Through a systematic literature review, we show that camera traps (CTs) have been underutilised for farmland biodiversity monitoring. The few existing farmland‐based CT studies focused on local‐level management issues, such as disease transmission between wildlife and livestock, crop damage and use of artificial feeders and water troughs by wildlife ...

Rthoptera: Standardised insect bioacoustics in R
Abstract Almost 100 years after the dawn of insect bioacoustics, freely available and robust analysis tools and protocols are still needed. We introduce Rthoptera, an open‐source R package designed for robust analysis of insect acoustic signals. It delivers accurate temporal and spectral measurements, along with intuitive visualisations, through a ...

Unexpected soundscape response to insecticide application in oak forests
Abstract Rachel Carson's warning of a silent spring directed attention to unwanted side effects of pesticide application. Though her work led to policies restricting insecticide use, various insecticides currently in use affect nontarget organisms and may contribute to population declines.

Abstract Accelerating rate of human impact and environmental change severely affects marine biodiversity and increases the urgency to implement the Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD) 30×30 plan for conserving 30% of sea areas by 2030. However, area‐based conservation targets are complex to identify in a 3‐dimensional (3D) ocean where deep‐sea ...

ON CHAINSAWS AND ACOUSTIC VIOLENCE: Sound and Deforestation in Ajusco‐Chichinautzin, Mexico
ABSTRACT This article explores distinct practices of sounding and listening that have emerged in a context of severe deforestation in Ajusco‐Chichinautzin, a region south of Mexico City. It applies the concept of acoustic violence to this setting, as part of wider attempts to build constructive responses to climate breakdown through sound and music ...

Abstract Bats are acknowledged as suppliers of essential ecosystem services such as insect pest control in agroecosystems. Little is known, however, on how bat assemblages respond to the gradients imposed by anthropogenic landscapes and farming practices and how these environmental effects translate into changes in bat foraging.

Abstract Payments for ecosystem services (PES) are widely applied incentive‐based instruments with diverse objectives that increasingly include biodiversity conservation. Yet, there is a gap in understanding of how to best assess and monitor programs’ biodiversity outcomes.

Parameter analysis of vibratory energy flow in a hermetic compressor by statistical energy analysis
This work deals with the problem of vibratory energy flow from the internal electrical motor-compressor assembly (kit) to the shell of a hermetic compressor. The theoretical model is based on Statistical Energy Analysis.

In this study, we expanded the principles of island biogeography to the field of ecoacoustics. We examined the relative importance of island size and isolation in predicting the spectro‐temporal richness of acoustic traits in the landscape, also known as soundscape richness.
