Passive Acoustic Data as Phenological Distributions: Uncovering Signals of Temporal Ecology
Passive acoustic monitoring has the potential to broaden our understanding of vocal animals' annual phenological cycles throughout and beyond the breeding season. We present standardized analytical methods for quantifying vocal phenology from passive acoustic recordings processed by classification algorithms, guided by clearly articulated hypotheses ...
