“…Biodiversity research on Chinese university campuses is relatively limited, with the available ones mainly focusing on plants and birds [14]. Surveys of butterfly diversity in ecosystems are now an important tool with which to facilitate urban green space planning [25], land resource management, and ecosystem restoration [26,27], as well as developing citizen science [28,29]. The Chenggong Campus of Yunnan University is located in the Chenggong District of Kunming, Yunnan Province, China-an area with megabiodiversity where the Kunming-Montreal Biodiversity Framework was agreed upon recently [30].…”

University campuses, as small and isolated areas of rapidly growing urban areas, can provide a unique opportunity for urban biodiversity research, conservation, education, and citizen science by monitoring assemblages of butterflies within their areas. We surveyed butterfly biodiversity in a rapidly developing urban area represented by the Chenggong Campus of Yunnan University in southwestern China using the Pollard walk method. In total, 3625 butterfly individuals belonging to 50 species, 35 genera, and six families were recorded in this survey. The results showed that the families Pieridae and Nymphalidae are the families with the highest species richness on the campus, and that the family Riodinidae contained the fewest species. Pieris rapae was the most common species, and seven species assessed by the IUCN Red List were recorded. Butterfly community structure varied across habitats and seasons on campus, and butterfly diversity was higher in spring and autumn than it was in summer and winter, as well as being higher in road habitats than in scenic habitats. Unavoidable urbanisation activities (construction, green space planning, etc.) may have influenced the composition and diversity of butterflies, and conserving urban butterfly diversity requires a balance between urban planning and habitat diversity. Finally, we encourage universities and research institutions to develop butterfly monitoring platforms for citizen scientists to participate in.

“…Al explorar el papel de los "Colegios Invisibles" en la investigación científica, este trabajo se propone arrojar datos sobre los mecanismos informales de transmisión de conocimiento y colaboración. Para ello, se examina cómo estos grupos contribuyen no solo a la acumulación de conocimiento científico, sino también a la construcción social de la ciencia, en tanto influyen en las normas, valores y direcciones que guían la investigación (Álvarez Contreras et al, 2023;Goyanes & de-Marcos, 2020;Hajibayova et al, 2021;Mora Pontiluis et al, 2023;Yonkers, 2020). Mediante el análisis de casos específicos y la revisión de literatura pertinente, se busca comprender las características, el funcionamiento y el impacto de estas redes ocultas en diferentes disciplinas y contextos.…”

This review article explores the concept of the invisible college and its fundamental role in the formation and evolution of scientific research. Through an exhaustive analysis of the most relevant literature identified, we examined how these informal networks of scientists and academics facilitate the exchange of information, knowledge, and resources and assess their significant influence on research trends and the dissemination of scientific knowledge. A study was conducted with a qualitative and critical approach, operationalized through a scoping review design. The mechanisms through which these networks foster interdisciplinary collaboration and promote innovations, the challenges and opportunities for scientific policy and research management were analyzed, and strategies were suggested to recognize and enhance their value in the global scientific ecosystem. Finally, future directions are proposed to investigate the impact of these hidden networks on science to improve the understanding of their role in advancing knowledge.

“…Esta recopilación de datos, obtenida a través de un monitoreo eficaz del ecosistema, tiene un alto grado de dependencia (Hajibayova et al 2021), sobre todo cuando la información recibida es óptima, permitiendo la toma de decisiones eficaces en beneficio de la ciudadanía. Dicha información, debe ser corroborada por los agentes sanitarios desde la fuente original, evitando de esta manera, datos incorrectos y desinformación, que pueden generar acciones inadecuadas cuando son compartidos en las redes sociales; fenómeno que se puede amplificar y magnificar en función a la noticia obtenida, en un sector tan sensible como es salud (Hua & Shaw, 2020).…”

La presente revisión sistemática tiene como objetivo analizar los principales factores que influyen en la integración de la comunidad al sistema digital de salud. La metodología utilizada consistió en la revisión de artículos de investigación sobre participación comunitaria y desarrollo digital en salud, a partir de las bases de datos Scopus y Scielo, entre 2017 a 2021. Se seleccionaron 25 artículos, considerando los criterios de cribado y elegibilidad a través del protocolo PRISMA para el análisis de las cuatro categorías de interés: aceptabilidad, viabilidad digital, uso de plataformas digitales y gobernanza en salud digital. De la revisión efectuada, resalta la necesidad del acceso a nuevas herramientas digitales, el desarrollo de mecanismos de autocontrol digital, la aplicación del concepto de ciencia ciudadana para el monitoreo del ecosistema digital y la aplicación del modelo de gobernanza móvil. Se concluye con la importancia de desarrollar plataformas digitales de fácil aplicación para la integración comunitaria, y el fortalecimiento del sistema de gobernanza aplicado en salud digital.
