A Biosemiotic and Ecoacoustic History of Bird-Scaring

Biosemiotics, 2021
Timo Maran has defined “biosemiotic criticism” as the study of human culture with an emphasis on the recognition that all forms of life are organized by sign processes. That approach guides this investigation of the sonic devices and practices that have been used in encounters between birds and humans in agricultural spaces.

Implantation of marine ecoacoustic indices

The Journal of the Acoustical Society of America, 2017
Diversity measurement techniques can present logistical and financial obstacles to conservation efforts. Ecoacoustics has recently emerged as a promising solution to these issues, providing a mechanism for measuring diversity using acoustic indices, which have proven to be beneficial in terrestrial habitats. During summer in temperate north eastern New

Indices for Ecoacoustics

2018
Ecoacoustics aims at studying acoustic populations, communities, and landscapes for research in ecology. Ecoacoustics uses several acoustic indices to feature outdoor recordings. The main α and β ecoustic indices are reviewed one by one and statistic solutions are provided to treat dissimilarity matrices built with β indices.

Visual communication of ecoacoustic data to general audiences

Proceedings of the 22nd International Conference on 3D Web Technology, 2017
The complexity of soundscapes is difficult to express to general audiences, and the spectrograms generated from the acoustic data of a soundscape recording are specialised and difficult to interpret. This project experiments with 360° video in a mixed reality (MR) environment as a method of visualising this complexity.

Overview: Ecoacoustics for monitoring freshwater and marine biodiversity

The Journal of the Acoustical Society of America, 2017
Global marine and freshwater ecosystems are experiencing an unprecedented loss and re-distribution of biodiversity, due to far reaching effects of human activities, including accelerated climate change and over-exploitation. Such changes in aquatic diversity patterns will lead to shifting baselines with respect to species richness and distribution ...

An exploration of ecoacoustics and its applications in conservation ecology

BioSystems
Our planet is facing unprecedented adversity due to the global impacts of climate change and an emerging sixth mass extinction. These impacts are exacerbated by population and industrial growth, where increased resource extraction is required to meet our insatiable demands. Yet, the tangible elements of our lone inhabited planet in the solar system are

Climate Change Music: From Environmental Aesthetics to Ecoacoustics

South Atlantic Quarterly, 2017
Climate change music employs changing environmental conditions as instruments and procedures for music composition and performance. Using a combination of musical analysis and field journals to reveal methods of active listening and composing with climate change, this article shows how music is well suited to depict the multiply directed nature of ...

EcoSono: Adventures in interactive ecoacoustics in the world

Organised Sound, 2011
I only went out for a walk, and finally concluded to stay out till sundown, for going out, I found, was really going in.John Muir (1913)This article describes several recent projects that together illustrate an evolving practice and a philosophy of ecoacoustic sound art called EcoSono.

Diversity in Hearing in Fishes: Ecoacoustical, Communicative, and Developmental Constraints

2013
Fishes evolved a large diversity of hearing sensitivities. This diversity is linked mainly to differences in the way the inner ear is connected to gas-filled cavities such as the swim bladder. A close connection via accessory hearing structures such as Weberian ossicles results in higher auditory sensitivity or an expansion of the detectable frequency ...
