Multi‐Platform Deployments of Low‐Cost Devices for Cetacean Passive Acoustic Monitoring

Remote Sensing in Ecology and Conservation, EarlyView.
Recent advances in affordable, user‐friendly devices offer new opportunities to overcome cost constraints of underwater passive acoustic monitoring (PAM) and expand acoustic data collection. In this study, we deployed low‐cost acoustic recorders and underwater cameras across a range of platforms in the Western Mediterranean, including fishing gear ...

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

People and Nature
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. We

Widespread Bomb Fishing in Indo‐Pacific Archipelago Revealed Through Machine Learning Accelerated Passive Acoustic Monitoring

Remote Sensing in Ecology and Conservation, EarlyView.
AI‐accelerated passive acoustic monitoring reveals extensive bomb fishing within the Spermonde Archipelago, with annual incidents numbering in the thousands. ABSTRACT Bomb fishing is recognised as the most destructive fishing practice that can be performed in our oceans.

Natural soundscapes enhance mood recovery amid anthropogenic noise pollution.

PLoS ONE
In urbanised landscapes, the scarcity of green spaces and increased exposure to anthropogenic noise have adverse effects on health and wellbeing. While reduced speed limits have historically been implemented to address traffic safety, their potential ...

Few Annotations, High Accuracy: Transfer Learning and Data Augmentation Improve Passive Acoustic Monitoring of the Vulnerable African Manatee

Remote Sensing in Ecology and Conservation, EarlyView.
Can deep learning reliably detect a threatened species in passive acoustic monitoring with few annotations? Across 52 sites and 600 recording days, we compared two deep learning recognizers with the traditional machine learning Kaleidoscope for detecting African manatee vocalizations.

Anthropogenic Noise Source and Intensity Effects on Mood and Relaxation in Simulated Park Environments

Frontiers in Psychology, 2020
Research on human caused sound has shown a wide range of effects in outdoor environments as well as laboratory simulations of those environments. Aircraft noise, ground traffic, and human voices have all been shown to lower scenic evaluation ratings and ...

Repurposing Bird‐Based Acoustic Models for Amphibian Surveys: Strengths and Limitations in Real‐World Deployments

Remote Sensing in Ecology and Conservation, EarlyView.
In this study, we developed AnuraSearch, an open‐source classifier for 11 Ukrainian amphibian species, by repurposing the avian BirdNET algorithm via transfer learning to process over 18,000 h of autonomous acoustic recordings. Although the model demonstrated high precision and successfully reconstructed detailed seasonal and diel vocal activity ...
