Carbon finance initiatives can provide biodiversity benefits

Conservation Science and Practice, EarlyView.
We evaluated the biodiversity co‐benefits of a REDD+ initiative in the tropical forests of Sierra Leone and Liberia using a quasi‐experimental study design. Complementary measures from bioacoustics and DNA metabarcoding revealed that REDD+‐financed protected areas were associated with additional biodiversity benefits compared to control areas.

Using acoustic indices to detect interspecific bird interactions and behaviour

Ibis, EarlyView.
Communication networks and acoustic interactions play a crucial role in shaping animal communities by mediating information exchange between individuals. These interactions contribute to the biophonic component of the soundscape—the acoustic environment of a place—which is increasingly analysed to understand ecosystem structure and functioning. However,

Knock knock, who's there? Identifying wild species‐specific fish sounds with passive acoustic localization and random forest models

Journal of Fish Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Passive acoustic monitoring (PAM) is a useful non‐destructive tool for evaluating species presence, diversity and abundance. However, in marine environments, a dearth of tools and methods for identifying wild, species‐specific fish calls makes quantitative PAM assessments for specific fish species challenging.
