Building trust with marginalized communities in participatory acoustic monitoring through dynamic consent

Conservation Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract There exists a growing suite of technologies that support significant and exciting progress in biodiversity conservation and research. Citizen scientist participation is common in this research and often focuses on data collection and labeling.

Linking Acoustic Indices to Vegetation and Microclimate in a Historical Urban Garden: Setting the Stage for a Restorative Soundscape

Land
Urban soundscapes are increasingly recognized as fundamental for both ecological integrity and human well-being, yet the complex interplay between the vegetation structure, seasonal dynamics, and microclimatic factors in shaping these soundscapes remains

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,

‘It's Like a Horror Movie That You Walk Through’: Experiencing Horror Through Immersive Recreation

The Journal of American Culture, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Horror stories have provided enjoyable forms of leisure for centuries. Over the past five decades, however, these experiences have evolved into increasingly immersive forms of popular culture. What once involved constructing the narrative world internally through reading has expanded into sensory engagement through visual and auditory media ...

The Sounds of Silence: Perspectives on Documenting Acoustic Landscapes at the Intersection of Remoteness, Conservation and Tourism

Humanities
The humanities are often criticised for lacking a way through from the complexity they reveal to the challenges they might hope to address. In the face of the accelerating biodiversity crisis, we present two projects that aim to respond to the ...

Ethnographie matérielle, sonore et spatiale de la mort en pays maale (Éthiopie méridionale)

Afriques, 2012
The Maale of southwestern Ethiopia tell two categories of deceased persons apart. The first, without descendants, die “fully” since the group evacuates them from memory, whereas the second, who have descendants, die “partially” since they acquire the ...

Capturing Crimp’s soundscape [PDF]

Journal of Adaptation in Film & Performance, 2016
Abstract In this age of post-dramaticity that does away with such definitional concepts as conflict or fiction on a mimetic stage, Martin Crimp relocates ‘drama’ (action, conflict) within language itself. The translator’s challenge consists in fleshing out the materiality of sound and in capturing the dramaticity of the form as it is ...

From Theatre to XR: Shaping Immersive Storytelling Design Education through Artistic and Analogue Insights

International Journal of Art &Design Education, EarlyView.
Abstract In an increasingly technology‐driven world, this study examined how communication design students can critically and creatively master advanced digital tools to craft immersive storytelling experiences, drawing upon an ‘analogue’ mindset. While immersive experiences are often associated with XR technologies, true immersion transcends the ...

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.
