The genus Proceratophrys Miranda-Ribeiro, 1920, frogs from the family Odontophrynidae Lynch, currently contains 41 nominal species with poorly resolved phylogenetic relationships (Frost 2019; Mângia et al. 2018). Molecular data 15 and 18 support monophyletic hypothesis of (Teixeira-Jr 2012; Dias 2013; respectively) but do not fully resolve relationship among species. Currently, there are advertisement call parameters provided for 31 in literature (Ferreira 2016; Andrade 2018; Nascimento...
Abstract Passive acoustic monitoring (PAM) is increasingly popular in ecological research, but recording and analyzing large amounts of data still a critical bottleneck for the long‐term multiple species. We evaluated how temporal spatial sampling effort affects species diversity estimates using set 14,045 1‐min recordings from various neotropical birds anuran communities. Our goals were to evaluate (i) daily vocal activity cycle anurans, (ii) effect structure (e.g., number minutes listened...
<title>Abstract</title> Under the current global biodiversity crisis, there is a need for automated and non-invasive monitoring techniques that are able to gather large amounts of information cost-effectively at scales. One such technique passive acoustic monitoring, which commonly coupled with automatic identification animal species based on their sound. Automated sound analyses usually require training detection algorithms. These algorithms annotated datasets mark occurrence sounds...
Passive acoustic monitoring (PAM) has become increasingly popular in biodiversity. It produces large amounts of data and can provide a foundation for understanding the long-term consequences environmental degradation. However, extracting biological information from such extensive datasets be challenging requires advanced computational skills. Herein, we introduce streamlined workflow detecting signals three critically endangered birds: Cherry-throated Tanager (Nemosia rourei), Alagoas...
Animal communication is related to many biological processes, and its investigation may help elucidate aspects of an organism. If in the one hand, animal might be seen as a process, other, sound physical phenomenon, so that understanding depends on processes go beyond biology itself. Here we aim interlace concepts Physics, Ecology, better operationalize concept acoustic niche. The study relationships between problems (i.e. transmission, semantics effectiveness), properties (frequency,...
Several animal groups depend on acoustic communication to survive and reproduce, bringing attention the possible negative effects of increasing anthropogenic noise. We examined role acoustical small-scale distribution Scinax nebulosus, how this is affected by performed playback experiments estimate theoretical male-male distances compared them measured distances. If sound does, in fact, dictate chorus spatial structure, our models should successfully predict frog's field. By definition,...
