Habitat loss, together with less obvious land-use changes such as intensified farming practice, can have significant adverse impacts on biodiversity. An important factor in determining the ability of species to cope is their potential sustain a populations network by dispersal across landscape. quality and structure are particularly for surface-dwelling low abilities, amphibians. To assess this ecological function, ponds coastal typically rural area northern France were surveyed amphibians...
Forest restoration requires monitoring to assess above‐ and belowground communities, which is challenging due practical resource limitations. Ecological acoustic survey methods––also known as “ecoacoustics”––are increasingly available provide a rapid, effective, non‐intrusive means of biodiversity. Aboveground ecoacoustics widespread, but soil has yet be utilized in despite its demonstrable effectiveness at detecting soniferous meso‐ macrofauna. This study applied ecoacoustic tools indices...
Abstract Ecoacoustics, the study of environmental sound, is a rapidly growing discipline offering ecological insights at scales ranging from individual organisms to whole ecosystems. Substantial methodological developments over last 15 years have streamlined extraction information audio recordings. One widely used set methods are acoustic indices, which offer numerical summaries spectral, temporal and amplitude patterns in Currently, specifics each index's background, methodology soundscape...
Effective monitoring of rare and declining species is critical to enable their conservation, but can often be difficult due detectability or survey constraints. However, developments in acoustic recorders are enabling an important new approach for improved that especially applicable long-term studies, use environments with cryptic species. Bioacoustic data may effectively analysed within occupancy modelling framework, as presence/absence determined, repeated events accommodated. Hence, both...
Bioacoustics is the study of animal sounds. The importance bioacoustics for biological research and survey monitoring bird populations becoming increasingly recognized. This particularly case capture long-term data on rare species that are prone to disturbance or otherwise difficult survey. global population Western Capercaillie (Tetrao urogallus L.; hereafter 'Capercaillie') declining, its status in UK highly precarious. Current methods this subject a number constraints affect quality...
Abstract Forest restoration requires monitoring to assess changes in above- and below-ground communities, which is challenging due practical resource limitations. With emerging sound recording technologies, ecological acoustic survey methods—also known as ‘ecoacoustics’—are increasingly available. These provide a rapid, effective, non-intrusive means of biodiversity. Above-ground ecoacoustics widespread, but soil has yet be utilised despite its demonstrable effectiveness at detecting meso-...
Capsule: Automated acoustic recording can be used as a valuable survey technique for Capercaillie Tetrao urogallus leks, improving the quality and quantity of field data this endangered bird species. However, more development work testing against traditional methods are needed to establish optimal working practices.Aims: This study aims determine whether vocalizations recognized in lek recordings, automated using readily available software, number calls resulting varies with location,...
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...
Political responses to the COVID-19 pandemic led changes in city soundscapes around globe. From March October 2020, a consortium of 261 contributors from 35 countries brought together by Silent Cities project built unique soundscape recordings collection report on local acoustic urban areas. We present this here, along with metadata including observational descriptions areas contributors, open-source environmental data, confinement levels and calculation descriptors. performed technical...
Capsule: Two distinct song types were identified for male European Nightjars Caprimulgus europaeus with their relative frequency of use changing through the breeding season, indicating a possible link to paired status.Aims: To test whether two could be defined in audio recordings and differed relation status males.Methods: Unattended acoustic recording devices placed at Nightjar study site Nottinghamshire, United Kingdom, churring vocalizations made during periods season. These then analyzed...
