Comparing the Underwater Soundscapes of Four U.S. National Parks and Marine Sanctuaries

open access: yesFrontiers in Marine Science, 2019
Passive acoustic sensors provide a cost-effective tool for monitoring marine environments. Documenting acoustic conditions among habitats can provide insights into temporal changes in ecosystem composition and anthropogenic impacts.

The impacts of biological invasions

open access: yesBiological 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

Impact of Forest Fragmentation and Associated Edge Effects on Tropical Forest Biodiversity in North West Madagascar, Assessed via Ecoacoustics

open access: yesAnimal Conservation, Volume 29, Issue 3, Page 249-260, June 2026.
Deforestation in the tropics is a major threat to forest‐specialist animals, many of which are already threatened with extinction. We assessed how forest fragmentation and its associated edge‐effects impact animal biodiversity in Northwest Madagascar using soundscape analysis and acoustic indices.

A Sound Future: Ecoacoustics for Inclusive Biodiversity Conservation

open access: yes
Arresting and reversing biodiversity decline, largely driven by habitat loss and exacerbated by global climate change, and effectively monitoring such trends, is a critical global challenge.

Effective ecological monitoring using passive acoustic sensors: Recommendations for conservation practitioners

open access: yesConservation Science and Practice
Passive acoustic recorders have emerged as powerful tools for ecological monitoring. However, effective monitoring is not simply an act of recording sounds. To have meaning for conservation and management, acoustic monitoring needs to be properly planned

SFWA-TweetyNet: Cross-Regional Acoustic Analysis of Red-Winged Blackbird Vocalizations via Automated Syllable Annotation

open access: yesDiversity
The syllable is the most fundamental acoustic unit in bird vocalizations and is highly informative of species-specific behavioral characteristics. However, because syllables vary significantly across different species and environments, existing syllable ...

Bioacoustic Baselines for Intact Forests

open access: yesGlobal Change Biology, Volume 32, Issue 5, May 2026.
The Soundscape Baselines Project is a global initiative to collect and analyse bioacoustic baselines in the world's remaining intact forests. The baseline data are collected using a modular system of passive acoustic monitoring and ancillary data that can be expanded and integrated with other technologies.

Brain Morphology and Quantitative Assessment of Sensory Brain Areas in Southern Bluefin Tuna, Thunnus maccoyii (Scombridae, Teleostei)

open access: yesJournal of Comparative Neurology, Volume 534, Issue 4, April 2026.
The absolute and relative volume of major sensory and integrative brain regions of the southern bluefin tuna Thunnus maccoyii are examined using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). A dominant cerebellum projects into the midbrain ventricular space, while the optic tectum represents a smaller proportion of total brain volume than previously estimated ...

Fish responses to underwater sounds depend on auditory adaptations: An experimental test of the effect of motorboat sounds on the fish community of a large fluvial lake

open access: yesEcology and Evolution
Freshwater fishes exhibit a wide range of auditory adaptations and capabilities, which are assumed to help them navigate their environment, avoid predators, and find potential mates.
