Impact of Forest Fragmentation and Associated Edge Effects on Tropical Forest Biodiversity in North West Madagascar, Assessed via Ecoacoustics

Animal Conservation, EarlyView.
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.

Implementing real‐time acoustic monitoring for conservation: A case study using edge computing and satellite transmission

Conservation Science and Practice, EarlyView.
We evaluated a prototype acoustic monitoring device that performs onboard species classification and transmits detection summaries via satellite, enabling near real‐time data access from remote field sites. Deployed alongside conventional autonomous recording units at eight Northern Spotted Owl territories, the system demonstrated successful ...
