热带生态系统中脊椎动物种群的变化通常被认为是在大的空间和时间尺度上发生的。要了解这些动态并在受到狩猎和土地使用变化影响时制定管理对策，就需要在大的空间尺度上进行研究和监测。这种规模的数据收集只能通过当地居民非科学家的参与才能完成。为了评估在这种条件下进行严格的、科学有效的数据收集的可行性，我们描述了一项为期三年的研究的设计和管理，该研究探讨了亚马孙流域一个48，000平方公里、主要是土著地区的社会经济因素、狩猎行为和野生动物种群动态之间的关系。研究中的所有数据都是由当地征聘和培训的土著技术人员收集的。我们描述了适应这些技术人员的文化影响的数据收集实践的数据收集和验证系统，并提出协议和改进我们的方法，以指导未来的大规模研究和监测项目。
Changes in vertebrate populations in tropical ecosystems are often understood to occur at large spatial and temporal scales. Understanding these dynamics and developing management responses when they are affected by hunting and land-use change require research and monitoring at large spatial scales. Data collection at such scales can be accomplished only through the participation of locally resident nonscientists. To assess the feasibility of rigorous, scientifically valid data collection under such conditions, we describe the design and management of a three-year study of the relationships among socioeconomic factors, hunting behavior, and wildlife population dynamics in a 48,000-square-kilometer, predominantly indigenous region of Amazonia. All of the data in the study were collected by locally recruited and trained indigenous technicians. We describe data collection and verification systems adapted to the culturally influenced data-collection practices of these technicians and propose protocols and improvements on our methodology to guide future large-scale research-and-monitoring projects.
