[edit] Abstract

Large-scale coordinated projects enable much more detailed insights into the patterns and processes of bird life than single-site studies can achieve. However, the success of such networks relies on the adoption of standardised common methods and protocols as well as on training and calibration to secure comparable measurements. This paper describes several already existing large-scale networks in the study of birds in Europe, devoting particular attention to the recent migration network supported by the European Science Foundation. Owing to the presence of many skilled volunteers, there is an enormous potential for a number of large-scale networks in Europe.
