In situ aerial bioacoustic monitoring from extremely noisy drone recordings

Methods in Ecology and Evolution, EarlyView.
Abstract Aerial bioacoustic monitoring has the potential to transform biodiversity surveys by enabling rapid acoustic sampling across large and inaccessible habitats. However, its application from unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) has remained limited because strong rotor self‐noise overwhelms target sounds such as bird vocalisations, compromising the ...

Interactive extraction of diverse vocal units from a planar embedding without the need for prior sound segmentation

Frontiers in Bioinformatics, 2023
Annotating and proofreading data sets of complex natural behaviors such as vocalizations are tedious tasks because instances of a given behavior need to be correctly segmented from background noise and must be classified with minimal false positive error

Un/Learning Adult Frames of Reference in Death Enquiries: Thinking~With a Picturebook, Philosophical Animism and Ontological Tact

Children &Society, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Developmental psychology continues to shape how adults engage with children about death and dying. This influences whether children are included in rituals surrounding human and other‐than‐human bodies. Figurations of the innocent, immature and vulnerable child still dominate adult imaginaries of young children's understandings of mortality ...

Structural-functional characteristics of two song types in Phylloscopus humei (Phylloscopidae)

Nature Conservation Research: Заповедная наука, 2023
Several songbird species use two singing modes, which are functionally different. The first mode is preferentially used at the beginning of the breeding cycle, and serves to attract females, while the second mode is used later in the season as well as ...

Use and Trust of Digital and Traditional Media Among Recreational Anglers in Germany: Findings From a Nationwide Survey

Fisheries Management and Ecology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Data on recreational fisheries are often limited, and scientists increasingly use digital platforms to collect information otherwise difficult to obtain. Using telephone‐diary survey data, this study examines angling‐related media use (face‐to‐face communication, angling magazines, TV or radio, YouTube, messenger services, social media, other ...

Processes underlying complex patterns of song trait evolution in a Setophaga hybrid zone

Ecology and Evolution, 2021
During secondary contact between two species when hybrids are less fit than parents, mating signals are expected to diverge, while aggressive signals are expected to converge.

L3 Regressive Transfer: A Study of Null Objects in the Basque and Spanish Grammars of Advanced L3 English Speakers

International Journal of Applied Linguistics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Regressive transfer has been a subject that has not been extensively researched in the field of third language acquisition. This study aims to examine the extent to which a highly advanced knowledge of a third language (L3) affects the first language (L1) and the second language (L2) of early bilinguals in light of the Differential Stability ...

The Role of Language Dominance in Congruency Effects on Multi‐Word Unit Processing: Evidence From Early Bilinguals

International Journal of Applied Linguistics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study investigates how the learner‐related factors of language dominance, encompassing language history, proficiency, use, and attitude, modulate congruency effects in multi‐word unit (MWU) processing among early bilinguals. Seventy Cantonese–Putonghua bilinguals completed lexical decision tasks measuring reaction time and accuracy for ...

DBS-NET: A Dual-Branch Network Integrating Supervised and Contrastive Self-Supervised Learning for Birdsong Classification

Applied Sciences
Birdsong classification plays a crucial role in monitoring species distribution, population structure, and environmental changes. Existing methods typically use supervised learning to extract specific features for classification, but this may limit the ...
