Ecoacoustic bank: A software for ecoacoustics data management

SoftwareX
This paper describes Ecoacoustic bank, a software for managing and storing passive acoustic monitoring (PAM) data. The software allows integrating audio with other commonly collected data types, such as information on acquisition systems used and spatial–temporal conditions, to encourage research in biodiversity and environmental monitoring.

Soundscape components inform acoustic index patterns and refine estimates of bird species richness

Frontiers in Remote Sensing, 2023
Ecoacoustic monitoring has proliferated as autonomous recording units (ARU) have become more accessible. ARUs provide a non-invasive, passive method to assess ecosystem dynamics related to vocalizing animal behavior and human activity.

Data augmentation to improve the soundscape ranking index prediction [PDF]

, 2023
Predicting the sound quality of an environment represents an important task especially in urban parks where the coexistence of sources of anthropic and biophonic nature produces complex sound patterns.

Multidimensional terrestrial ecoacoustics assessment

, 2023
Ecologists faces challenges when analysing environmental acoustic data, such as handling big data, summarising and comparing long-duration recordings across regions and timescales. This thesis provide an innovative framework that combines time-series motif discovery and machine learning for analysing environmental sounds.

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.

Monitoring feral pigs (Sus scrofa): Complementarity between autonomous sensing methods increases detection probability

Remote Sensing in Ecology and Conservation, EarlyView.
Invasive alien species are a major threat for biodiversity worldwide and effective monitoring is paramount to inform management. In this study we used a multi‐season occupancy model to assess probability of detection between camera traps and passive acoustic recorders for feral pigs (Sus scrofa) during 1 year of data collection.

Passive Acoustic Monitoring as a Tool to Investigate the Spatial Distribution of Invasive Alien Species

Remote Sensing, 2022
Invasive alien species (IAS) are a threat to biodiversity and ecosystem function worldwide. Unfortunately, researchers, agencies, and other management groups face the unresolved challenge of effectively detecting and monitoring IAS at large spatial and ...

Rhyming in the cold: first evidence of soniferous fishes in the Southern Ocean

Remote Sensing in Ecology and Conservation, EarlyView.
The acoustic ecology of Southern Ocean fishes remains unknown due to a lack of dedicated acoustic research on the fishes of this ocean. Passive acoustic monitoring data were collected at the South African sub‐Antarctic Prince Edward Islands using an underwater acoustic recorder, and towed underwater Ski‐Monkey cameras were deployed to identify fish ...

From dusk till dawn: ecoacoustic monitoring reveals wind energy impacts on roding Eurasian woodcock Scolopax rusticola

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 ...
