Bioacoustics supports genus identification in piranhasa).

Journal of the Acoustical Society of America, 2023
In different teleost species, sound production can utilize specific coding schemes to avoid confusion between species during communication. Piranhas are vocal Neotropical fishes, and both Pygocentrus and Serrasalmus produce similar pulsed sounds using ...

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 ...

Sounding out a continent: seven decades of bioacoustics research in Africa

Bioacoustics, 2022
Bioacoustics has emerged as a useful method of data collection and analysis for diverse animals in a wide range of environments and has helped to describe, monitor, and conserve some of Africa’s species biodiversity.

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.

Reviving the sound of a 150-year-old insect: The bioacoustics of Prophalangopsis obscura (Ensifera: Hagloidea)

PLoS ONE, 2022
Determining the acoustic ecology of extinct or rare species is challenging due to the inability to record their acoustic signals or hearing thresholds.

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.

A systematic review evaluating the performance of eDNA methods relative to conventional methods for biodiversity monitoring

Ecography, EarlyView.
The rapid adoption of environmental DNA (eDNA) methods has drastically changed biodiversity monitoring efforts. It is often claimed that eDNA methods are more sensitive and efficient than conventional biodiversity monitoring methods, but it is often unclear what metrics support this claim.

Catalysts for change: Museum gardens in a planetary emergency

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Natural history museums are often seen as places with indoor galleries full of dry‐dusty specimens, usually of animals. But if they have gardens associated with them, museums can use living plants to create narratives that link outside spaces to inside galleries, bringing to life the challenges facing biodiversity.
