Holism in Dealing with Global Problems
ZygonTo the extent that we humans believe that we can solve our species-level problems with technology, we remain on the path to self-destruction. But there is an alternative; we can see other species like ours as empirical examples of how to be a species ...

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 ...
