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...
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...
Global climate change can cause pronounced changes in speciesʼ migratory behaviour. Numerous recent studies have demonstrated climate‐driven migration distance and spring arrival date waterbirds, but detailed based on long‐term records of individual recapture or re‐sighting events are scarce. Using data from 430 marked individuals spanning a 60‐year period (winters 1956/1957 to 2015/2016), we assessed patterns date, wintering‐site fidelity survival the increasing central European breeding...
Recent studies showed that climate changes shape species distribution and could cause range shifts in the flyway level of species. Here, we demonstrated habitat selection as a response to weather severity twelve most abundant wintering waterbird with prevailing increase numbers during three investigated periods (1972–1978, 1987–1993 2003–2009). We used counts from 93 sites throughout Czech Republic mid-January term coldest period winter when effect thermoregulation on waterbirds is apparent....
Camera traps are increasingly one of the fundamental pillars environmental monitoring and management. Even outside scientific community, thousands camera in hands citizens may offer valuable data on terrestrial vertebrate fauna, bycatch particular, when guided according to already employed standards. This provides a promising setting for Citizen Science initiatives. Here, we suggest possible pathway isolated observations be aggregated into single database that respects existing standards...
Hunting is a key source of disturbance which affects geese populations directly through killing and indirectly shooting disturbance. Movements individuals in response to hunting may expose reduced feeding opportunities higher predation risks, can have consequences on the population level. Thus should use habitats that provide access food minimize encounters with hunters. Our study focused differences proportion hunting-free area used total by individuals, size water bodies birds, flight...
Waterbird species have different requirements with respect to their non‐breeding areas, aiming survive and gain condition during the period. Selection of areas could change over time space driven by climate habitat requirements. To help explain mechanism shaping area selection, we provide site‐specific analyses distributional changes in wintering waterbirds central Europe, located at centre flyways. We use as a highly dynamic model group monitored long‐time scale 50 years (1966–2015)....
