Exploring nocturnal soundscapes in an Australian open forest system using acoustic indices. [PDF]
PLoS ONENocturnal environments and their ecology remain noticeably under-represented in the scientific literature, despite their ecological importance, largely due to the practical challenges of sampling nighttime ecology.

Acoustic ecology of Antarctic pinnipeds [PDF]
Marine Ecology - Progress Series, 2010 In aquatic-mating pinnipeds, acoustic communication plays an important role in male competition and mate attraction. Vocal repertoire size and composition during the breeding season varies between species and is presumed to be a product of interspecific differences in sexual selec- tion.

The Sound of Drystones: A Novel Hot-Spot of Ecoacoustics Research
Earth, 2022 Drystone terraces offer a series of ecosystem services including both biological and cultural benefits. The aesthetic contribution towards the landscape and the increase in biodiversity levels, constitute drystone terraces and other similar constructions,

The importance of ambient sound level to characterise anuran habitat. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2013 Habitat characterisation is a pivotal step of any animal ecology study. The choice of variables used to describe habitats is crucial and need to be relevant to the ecology and behaviour of the species, in order to reflect biologically meaningful ...
