Abstract Passive acoustic monitoring (PAM) has emerged as a transformative tool for applied ecology, conservation and biodiversity monitoring, but its potential contribution to fundamental ecology is less often discussed, PAM studies tend be descriptive, rather than mechanistic. Here, we chart the most promising directions ecologists wishing use suite of currently available methods address long‐standing questions in explore new avenues research. In both terrestrial aquatic habitats, provides...
Abstract The rise of passive acoustic monitoring and the rapid growth in large audio datasets is driving development analysis methods that allow ecological inferences to be drawn from data. Acoustic indices are currently one most widely applied tools ecoacoustics. These numerical summaries sound energy contained digital recordings relatively straightforward fast calculate but can challenging interpret. Misapplication misinterpretation have produced conflicting results led some question their...
Abstract Passive acoustic monitoring ( PAM ) is increasingly popular in ecological research and conservation programs, with high‐volume long‐term data collection provided by automatized sensors offering unprecedented opportunities for faunal ecosystem surveys. Practitioners newcomers interested can easily find technical specifications microphones, but guidelines on how to plan survey designs are largely scattered over the literature. Here, we (i) review spatial temporal sampling used passive...
Abstract Biodiversity in freshwater habitats is decreasing faster than any other type of environment, mostly as a result human activities. Monitoring these losses can help guide mitigation efforts. In most studies, sampling strategies predominantly rely on collecting animal and vegetal specimens. Although techniques produce valuable data, they are invasive, time‐consuming typically permit only limited spatial temporal replication. There need for the development complementary methods. As...
Abstract The urgency for remote, reliable, and scalable biodiversity monitoring amidst mounting human pressures on climate ecosystems has sparked worldwide interest in Passive Acoustic Monitoring (PAM), but there been no comprehensive overview of its coverage across realms. We present metadata from 358 datasets recorded since 1991 above land water constituting the first global synthesis sampling spatial, temporal, ecological scales. compiled summary statistics (sampling locations, deployment...
Global pollinator decline urgently requires effective methods to assess their trends, distribution and behaviour. Passive acoustics is a non-invasive cost-efficient monitoring tool increasingly employed for animal communities. However, insect sounds remain highly unexplored, hindering the application of this technique pollinators. To overcome shortfall support future developments, we recorded characterized wingbeat variety Iberian domestic wild bees tested relationship with taxonomic,...
The past decade has produced an increased ecological interest in sonic environments, or soundscapes. However, despite this rise and technological improvements that allow for long-term acoustic surveys various some habitats' soundscapes remain to be explored. Ponds, more generally freshwater habitats, are one of these acoustically unexplored environments. Here we undertook the first long term monitoring three temperate ponds France. By aural visual inspection a selection recordings,...
Aquatic insects are a major indicator used to assess ecological condition in freshwater environments. However, current methods collect and identify aquatic require advanced taxonomic expertise rely on invasive techniques that lack spatio-temporal replication. Passive acoustic monitoring (PAM) is emerging as non-invasive complementary sampling method allowing broad coverage. The application of PAM ecosystems has already proved useful, revealing unexpected diversity produced by fishes,...
Abstract Acoustic population monitoring is a noninvasive method that can be deployed continuously over long periods of time and at large spatial scales. One the newly discovered threats acting on biological diversity anthropogenic noise. High levels noise occur in aquatic environments, yet their effects animals living freshwater habitats have very rarely been investigated. Here, we used acoustic automatic detection to assess activity soniferous insect. The sounds emitted by corixid...
Abstract Conventional methodologies used to estimate biodiversity in freshwater ecosystems can be nonselective and invasive, sometimes leading capture potential injury of vulnerable species. Therefore, interest noninvasive surveying techniques is growing among ecologists. Passive acoustic monitoring, the recording environmental sounds, has been shown effectively survey biota terrestrial marine ecosystems. However, knowledge sounds produced by species relatively scarce. Furthermore, little...
Recent studies revealed that information on ecological patterns and processes can be investigated using sounds emanating from animal communities. In freshwater environments, communities are strongly shaped by key factors such as lateral connectivity temperature. We predict those linked to acoustic formed the collection of emitted underwater. To test this prediction, we deployed a passive monitoring during 15 days in six floodplain channels European river Rhône. The differed their temperature...
Abstract Ecoacoustic methods are increasingly used to monitor the state of populations and ecosystems. In freshwater environments, they present clear advantages being non‐invasive, reducing bias, providing continuous observations instead only limited sampling snapshots in time. However, similar standard bioassessment methods, temporal variation choice indicators can greatly influence ecoacoustic assessments, highlighting importance analysis design. this study, we quantified diurnal...

The aim present study was evaluate what extent sounds can for assessment. We performed field relate indices intensity several stressors, community...
Abstract Applications in bioacoustics and its sister discipline ecoacoustics have increased exponentially over the last decade. However, despite knowledge about aquatic dating back to times of Aristotle a vast amount background literature draw upon, freshwater applications been lagging date. In this special issue, we present nine studies that deal with underwater acoustics, plus three acoustic on water‐dependent birds frogs. Topics include automatic detection organisms by their calls,...
Abstract There is tantalizing evidence that phenotypic plasticity can buffer novel, adaptive genetic variants long enough to permit their evolutionary spread, and this process often invoked in explanations for rapid evolution. However, the strength generality of it controversial. We identify a conceptual problem affecting debate: recombination, segregation, independent assortment are expected quickly sever associations between genes controlling novel adaptations contributing trait...
The interaction effect coefficient ψ has been a much-discussed, fundamental parameter of indirect genetic (IGE) models since its formal mathematical description in 1997. simultaneously describes the form changes trait expression caused by genes social environment and predicts evolutionary consequences those IGEs. Here, we report striking mismatch between theoretical emphasis on usage empirical studies. Surveying all IGE research, find that not equivalently conceptualized across Several...
Abstract Passive acoustic monitoring is gaining momentum as a viable alternative method to surveying freshwater ecosystems. As part of an emerging field, the spatio‐temporal replication levels these sampling methods need be standardised. However, in shallow waters, patchiness remains virtually unexplored. In this paper, we specifically investigate spatial heterogeneity underwater sounds observed within and between waterholes ephemeral river at different times day how it could affect passive...
Abstract Freshwater conservation is vital to the maintenance of global biodiversity. Ponds are a critical, yet often under‐recognized, part this, contributing overall ecosystem functioning and diversity. They provide habitats for range aquatic, terrestrial, amphibious life, including rare declining species. Effective, rapid, accessible survey methods needed enable evidence‐based action, but freshwater taxa viewed as “difficult”—and few specialist surveyors available. Datasets on ponds...
