However, the ability to correctly identify organisms visually is rarely questioned. We investigated how experts and non-experts compared in the identification of bumblebees, a group of insects of considerable conservation concern. Experts and non-experts were asked whether two concurrent bumblebee images depicted the same or two different species. Overall accuracy was below 60% and comparable for experts and non-experts. However, experts were more consistent in their answers when the same images were repeated, and more cautious in committing to a definitive answer. Our findings demonstrate the difficulty of correctly identifying bumblebees using images from field guides. Such error rates need to be accounted for when interpreting species data, whether or not they have been collected by experts. We suggest that investigation of how experts and non-experts make observations should be incorporated into study design, and could be used to improve training in species identification. 2021-07-28 dataset Species identification by experts and non-experts: comparing images from field guides publication 10.1038/srep33634 DOI https://kar.kent.ac.uk/57336/ http://dx.doi.org/10.1038/srep33634 IsSupplementTo pub 2023-08-08 TRUE 2023-08-08 2021-02-16 13100 School of Anthropology and Conservation 2021-02-16 13100/1 Biodiversity Conservation Group 2021-02-16 13100/2 Biodiversity Management Group 2021-02-16 13100/7 DICE (Durrell Institute of Conservation and Ecology) 2021-02-16 13600 School of Psychology 2022-04-14 15100 0 ??? 15100 ??? 2022-04-14 15110 1 ??? 15110 ??? 2022-04-14 15400 2 ??? 15400 ??? 2025-06-03 15100 School of Anthropology and Conservation 2025-06-03 15110 DICE (Durrell Institute of Conservation and Ecology) 2025-06-03 15400 School of Psychology English 2016 Scientific Reports 10.22024/UniKent/01.01.191
