Same data, different results? Machine learning approaches in bioacoustics

open access: yesMethods in Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 8, Page 1574-1586, August 2025.
Abstract Automated acoustic analysis is increasingly used in behavioural ecology, and determining caller identity is a key element for many investigations. However, variability in feature extraction and classification methods limits the comparability of results across species and studies, constraining conclusions we can draw about the ecology and ...
