WAH‐i: Optimising microphone array geometry for customised localisation accuracy

Methods in Ecology and Evolution, EarlyView.
Abstract Accurate spatial localisation of free‐flying echolocating bats is foundational for resolving fine‐scale flight and echolocation behaviour, prey interception and spatial decision‐making in natural environments. Acoustic localisation using microphone arrays is widely employed for this purpose, yet array geometries in field studies are typically ...

Bioacoustics data analysis - a taxonomy, survey and open challenges

, 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 brief analysis of progress in mantis shrimp bioacoustics [PDF]

Arthropods
The historical study of bioacoustics of mantis shrimp (Stomatopoda) is used as an example for the progress made in the study of bioacoustics in general. In the preceding 139 years biologists have published 80 manuscripts documenting the acoustics of the ...

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

The silent elephant in the room: Observed differences in calling behavior of African forest elephants (Loxodonta cyclotis) in a fragmented West African forest

Conservation Science and Practice, EarlyView.
Abstract Small, fragmented populations of critically endangered species require different conservation strategies than large, contiguous populations, as they are vulnerable to local extinction, demographic shifts, and behavior changes. Effective management necessitates regular, systematic surveys to detect early warning signs of decline and facilitate ...

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.

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 ...
