Sensory Biology of the Franciscana (Pontoporia blainvillei, Pontoporiidae, Cetartiodactyla): Ontogenetic Modifications of Vibrissae and Vibrissal Crypts

open access: yesIntegrative Zoology, EarlyView.
The transition of cetaceans from a terrestrial to an aquatic environment involved a crucial sensory adaptation to environments with limited visibility. Vibrissae, important mechanoreceptors, undergo an ontogenetic transformation in odontocetes. This research describes the histomorphology of vibrissae and crypts at different developmental stages ...

Taking LoRa for a dive : CSS for low-power acoustic underwater communication

open access: yes, 2022
Long Range (LoRa) is a rising technology for low-power over-water wide area networks. In this paper, we modify the physical layer (PHY) of the LoRa communication standard for use in acoustic underwater communication.

Underwater acoustic communication

open access: yes
This review article provides a comprehensive analysis of recent advancements in underwater acoustic communication (UWA) through Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) techniques. The study synthesizes findings from three major areas: pilot-assisted OFDM for channel estimation, subcarrier power modulation for data rate improvement, and ...

Active acoustic time-reversal for underwater acoustic barriers [PDF]

open access: yes, 2007
This work addresses the possibility of using successive transmissions of time delayed channel probe pulses between two closely spaced acoustic sensor arrays for forming an acoustic barrier for target detection in shallow water.

Fishing Activity Affected Odontocete Cetacean Distribution in a Marine Protected Area in the East China Sea

open access: yesIntegrative Zoology, EarlyView.
Spatiotemporal distribution of odontocete cetaceans within China's Jiushan Archipelago National Nature Reserve was investigated. Fishing vessels significantly reduced both cetacean acoustic detections and feeding activity, whereas gillnets selectively suppressed cetacean feeding behavior without affecting overall cetacean detection rates.

Experiment Research on Underwater Acoustic Sensor Network

open access: yes, 2007
Experiment is the effective research means. In this paper, an experiment platform for underwater acoustic sensor networks(UASNs) is designed and developed, which serves as the testing and evaluating system of UASNs and is convenient, flexible and ...

A validated 3D point‐cloud analysis workflow for the creation of seagrass canopy height models

open access: yesMethods in Ecology and Evolution, EarlyView.
Abstract Seagrasses support highly productive ecosystems in both temperate and tropical waters and provide essential ecosystem services. Despite their importance, the vertical structure of seagrasses (i.e. the canopy) remains poorly characterised at the microscale, even though it is a strong predictor of ecological processes that influence both ...
