Bacpipe: A Python package to make bioacoustic deep learning models accessible

Methods in Ecology and Evolution, EarlyView.
Abstract Natural sounds have been recorded for millions of hours over the previous decades using passive acoustic monitoring. Improvements in deep learning models have vastly accelerated the analysis of large portions of this data. While new models advance the state‐of‐the‐art, accessing them using tools to harness their full potential is not always ...

Environmental and anthropogenic influences on fire patterns in tropical dry deciduous forests

Scientific Reports
Wildfires pose a considerable threat to forests and wildlife, with tropical dry deciduous forests being particularly susceptible. These ecosystems, characterized by seasonal dry periods, create conditions conducive to rapid fire spread.

Developing a taxonomy of soundscape interventions from a catalogue of real-world examples

Acta Acustica
In recent decades, there has been a growing interest in urban soundscapes and a shift towards a user-focused approach in urban sound environments. Despite this interest, there is no comprehensive taxonomy for soundscape design available. The Catalogue of

Doing Item Reviewing in and Through Interaction: What It Takes to Problematize and Revise a Language Test Item

International Journal of Applied Linguistics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study brings an interactional perspective to item reviewing (IR) as one of the critical language test construction stages by using conversation analysis. Drawing on video recordings of IR sessions in an English preparatory school at the tertiary level, it examines how EFL teachers problematize and revise syllabus‐based language test items

A Study on Spatiotemporal Dynamics and Spatial Dependence of Sound Source Perception in Fuzhou Historical and Cultural Districts

Buildings
As a carrier of cultural characteristics of historic districts, the soundscape has unique advantages in shaping regional cultural personality, and mastering its spatiotemporal characteristics is crucial for preserving soundscape heritage with natural and

The effects of playbacks of anthropogenic noise on the anti‐predator behaviour of Pacific sand lance, Ammodytes personatus

Journal of Fish Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Noise from human activities has increased and been shown to negatively impact marine animals. Marine mammals and fish are vulnerable to anthropogenic noise because they rely on sound to communicate, find food, avoid predators and sense their environment. Forage fish are small schooling pelagic fish, important to many predators and instrumental
