Currently, citizen science is becoming an important contributor of information on the biodiversity of urban areas. This study presents novel records of native Andean killifish (Orestias spp.) in the MRDLP obtained from the iNaturalist website, expanding its distribution and highlighting the important role of citizen participation as a tool to expand biodiversity knowledge and monitoring of ecosystems sensitive to climate change.enCitizen scienceMetropolitan areaKillifishBiodiversityGeographyHabitatClimate changeEnvironmental planningEnvironmental resource managementEcologyarticle
