Local Ecological Knowledge Reveals the Distribution of Cryptic Nocturnal Wildlife
Wildlife Letters, EarlyView.Many nocturnal animals are difficult to study because they are rarely seen, including nocturnal primates, galagos and pottos, in West Africa. Working with over 600 people in 52 villages in southern Guinea‐Bissau, we found that communities frequently recognized galagos by their red eyeshine and distinctive calls, while pottos were not known.

The ultrasonic nonlinearity parameter for biological media
Archives of Acoustics, 2015 The nonlinearity parameter B/A of several soft tissues was measured using two independent methods. The B/A values of most soft tissues were found to be between 7 and 8, with the exception of fat which has a B/A value close to 11.

Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.Research on mosquito feeding preferences and the malaria parasites they transmit is essential for understanding the interactions between hosts, vectors, and parasites. In this study, vertebrate hosts were identified in 72 mosquitoes. Most blood meals (58.7%) came from birds, representing 25 species, while 40.0% came from mammals (13 species), and 1.3 ...

The voice from the hereafter: vocalisations in three species of Atelopus from the Venezuelan Andes, likely to be extinct [PDF]
Herpetozoa, 2019 Atelopus is a species-rich group of Neotropical bufonids. Present knowledge on bioacoustics in this genus is relatively poor, as vocalisations have been described in only about one fifth of the ca. 100 species known.

BirdNET: Automated Detection for Monitoring Critically Endangered Lemurs from the Maromizaha Forest
Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.In this study, we evaluated the effectiveness of integrating PAM with BirdNET, a convolutional neural network originally developed for avian vocalization detection, to monitor two critically endangered lemurs, Indri indri and Varecia variegata, in Madagascar's Maromizaha rainforest.
