A Participatory Design Approach to Creating Echolocation-Enabled Virtual Environments

open access: yes, 2022
As virtual environments—in the form of videogames and augmented and virtual reality experiences—become more popular, it is important to ensure that they are accessible to all. Previous research has identified echolocation as a useful interaction approach

Sensing Frames: A Contribution to Sensory Pluralism

open access: yesSociological Forum, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Are expressions like “sense of responsibility,” “sense of community,” and “business acumen” merely metaphors, or do they refer to deeper, socially embedded forms of perception? This article introduces the concept of “sensing frames”: the socially learned, culturally shaped, and pragmatically enacted modalities through which people perceive and

Assessing the Underwater Impact of Aerodynamic Noise From Offshore Wind Turbines

open access: yesWind Energy, Volume 29, Issue 7, July 2026.
ABSTRACT The growing demand for offshore wind energy has led to a significant increase in wind turbine size and to the development of large‐scale wind farms, often comprising 100–150 turbines. However, the environmental impact of underwater noise emissions remains largely unaddressed.

Insects and Survival: A Review of Primary and Secondary Defense Strategies

open access: yesEntomologia Experimentalis et Applicata, Volume 174, Issue 7, Page 601-624, July 2026.
Based on a review of three decades of literature, insect defense mechanisms are classified into primary (I) and secondary (II) mechanisms of behavioral, morphological, and chemical nature. These mechanisms have been recorded in 22 (I) and 20 (II) orders, respectively.

The Franciscana (Pontoporia blainvillei) in the Northern Limit of the FMA II: Strandings and Habitat Use in Ilha Grande Bay

open access: yesMarine Mammal Science, Volume 42, Issue 3, July 2026.
ABSTRACT The presence of the franciscana (Pontoporia blainvillei) at the northern limit of the FMA II was investigated using a range of methods, including monitoring of strandings, boat surveys, and passive acoustic monitoring (PAM). Franciscana strandings were recorded within the distributional gap between Macaé (22°55′ S) and Ilha Grande (23°09′ S ...

Advancing Marine Bioacoustics With Deep Generative Models: A Hybrid Augmentation Strategy for Southern Resident Killer Whale Detection

open access: yesMarine Mammal Science, Volume 42, Issue 3, July 2026.
ABSTRACT Automated detection and classification of marine mammal vocalizations is critical for conservation and management efforts but is hindered by limited annotated datasets and the acoustic complexity of real‐world marine environments. Data augmentation has proven to be an effective strategy to address this limitation by increasing dataset ...

Geographic variation in the echolocation calls of the endemic Cape horseshoe bat, Rhinolophus capensis (Chiroptera: Rhinolophidae)

open access: yes, 2009
Includes bibliographical references (leaves 63-84).Several intrinsic (body size) and extrinsic (foraging ecology and communication) factors are suggested to influence call frequency divergence in high duty-cycle bats.
