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

Biofonía en un ruidoso fragmento de bosque urbano tropical [PDF]
, 2021 Anthropogenic noise, which is part of an urban soundscape, can negatively affect the behaviour of wild animals. Here we investigated how biophony (animal sounds) was affected by noise in an urban Brazilian forest fragment.

Fish sounds and boat noise are prominent soundscape contributors in an urban European estuary [PDF]
, 2021 Passive acoustic monitoring is a valuable tool for non-intrusive monitoring of marine environments, also allowing the assessment of underwater noise that can negatively affect marine organisms. Here we provide for the first time, an assessment of noise

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 ...

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.

Six steps towards operationalising freshwater ecoacoustic monitoring
Freshwater Biology, 2019 Abstract Applications in bioacoustics and its sister discipline ecoacoustics have increased exponentially over the last decade. However, despite knowledge about aquatic bioacoustics dating back to the times of Aristotle and a vast amount of background literature to draw upon, freshwater applications of ecoacoustics have been lagging to date. In this

Using acoustic indices to detect interspecific bird interactions and behaviour
Ibis, EarlyView.Communication networks and acoustic interactions play a crucial role in shaping animal communities by mediating information exchange between individuals. These interactions contribute to the biophonic component of the soundscape—the acoustic environment of a place—which is increasingly analysed to understand ecosystem structure and functioning. However,

Climate change is breaking Earth's beat [PDF]
, 2019 International audienceForests, deserts, rivers, and oceans are filled with animal vocalizations and geological sounds. We postulate that climate change is changing the Earth's natural acoustic fabric.
