Chromosome-Level Genome Assembly of the Rough-Toothed Dolphin (Steno bredanensis)

Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2023
The rough-toothed dolphin (Steno bredanensis), the single extant species of the genus Steno, inhabits tropical and subtropical oceans. It is an attractive species for studying aquatic adaptation and evolution.

When Nature Counts: Corporate Biodiversity Attention and Access to Bank Finance

Business Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This paper investigates whether corporate attention to biodiversity influences firms' access to bank loans, an overlooked question in the emerging biodiversity–finance literature. Using a novel, text‐based measure constructed from 446 biodiversity‐related keywords and applied to Chinese A‐share listed firms from 2000 to 2023, we show that ...

Exploring more‐than‐human ethics and the digital dimensions of nature recovery through an interactive fiction game

People and Nature, EarlyView.
Abstract This perspective piece considers how a more‐than‐human approach to ethics can foster nuanced, critical understandings of the digital dimensions of nature recovery. A more‐than‐human approach expands on who or what is included as ethical actors while focusing on the interconnectedness of human and nonhuman experiences.

Sound categorization by crocodilians

iScience, 2023
Summary: Rapidly sorting the information contained in a stream of stimuli is a major challenge for animals. One cognitive mechanism for achieving this goal is categorization, where the receiving individual considers a continuous variation of a stimulus ...

Automatic insect identification, counting, and monitoring techniques: a review

Pest Management Science, EarlyView.
Automated insect monitoring increasingly integrates optical, acoustic, infrared, radar, electrostatic, and biosensing technologies with artificial intelligence. No single approach is universally optimal; reliable deployment depends on task‐specific validation, representative datasets, robustness under field conditions, energy autonomy, connectivity ...

Vocal complexity in the long calls of Bornean orangutans [PDF]

PeerJ
Vocal complexity is central to many evolutionary hypotheses about animal communication. Yet, quantifying and comparing complexity remains a challenge, particularly when vocal types are highly graded.

Long-Distance Counter Calling in Maned Wolves: Friends or Foes?

Animals, 2022
Maned wolves (Chrysocyon brachyurus) are monogamous and display biparental care for their young, although adults rarely spend time in close proximity. To better understand vocal interactions of maned wolves over long-distances, we passively recorded >10 ...

Rhyming in the cold: first evidence of soniferous fishes in the Southern Ocean

Remote Sensing in Ecology and Conservation, EarlyView.
The acoustic ecology of Southern Ocean fishes remains unknown due to a lack of dedicated acoustic research on the fishes of this ocean. Passive acoustic monitoring data were collected at the South African sub‐Antarctic Prince Edward Islands using an underwater acoustic recorder, and towed underwater Ski‐Monkey cameras were deployed to identify fish ...

Global birdsong embeddings enable superior transfer learning for bioacoustic classification

Scientific Reports, 2023
Automated bioacoustic analysis aids understanding and protection of both marine and terrestrial animals and their habitats across extensive spatiotemporal scales, and typically involves analyzing vast collections of acoustic data. With the advent of deep
