Novel class identification: A human‐in‐the‐loop approach for efficient species recognition in bioacoustic data

Methods in Ecology and Evolution, EarlyView.
Abstract Passive acoustic monitoring (PAM) is widely used to collect large‐scale wildlife data encompassing many species, but efficiently identifying all species—particularly rare and potentially endangered ones—without exhaustive manual examination of the entire dataset remains a major challenge.

Cross‐continental zero‐shot anuran call classification with CLAP and denoising‐based synthetic embedding generation

Methods in Ecology and Evolution, EarlyView.
Abstract Using machine learning models to classify bioacoustic signals of animal species is increasingly important for conservation monitoring because manual expert labelling is time‐consuming and tedious. Monitoring endangered species is particularly challenging because these species are rare, making it difficult to collect the large, representative ...

Emerging applications of large language models in ecology and conservation science

Conservation Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Large language models (LLMs) mark a major development in artificial intelligence, with potentially transformative implications for ecology and conservation science. Built on advanced deep‐learning architectures, these models can support a wide range of tasks. We reviewed emerging applications of LLMs, drawing on the wider scientific literature

Wood Thrush (Hylocichla mustelina) occupancy patterns reveal sensitivity to low precipitation on nonbreeding grounds in northern Costa Rica

Ibis, EarlyView.
Climatic change and anthropogenic disturbances are reshaping animal populations. Habitat loss and extreme climatic events are particularly strong drivers of declines in species that depend on forested areas. For migratory songbirds, climate and the persistence of suitable habitat over time are fundamental to sustaining populations annually.

Identification of the enigmatic Deraniyagala’s beaked whale

iScience
Summary: It is essential to discover and identify animals in species level in the wild to achieve the collection of baseline data and benefit better understanding and conservation of the rare species.

Anthropogenic and natural factors are associated with bird dawn chorus onset in subtropical East Asia

Ibis, EarlyView.
Anthropogenic factors such as artificial lighting at night (ALAN) and natural factors including temperature and moonlight can affect the dawn chorus pattern in birds. However, most studies are conducted in temperate regions. We investigated the effect of anthropogenic and natural factors on dawn chorus timing in eight species of bird across Hong Kong ...

Soundscapes: Species Richness and Community Composition of Neotropical Atlantic Forest Avifauna

Conservation
As tropical forests become increasingly vulnerable to land use changes, fragmentation, and climate shifts, efforts to minimise species loss are essential.

Do the biological characteristics of trout (Salmo trutta) smolts influence their spring migration timing and maiden marine sojourn duration?

Journal of Fish Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Anadromous salmonids migrate seaward to exploit feeding and growth opportunities in marine habitats, yet how smolt biological characteristics influence their marine migratory behavior remains poorly understood. This study used 9 years of trout (Salmo trutta) population monitoring data from 15,595 tagged age‐0+ parr, 1033 smolts detected ...

AquaVib: Enabling the Separate Evaluation of Effects Induced by Acoustic Pressure and Particle Motion on Aquatic Organisms

Journal of Marine Science and Engineering
Scientific awareness is rising regarding fish and sea invertebrates’ sensitivity to the sound field’s particle motion component. The AquaVib, a distinctive laboratory setup, provides a practical methodology for controlled sound exposure experiments on ...
