A brief analysis of progress in mantis shrimp bioacoustics [PDF]
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 ...

Interaction of the phencyclidine model of schizophrenia and nicotine on total and categorized ultrasonic vocalizations in rats [PDF]
Patients with schizophrenia smoke cigarettes at a higher rate than the general population. We hypothesized that a factor in this comorbidity is sensitivity to the reinforcing and reinforcement- enhancement effects of nicotine.

Monitoring population trends are essential for the conservation of threatened species, and establishing best‐practice methods improves the efficiency, accuracy and long‐term value of data collected. For the nationally endangered Prodontria lewisii (Cromwell chafer beetle), monitoring has typically included soil core sampling for larvae, and pitfall ...

Generalized Perceptual Linear Prediction (gPLP) Features for Animal Vocalization Analysis [PDF]
A new feature extraction model, generalized perceptual linear prediction (gPLP), is developed to calculate a set of perceptually relevant features for digital signal analysis of animalvocalizations.

Going Beyond Body Size in Fish Acoustic Communication
ABSTRACT In this response to Dr. Eric Parmentier's comments on our paper ‘“What Does the Anemonefish Say?”: Investigating Amphiprion percula's Acoustic Behaviour’, we correct and clarify Dr. Parmentier's affirmations. Firstly, we address the statistical ‘problems’ by clarifying our statistical approach, highlighting the advantages of GLMMs in ...

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.

Entomogenic Climate Change [PDF]
Rapidly expanding insect populations, deforestation, and global climate change threaten to destabilize key planetary carbon pools, especially the Earth's forests which link the micro-ecology of insect infestation to climate.

ABSTRACT This paper presents a close‐hearing analysis of Forest 404, a transmedial audio drama that was released to BBC Sounds in 2019. Despite the drama's eco‐dystopian critique of teleological ‘progress’ narratives (that enable and perpetuate the destruction of the natural world), I argue that the series ultimately propagates a sense of inevitability

Automatic Classification and Speaker Identification of African Elephant (\u3cem\u3eLoxodonta africana\u3c/em\u3e) Vocalizations [PDF]
A hidden Markov model (HMM) system is presented for automatically classifying African elephant vocalizations. The development of the system is motivated by successful models from human speech analysis and recognition.
