On the semantics of ecoacoustic codes

Biosystems, 2023
Ecological codes have been defined as every biological code integrated by factors originated by the environmental context that participates in the codepoiesis process. Ecological codes create a strict relationship between the inner world of organsims and the external relational world, and represent the mechanism with which the vivo-scape is realized ...

Plant ecoacoustics: a sensory ecology approach

Trends in Ecology & Evolution, 2023
Many interactions of plants with the environment have an acoustic component, including the actions of herbivores and pollinators, wind and rain. Although plants have long been tested for their response to single tones or music, their response to naturally occurring sources of sound and vibration is barely explored.

Ecoacoustic codes and ecological complexity

Biosystems, 2018
Multi-layer communication and sensing network assures the exchange of relevant information between animals and their umwelten, imparting complexity to the ecological systems. Individual soniferous species, the acoustic community, and soundscape are the three main operational levels that comprise this multi-layer network.

Discovering ecoacoustic codes in beehives: First evidence and perspectives

Biosystems, 2023
The sounds present inside a beehive originate from the overlap of honeybee buzzes with external sounds. They reveal patterns that support the hypothesis that the sonic context of the beehive may be utilized by honeybees as a source of ecoacoustic codes for communication and the coordination of social activity. Patterns were observed in a data series of

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.

Use of ecoacoustics to determine biodiversity patterns across ecological gradients

Conservation Biology, 2016
Abstract The variety of local animal sounds characterizes a landscape. We used ecoacoustics to noninvasively assess the species richness of various biotopes typical of an ecofriendly forest plantation with diverse ecological gradients and both nonnative and indigenous vegetation. The reference area was an adjacent large World Heritage

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 ...
