INTRODUCCIÓN
Diversidad e inclusión de grupos marginados
como elementos clave para miradas integrales
en la ciencia.
La ciencia es un campo más donde se
reproducen estructuras sociales: las mujeres
han estado marginadas e infrarrepresentadas
históricamente (López-Aguirre & Farías, 2022).
La perspectiva de género permite analizar en
profundidad los mecanismos que han
mantenido excluidas a las mujeres.
Se evidencia una brecha de género en
actividades de interés ornitológico (Moore, Scott
& Moore, 2008; Cooper & Smith, 2010).
Este análisis desde el género nos invita a
cuestionarnos: ¿Qué variables influyen?
¿Cómo disminuirlas?
OBJETIVO
Diagnosticar el nivel de participación en
instancias de interés ornitológico, considerando
fuentes de información secundarias, para evaluar
tendencias que nos permitan entender cómo el
género influye en esta participación.
MÉTODO
Adaptado desde Cooper and Smith 2010.

DISCUSIÓN Y CONCLUSION
Tendencia:
Evidencia de una brecha de
género en los datos levantados a
nivel local.
Tendencia similar a EEUU, UK,
Alemania.
Factores que confluyen:
socialización de género y
capital económico.
Experiencias internacional
presenta que proyectos liderados
por mujeres tienden a un mayor
componente interdisciplinario y a
perdurar en el tiempo.
REFLEXION ¿Qué podemos hacer para cambiar
esto? Promover espacios con
perspectiva de género, buscar
mecanismos para asegurar la
paridad en organizaciones y
visibilizar la participación
femenina para influir en otras.
Recomendaciones para seguir esta
investigación: registro sistemático
de participación según género.

Equity, diversity and inclusion (EDI) in the workforce are paramount for the betterment of the scientific endeavor. Colombia is a country with great scientific potential, but also multiple long-lasting socioeconomical difficulties. Here, we provide a quantitative analysis of the temporal trajectories of gender parity in scientific publishing in Colombia. Data was dissected based on education level, researcher's rank and research area, in order to elucidate differential patterns of scientific publishing. We controlled for gender-based differences in number of researchers by quantifying per capita scientific productivity. Our results show widespread gender disparity in scientific publishing persistent across time. Gender-based differences in per capita scientific publishing indicate that gender disparity persists even after controlling for differences in the number of researchers. Temporal trajectories revealed a decrease in women publishing in the medical sciences and a widening of the per capita publishing gender gap. Women senior researchers and women researchers with doctoral degrees had the lowest publishing participation within their group, suggesting access to postgraduate education or entering the workforce in themselves do not prevent women from being underrepresented. We highlight the need to understand the problem of underrepresentation in science and possible ways to address it beyond increasing the number of women researchers.

This article provides insight into how gender is related to indicators of recreation specialization and serious leisure among birdwatchers. Males were more likely than females to take birdwatching trips, report that they could identify more birds by sight and sound, and said that they possessed more birding-related equipment. Males and females, however, did not differ in their level of commitment and indicators used for measuring serious leisure. Both men and women were equally likely to report that birdwatching provided them durable benefits over time. Males were more likely to report that birdwatching allowed them to display their skills, whereas females ascribed greater importance to birdwatching as a form of personal enrichment, enjoyment, satisfaction, and recreation. Results led to the conclusion that male and female birdwatchers are equally serious about birdwatching, but display different styles of birdwatching. These different styles of involvement suggest that participation in birdwatching is gendered.

Recent studies show inter-related trends in both adult and youth populations in developed nations: a shift away from nature-based recreation, an overall decline in physical activity, and increasing obesity. For this study we examined gender patterns in a nature-based activity, observing wild birds, popular in two developed nations, the USA and UK. We collated data from several organizations and categorized data sources as representing activities that involve varying degrees of competitiveness and acting authoritatively. Patterns were consistent with the hypotheses that gender differences in preferred types of bird-related recreation reflected well documented gender-specific differences in preferences for competition and propensity to act authoritatively. Observing birds encompassed both a recreational hobby, "bird watching," that was female biased in the USA, and a competitive sport, "birding," that was heavily male biased among adults, but not youth, in both the USA and UK. Because of differences in gender participation in bird-related activities, fostering both competitive and noncompetitive bird-related activities is necessary to increase the likelihood of bringing larger segments of the population into nature-based recreation.

This study explored possible gender-based differences in birdwatching participation and commitment using a sample of North Carolina birding organization members. Within the theoretical contexts of recreational specialization and symbolic interactionism we examined whether male and female birdwatchers differed in objective measures of participation such as frequency of participation, birding skills, monetary investment, and years of participation. We then examined differences between men and women in their psychological commitment to birding and why they first decided to get involved in the activity. Findings indicated that men were significantly more involved in birding in terms of their objective behavior and skill level. They were also slightly more committed to birding than were the women, although these differences were less pronounced than for behavior and skill. Numerous differences in why men and women initially decided to become involved in the activity were also found. Implications for both future research and management are discussed.

Studying wildlife-oriented motivations is important for park design, citizen science projects, and avitourism. In previous work, motivations were modeled as social, achievement, and appreciation oriented components of wildlife-related motivations. The aims of this study were to test the components of this model with birdwatchers and to study any variation in motivations to participate in birdwatching in a European context. Data from birdwatchers were collected in German speaking countries and a total of 2,743 birdwatchers participated in this study (1,285 female, 1,446 male, 12 diverse). Exploratory factor analysis revealed a three-factor final solution with social, achievement, and enjoyment of nature factors as primary motivations, which supported the three-factor model of recreation motivations and can help to tailor programs, exhibitions, or guided tours according to birdwatcher motivations , and recruit people for conservation actions and citizen science programs.
