People and Nature, EarlyView.Abstract Natural soundscapes are an important cultural ecosystem service that can promote mental health and well‐being. However, the role of specific acoustic characteristics in delivering these benefits and the constraining effects of anthropogenic noise are currently unclear.

People and Nature, EarlyView.Abstract Depictions of rewilded landscapes reveal the underlying principles shaping the future of rewilding. This paper analyses a virtual reality (VR) model of a rewilding project in the Scottish Highlands that is advertised as a vision of a rewilded nature in 50 to 100 years' time.

What Do We Mean by “Soundscape”? A Functional Description
Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2022 The concept of soundscape was originally coined to study the relationship between humans and their sonic environment. Since then, several definitions of soundscapes have been proposed based on musical, acoustical and ecological perspectives. However, the

Rhyming in the cold: first evidence of soniferous fishes in the Southern Ocean
Remote Sensing in Ecology and Conservation, EarlyView.The acoustic ecology of Southern Ocean fishes remains unknown due to a lack of dedicated acoustic research on the fishes of this ocean. Passive acoustic monitoring data were collected at the South African sub‐Antarctic Prince Edward Islands using an underwater acoustic recorder, and towed underwater Ski‐Monkey cameras were deployed to identify fish ...

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 ...
