Biases in Ecoacoustics Analysis: A Protocol to Equalize Audio Recorders. [PDF]
Sensors (Basel)Eco-acoustic indices allow us to rapidly evaluate habitats and ecosystems and derive information about anthropophonic impacts. However, it is proven that indices’ values and trends are not comparable between studies. These incongruences may be caused by the availability on the market of recorders with different characteristics and costs. Thus, there is

Impact of Forest Fragmentation and Associated Edge Effects on Tropical Forest Biodiversity in North West Madagascar, Assessed via Ecoacoustics [PDF]
Animal Conservation, EarlyView.Tropical forests harbour up to 50% of the world's terrestrial biodiversity, making them vital refuges for many species. However, tropical forests are one of the world's most threatened habitats; 10 million km2 of tropical forest has been cleared since ...

Mitigating bias in long‐term terrestrial ecoacoustic studies [PDF]
Journal of Applied EcologyAbstract Long‐term biodiversity monitoring is needed to track progress towards ambitious global targets to reduce species loss and restore ecosystems. The recent development of cheap and robust acoustic recording devices offers a cost‐effective means of gathering standardised long‐term datasets.

Monitoring soil fauna with ecoacoustics. [PDF]
Proc Biol SciEcoacoustics—or acoustic ecology—aids in monitoring elusive and protected species in several ecological contexts. For example, passive acoustic monitoring (PAM), which involves autonomous acoustic sensors, is widely used to detect various taxonomic groups in terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems, from birds and bats to fish and cetaceans.

Towards interpretable learned representations for ecoacoustics using variational auto-encoding
Ecological Informatics, 2023 AbstractEcoacoustics is an emerging science that seeks to understand the role of sound in ecological processes. Passive acoustic monitoring is increasingly being used to collect vast quantities of whole-soundscape audio recordings in order to study variations in acoustic community activity across spatial and temporal scales.
