Bioblitzes are a popular approach to engage people and collect biodiversity data. Despite this, few studies have actually evaluated the multiple outcomes of bioblitz activities. We used a systematic review, an analysis of data from more than 1000 bioblitzes, and a detailed analysis of one specific bioblitz to inform our inquiry. We evaluated five possible bioblitz outcomes, which were creating a species inventory, engaging people in biological recording, enhancing learning about nature, discovering a species new to an area, and promoting an organization. We conclude that bioblitzes are diverse but overall effective at their aims and have advantages over unstructured biodiversity recording. We demonstrate for the first time that bioblitzes increase the recording activity of the participants for several months after the event. In addition, we provide evidence that bioblitzes are effective at bringing people and organizations together to build communities of professionals and amateurs, critical for conserving and protecting biodiversity.
生物多样性速查是一种让人们参与并收集生物多样性数据的流行方法。尽管如此，很少有研究实际评估生物多样性速查活动的多重成果。我们采用了系统综述、对1000多次生物多样性速查数据的分析以及对一次特定生物多样性速查的详细分析来为我们的探究提供信息。我们评估了生物多样性速查的五种可能成果，即创建物种清单、让人们参与生物记录、增强对自然的了解、发现某地区新物种以及推广一个组织。我们得出结论，生物多样性速查形式多样，但总体上能实现其目标，并且比无组织的生物多样性记录具有优势。我们首次证明，生物多样性速查会在活动结束后的几个月内增加参与者的记录活动。此外，我们提供证据表明，生物多样性速查能有效地将人们和组织聚集在一起，建立专业人士和业余爱好者的社区，这对保护生物多样性至关重要。
