Graphical Abstract

Caption

Sequence of data collection and analysis with the study hypotheses. Initially, species' geographic coordinates were obtained, and each coordinate was categorized as either citizen scientist or researcher data based on the database. Subsequently, an environmental envelope was generated based on 19 bioclimatic variables. The envelopes were overlaid, and the percentage of the researcher's envelope overlapped with the citizen scientist's envelope was determined. A linear regression was performed, where it is expected that species with larger body sizes, closed habitat types, and nonthreatened statuses would exhibit greater similarity in the environmental envelopes determined by researchers and citizen scientists.
