Time series methods for the analysis of soundscapes and other cyclical ecological data

open access: yesMethods in Ecology and Evolution
Biodiversity monitoring has entered an era of ‘big data’, exemplified by a near‐continuous collection of sounds, images, chemical and other signals from organisms in diverse ecosystems.

The Tallgrass Prairie Soundscape; Employing an Ecoacoustic Approach to Understand Grassland Response to Prescribed Burns and the Spatial and Temporal Patterns of Nechrophilous Invertebrate Communities [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
Tallgrass prairies are rapidly vanishing biodiversity hotspots for native and endemic species, yet little is known regarding how spatial and temporal variation of prairie soundscapes relates to seasonal changes, disturbance patterns and biological ...

Lydanalyse for overvåking av biologisk mangfold i tropisk regnskog [PDF]

open access: yes, 2023
Tropical rainforests harbour up to 66% of the world’s terrestrial biodiversity but have been reduced in extent by up to 60% due to persistent deforestation and forest degradation, resulting in the population decline or loss of ecologically and ...

Impact of acoustic index parameters on soundscape comparisons

open access: yesMethods in Ecology and Evolution
Unprecedented ecosystem changes have prompted prioritisation of scalable and informative environmental monitoring. Ecoacoustics derives information from passive acoustic monitoring of soundscapes as a proxy to describe ecological processes.

Forest structural heterogeneity positively affects bird richness and acoustic diversity in a temperate, central European forest

open access: yesFrontiers in Ecology and Evolution
IntroductionForests managed for timber production can also be managed for biodiversity conservation by retaining structures typical of old-growth forests, which provide heterogenous structures for forest-dwelling species, including birds.

Relationship between acoustic indices, length of recordings and processing time: a methodological test

open access: yesBiota Colombiana, 2021
Ecoacoustic approaches have the potential to provide rapid biodiversity assessments and avoid costly fieldwork. Their use in biodiversity studies for improving management and conservation of natural landscapes has grown considerably in recent years ...

Biophony in a noisy tropical urban forest fragment

open access: yesBiota Colombiana, 2021
Anthropogenic noise, which is part of an urban soundscape, can negatively affect the behaviour of wild animals. Here we investigated how biophony (animal sounds) was affected by noise in an urban Brazilian forest fragment.

Continuous measurement of red wood ant ( Formica rufa) outdoor behaviour using passive acoustic monitoring [PDF]

open access: yes
Ants serve as ecosystem engineers that maintain important ecological processes within forests. Given their ecological importance, it is a clear scientific shortcoming that we lack non-invasive methods to survey their behaviour inside common opaque ...

Ecokinetics : A Dance Film Inquiry [PDF]

open access: yes, 2020
For my MFA thesis project, I created a series of three dance films— Plastic Virus, Single Use, and Fly —that explore ecological themes. In Plastic Virus, I dance in a costume constructed from more than a hundred plastic bags and suggest how plastic ...

Natural soundscapes as a disciplinary bridge in pursuit of sustainability: research themes and priorities

open access: yesEcosystems and People
Natural soundscapes, a blend of natural and human-made sounds, enhance human health by reducing stress, improving cognitive function, and increasing happiness. They foster a connection to nature and raise awareness of biodiversity loss.
