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.
