators aligned with the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), and contribute valuable data to scientific research and evidence-based, informed policy-making.

Systematic revision of the speciose sea slug genus Doto (Heterobranchia: Nudibranchia) – from the Mediterranean to South America
The genus Doto Oken, 1815 is, taxonomically, one of the most complex genera of nudibranchs due to the cryptic nature of its species, their small body size, and the homogeneity among their internal and external features.

A new theoretical engagement framework for citizen science projects: using a multi-temporal approach to address long-term public engagement challenges
Effective citizen engagement is generally accepted as one of the most important steps for the success of citizen science programs. However, there is a lack of a common theoretical framework for recruitment and most projects rely on intuition or trial-and-error to develop their engagement strategies.

Challenges for Marine Ecological Assessments: Completeness of Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, and Reusable Biodiversity Data in European Seas
The ongoing contemporary biodiversity crisis may result in much of ocean’s biodiversity to be lost or deeply modified without even being known. As the climate and anthropogenic-related impacts on marine systems accelerate, biodiversity knowledge integration is urgently required to evaluate and monitor marine ecosystems and to support suitable responses to underpin a sustainable future.
