Spatial distribution of acoustic traits in bird assemblages along regional bioclimatic gradients

Ecography, Volume 2026, Issue 6, June 2026.
Environmental variation shapes acoustic interactions among birds, creating spatial structures in the sonic signature of local species assemblages. Exploring these patterns at regional scales can reveal processes that segregate acoustic strategies along environmental gradients.

Prediction of Electric Toothbrush Acoustic Comfort Using a Lightweight Dual‐Branch CNN With Psychoacoustic‐Spectral Cross‐Attention Fusion

Engineering Reports, Volume 8, Issue 6, June 2026.
A lightweight dual‐branch neural network with cross‐attention fusion (LDCNN‐CF) integrates Mel‐spectrograms with psychoacoustic parameters to predict electric toothbrush acoustic comfort. The model achieves human‐like accuracy (MAE = 0.82, R2 = 0.84) with only 0.42 M parameters and identifies roughness as the dominant predictor of discomfort.

TABMON: Design and deployment of a transnational passive acoustic monitoring network for European birds

Methods in Ecology and Evolution, Volume 17, Issue 6, Page 1867-1879, June 2026.
Abstract Ecological surveys are often fragmented, costly and limited in scale, leading to large and long‐standing knowledge gaps which threaten our ability to properly safeguard biodiversity. Passive acoustic monitoring (PAM) has promised to deliver automated biodiversity monitoring, but networks are rarely deployed on scales that can offer truly novel

Impact of Forest Fragmentation and Associated Edge Effects on Tropical Forest Biodiversity in North West Madagascar, Assessed via Ecoacoustics

Animal 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.

On Being Receptive: Listening and Compliance on a University Campus

American Anthropologist, Volume 128, Issue 2, Page 249-258, June 2026.
ABSTRACT How should you listen when you hear about harms in interpersonal life, such as sexual harassment or anti‐Black racism? Across a range of sites on a university campus, from bystander intervention workshops to reporting systems for sex‐ and gender‐based misconduct, we spotlight the way “listening” is mobilized to address harms of various kinds ...

Introducing soundscape

, 2012
'Soundscape' – the acoustic equivalent of 'Landscape' – is a relatively new area to many. It concerns the acoustic environment as perceived, experienced or understood by people, in context.

Religio‐Governmental Infrastructures: Islam, Infrastructure, and Populist Mobilization in Turkey

American Anthropologist, Volume 128, Issue 2, Page 272-283, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Turkish mosques are staffed by state‐appointed imams and callers to prayer whose practices are regulated through a complex bureaucratic network operating on an internet‐based data‐management and communication infrastructure. A centralized mosque loudspeaker network enables the broadcast of calls to prayer and other Islamic recitations across ...

Implementing real‐time acoustic monitoring for conservation: A case study using edge computing and satellite transmission

Conservation Science and Practice, Volume 8, Issue 6, June 2026.
We evaluated a prototype acoustic monitoring device that performs onboard species classification and transmits detection summaries via satellite, enabling near real‐time data access from remote field sites. Deployed alongside conventional autonomous recording units at eight Northern Spotted Owl territories, the system demonstrated successful ...
