The More the Merrier: The Effects of Data Volume and Transfer Learning on Creating Generalizable Deep Learning PAM Detectors

open access: yesMarine Mammal Science, Volume 42, Issue 4, October 2026.
ABSTRACT Passive acoustic monitoring (PAM) generates large datasets that are costly to analyze manually, creating the need for accurate automated detection methods. While deep learning (DL) has shown promise for PAM‐related tasks, the transferability of trained models to unseen datasets remains a critical challenge.

An Automated Pipeline for Few‐Shot Bird Call Classification, a Case Study With the Tooth‐Billed Pigeon

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 9, September 2026.
This study presents an automated, few‐shot bird call classification pipeline designed to detect rare and critically endangered species using as few as one to three known vocalizations. Validated on both a simulated dataset and real‐world recordings of the Tooth‐Billed Pigeon, the model achieved high recall and accuracy, offering a practical tool for ...

Desert amphibian calling effort changes in response to monsoonal precipitation at constructed but not natural waters

open access: yesEcosphere, Volume 17, Issue 9, September 2026.
Abstract The increasing frequency and intensity of droughts due to climate change poses a severe threat to the persistence of desert amphibians that require standing water to breed. In portions of the Sonoran Desert, tinajas (i.e., ephemeral rock pools that are filled by rain), which serve as the primary natural breeding sites for these amphibians, are

Public perceptions of anthropogenic and natural sounds: Disparities in soundscapes and corresponding sense of place

open access: yesPeople and Nature, Volume 8, Issue 9, Page 2986-3002, September 2026.
Abstract Noise pollution is an environmental stressor negatively affecting humans and biodiversity. Noise pollution is often measured and regulated according to loudness, but in this study, we assessed noise pollution based on human perceptions of soundscapes.
