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 ...

A new method for ecoacoustics? Toward the extraction and evaluation of ecologically-meaningful soundscape components using sparse coding methods. [PDF]
PeerJ, 2016 Passive acoustic monitoring is emerging as a promising non-invasive proxy for ecological complexity with potential as a tool for remote assessment and monitoring (Sueur and Farina, 2015). Rather than attempting to recognise species-specific calls, either

Pond Acoustic Sampling Scheme: A draft protocol for rapid acoustic data collection in small waterbodies [PDF]
Ecology and Evolution, 2021 Freshwater conservation is vital to the maintenance of global biodiversity. Ponds are a critical, yet often under‐recognized, part of this, contributing to overall ecosystem functioning and diversity.

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

Acoustic space occupancy: Combining ecoacoustics and lidar to model biodiversity variation and detection bias across heterogeneous landscapes [PDF]
Ecological Indicators, 2020 There is global interest in quantifying changing biodiversity in human-modified landscapes. Ecoacoustics may offer a promising pathway for supporting multi-taxa monitoring, but its scalability has been hampered by the sonic complexity of biodiverse ...

Temporal patterns of Amazonian insect acoustic activity. [PDF]
Philos Trans R Soc Lond B Biol SciInsects are one of the most diverse taxa and are fundamental to the delivery of many ecosystem services. Despite their global ubiquity and ecological importance, there is little research on temporal variation in insect activity, especially in the tropics
