Adaptive Acoustic Monitoring for Endangered Cook Inlet Beluga Whales in Complex Soundscapes

Marine Mammal Science, Volume 42, Issue 3, July 2026.
ABSTRACT Effective conservation of the endangered Cook Inlet beluga whale (Delphinapterus leucas) requires comprehensive spatiotemporal data, yet monitoring efforts remain spatially biased, underrepresenting important southern habitats. Passive acoustic monitoring (PAM) provides the necessary broad‐scale coverage, but its expansion introduces ...

Environmental Noise in Intensive Care Units: Occupational Exposure, Nurse Well‐Being and Care Quality—A Mixed‐Methods Study

Nursing in Critical Care, Volume 31, Issue 4, July 2026.
ABSTRACT Background Noise pollution in intensive care units (ICUs) is a pervasive occupational exposure that may affect nurses' well‐being, patient safety and quality of care. Aim To examine ICU nurses' perceptions and experiences of noise pollution and explore associations between perceived noise exposure, well‐being, work performance and patient ...

The impacts of biological invasions

Biological Reviews, Volume 101, Issue 3, Page 1255-1310, June 2026.
ABSTRACT The Anthropocene is characterised by a continuous human‐mediated reshuffling of the distributions of species globally. Both intentional and unintentional introductions have resulted in numerous species being translocated beyond their native ranges, often leading to their establishment and subsequent spread – a process referred to as biological

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.
