COVID-19 大流行可能影响了世界各地的自然系统；人类活动的减少也影响了确定这一流行病对自然系统的间接影响所需的数据收集。我们描述了 COVID-19 疾病的爆发以及四个政治区域的相关居家令如何影响了一项基于志愿者的鸟类监测项目 eBird 的参与者收集的数据的数量和质量。选择这四个区域不仅是因为它们对人类活动进行了早期和长期的强制性改变，而且还因为收集到的观测数据密度很高。我们将 2020 年 4 月与往年 4 月进行了比较。最显着的变化是进行观测的景观：在 2020 年 4 月的数据中，除一个区域外，所有地区以人类为主的景观都更为常见，而在稀有湿地栖息地附近进行的观测则不太常见。我们还发现收集的数据数量以及观察期内观察者的努力发生了微妙的变化。最后，我们发现 COVID-19 疾病的这些影响在不同政治单位之间有所不同，因此我们得出的结论是，对 eBird 数据的任何分析都需要针对特定地区进行检查，以检查在 COVID-19 大流行期间数据收集过程是否发生了任何需要考虑的变化。
The COVID-19 pandemic has likely affected natural systems around the world; the curtailment of human activity has also affected the collection of data needed to identify the indirect effects of this pandemic on natural systems. We describe how the outbreak of COVID-19 disease, and associated stay-at-home orders in four political regions, have affected the quantity and quality of data collected by participants in one volunteer-based bird monitoring project, eBird. The four regions were selected both for their early and prolonged periods of mandated changes to human activity, and because of the high densities of observations collected. We compared the months of April 2020 with April in previous years. The most notable change was in the landscapes in which observations were made: in all but one region human-dominated landscapes were proportionally more common in the data in April 2020, and observations made near the rarer wetland habitat were less prevalent. We also found subtler changes in quantity of data collected, as well as in observer effort within observation periods. Finally, we found that these effects of COVID-19 disease varied across the political units, and thus we conclude that any analyses of eBird data will require region-specific examination of whether there have been any changes to the data collection process during the COVID-19 pandemic that would need to be taken into account.
