Soundscapes of the Upper Amazon: Seasonal Activity Patterns of Insectivorous Bats in Cordillera Escalera, Peru

open access: yesBiotropica, Volume 58, Issue 5, September 2026.
ABSTRACT Bats, the second most diverse group of mammals, play essential ecological roles in insect control, pollination, and seed dispersal. In Peru, insectivorous bats remain poorly studied, particularly in high‐elevation rainforest ecosystems of the upper Amazon region.

Good Condition, but Noisy: Critical Gaps in Ecological Assessment Frameworks

open access: yesConservation Letters, Volume 19, Issue 5, September/October 2026.
ABSTRACT Ecological condition assessments can guide conservation priorities yet often neglect pervasive stressors such as noise pollution. We examined whether assessed ecological condition reflects exposure to transportation noise exceeding 50 dB Lden (day–evening–night levels), a conservative threshold given documented negative effects on wildlife at ...

Organizational Soundscapes and the Sonicity of Voices: The Power of the ‘Sounds’ that Carry ‘Words’

open access: yesJournal of Management Studies, Volume 63, Issue 6, Page 2305-2331, September 2026.
Abstract Organizations are soundscapes – they resonate with sounds and particularly the sounds of voices. Somehow however voice sonics, that is the sounds of voices and not the words carried on those sounds, have escaped attention in management studies. This absence of analysis is peculiar given voice sonics' undoubted influence on management (they may

VLM4S: A Vision‐Language Model Framework for Geographically and Environmentally Informed Soundscape Assessment

open access: yesTransactions in GIS, Volume 30, Issue 6, September 2026.
ABSTRACT Sound environments shape urban experience, yet conventional noise monitoring relies on isolated sensors lacking semantic context and spatial scalability. In this study, we develop a Vision‐Language Model for Soundscape (VLM4S), an exploratory, sensor‐free framework for inferring acoustic conditions from street‐view imagery.

Geography and ‘The New’

open access: yesTransactions of the Institute of British Geographers, Volume 51, Issue 3, September 2026.
ABSTRACT This Intervention reflects on the multiple, contradictory and ambivalent relations human geography has with ‘the new’. Some sort of relation with the new is an inescapable and necessary part of all practices of knowledge generation. Newness, whether it be an empirical finding, an idea, a concept or an approach, can fuel the interest, wonder ...
