Dear colleagues, We are conducting a brief voluntary survey of the research community to examine how researchers use and perceive Generative AI (GenAI) tools in research practice and request your participation. The survey takes < 7 minutes to complete and has been approved by the Clemson University Institutional Review board (IRB2026-0127). Results from this study will provide a clearer picture of current practices and attitudes within our community and will be published and shared in aggregate form. Responses are completely anonymous. Researchers in ecology, evolutionary biology, or allied fields that are at least 18 years of age (any career stage) are eligible. Survey link: https://clemson.ca1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_0AIiyOikmB1l8G2 Your perspective is valuable regardless of whether you frequently use GenAI tools or have never used them. We would also greatly appreciate it if you could share this widely. If you have any questions, I would be happy to answer them. Thank you for your consideration!
