Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.Renewable energy is vital for reducing carbon emissions and yet its infrastructure poses challenges to biodiversity. While the impacts of wind power on bats and raptors are well‐studied, the effects on elusive species remain largely unknown. The Eurasian woodcock Scolopax rusticola, a nocturnal forest bird, performs characteristic courtship flights at ...

BirdNET: Automated Detection for Monitoring Critically Endangered Lemurs from the Maromizaha Forest
Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.In this study, we evaluated the effectiveness of integrating PAM with BirdNET, a convolutional neural network originally developed for avian vocalization detection, to monitor two critically endangered lemurs, Indri indri and Varecia variegata, in Madagascar's Maromizaha rainforest.

SANE: An index of anthropogenic noise levels for wildlife research in terrestrial ecosystems
Methods in Ecology and Evolution, EarlyView.Abstract Understanding the impact of noise pollution on wildlife is challenging due to the complexity of isolating the anthropogenic components from the soundscape. Soundscape studies usually employ acoustic indices that apply thresholds to isolate anthrophony from natural sounds. However, natural and anthropogenic sounds do not always conform to these

Investigating the utility of ecoacoustic metrics in marine soundscapes [PDF]
Journal of Ecoacoustics, 2018 Soundscape analysis is a potentially powerful tool in ecosystem monitoring. Ecoacoustic metrics, including the Acoustic Complexity Index (ACI) and Acoustic Entropy (H), were originally developed for terrestrial ecosystems and are now increasingly being applied to investigate the biodiversity, habitat complexity and health of marine systems, with mixed ...

Methods in Ecology and Evolution, EarlyView.Abstract Ecoacoustics mainly aims at monitoring soundscapes by means of non‐invasive protocols. Despite the widespread adoption of machine and deep learning techniques, existing ecoacoustic models predominantly rely on supervised learning and, consequently, face two primary limitations: (1) the necessity of annotated data; and (2) the restriction to ...

Forest degradation reduces acoustic partitioning in tropical avian communities
Journal of Avian Biology, Volume 2026, Issue 4, July 2026.The acoustic niche hypothesis posits that species partition acoustic space by frequency and time to avoid signal masking, and that any local loss of species leaves detectable gaps in co‐evolved soundscapes. However, loss, fragmentation and disturbance of habitat often lead to species turnover, and as sensitive species are lost, generalist species ...

Impacts of a large hydroelectric dam on the Madeira River (Brazil) on floodplain avifauna
Acta Amazonica, 2021 Hydroelectric dams represent an important threat to seasonally flooded environments in the Amazon basin. We aimed to evaluate how a dam in the Madeira River, one of the largest tributaries of the Amazonas River, affected floodplain avifauna.

The impacts of biological invasions
Biological Reviews, Volume 101, Issue 3, Page 1255-1310, June 2026.ABSTRACT The Anthropocene is characterised by a continuous human‐mediated reshuffling of the distributions of species globally. Both intentional and unintentional introductions have resulted in numerous species being translocated beyond their native ranges, often leading to their establishment and subsequent spread – a process referred to as biological
