Biofonía en un ruidoso fragmento de bosque urbano tropical [PDF]
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.

Analysing Interlinked Frequency Dynamics of the Urban Acoustic Environment [PDF]
As sustainable metropolitan regions require more densely built-up areas, a comprehensive understanding of the urban acoustic environment (AE) is needed. However, comprehensive datasets of the urban AE and well-established research methods for the AE are ...

BirdNET: Automated Detection for Monitoring Critically Endangered Lemurs from the Maromizaha Forest
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.

Visual observations of the marine biodiversity can be difficult in specific areas for different reasons, including weather conditions or a lack of observers. In such conditions, passive acoustics represents a potential alternative approach. The objective

Fish sounds and boat noise are prominent soundscape contributors in an urban European estuary [PDF]
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

Six steps towards operationalising freshwater ecoacoustic monitoring
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

The impacts of biological invasions
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

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 ...

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

Using acoustic indices to detect interspecific bird interactions and behaviour
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,
