PyGellermann: a Python tool to generate pseudorandom series for human and non-human animal behavioural experiments

open access: yesBMC Research Notes, 2023
Objective Researchers in animal cognition, psychophysics, and experimental psychology need to randomise the presentation order of trials in experimental sessions. In many paradigms, for each trial, one of two responses can be correct, and the trials need

Bioacoustics Data Analysis – A Taxonomy, Survey and Open Challenges

open access: yesIEEE Access, 2020
Biodiversity monitoring has become a critical task for governments and ecological research agencies for reducing significant loss of animal species. Existing monitoring methods are time-intensive and techniques such as tagging are also invasive and may ...

A Framework for Bioacoustic Vocalization Analysis Using Hidden Markov Models [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
Using Hidden Markov Models (HMMs) as a recognition framework for automatic classification of animal vocalizations has a number of benefits, including the ability to handle duration variability through nonlinear time alignment, the ability to incorporate ...

Contribution to unravel variability in bowhead whale songs and better understand its ecological significance

open access: yesScientific Reports, 2021
Since the first studies on bowhead whale singing behaviour, song variations have been consistently reported. However, there has been little discussion regarding variability in bowhead whale singing display and its ecological significance.

Dynamic spatiotemporal acoustic occurrence of North Atlantic right whales in the offshore Rhode Island and Massachusetts Wind Energy Areas

open access: yesEndangered Species Research, 2022
As development of offshore wind energy areas (WEAs) progresses along the US Atlantic coast, so will the spatiotemporal overlap and potential space-use conflict with vulnerable or protected wildlife, including Critically Endangered North Atlantic right ...

Robust rhythm reporting will advance ecological and evolutionary research

open access: yesMethods in Ecology and Evolution, 2023
Rhythmicity in the millisecond to second range is a fundamental building block of communication and coordinated movement. But how widespread are rhythmic capacities across species, and how did they evolve under different environmental pressures ...

The First Attempt of Satellite Tracking on Occurrence and Migration of Bryde’s Whale (Balaenoptera edeni) in the Beibu Gulf

open access: yesJournal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2021
Satellite-tagging is increasingly becoming a powerful biotelemetry approach to obtain remote measurement through tracking free-living cetaceans, which can fill knowledge gaps on cetaceans and facilitate conservation management.

Anomalous Coloration of Indo-Pacific Humpback Dolphins off Southern China

open access: yesJournal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2023
The Indo-Pacific humpback dolphin is characterized by a particular ontogenic change in body color from dark gray at birth to pure white (or with a few dark-gray spots) after reaching adulthood.

Can harbor seals (Phoca vitulina) discriminate familiar conspecific calls after long periods of separation? [PDF]

open access: yesPeerJ, 2021
The ability to discriminate between familiar and unfamiliar calls may play a key role in pinnipeds’ communication and survival, as in the case of mother-pup interactions. Vocal discrimination abilities have been suggested to be more developed in pinniped
