Abstract A major barrier to advancing ornithology is the systemic exclusion of professionals from Global South. recent special feature, Advances in Neotropical Ornithology, and a shortfalls analysis therein, unintentionally followed long-standing pattern highlighting individuals, knowledge, views North, while largely omitting perspectives people based within Neotropics. Here, we review current strengths opportunities practice ornithology. Further, discuss problems with assessing state...
Abstract Knowledge that can be gained from acoustic data collection in tropical ecosystems is low‐hanging fruit. There every reason to record and with day, there are fewer excuses not do it. In recent years, the cost of recorders has decreased substantially (some purchased for under US $50, e.g., Hill et al . 2018) technology needed store analyze continuously improving (e.g., Corrada Bravo 2017, Xie 2017). Soundscape recordings provide a permanent site at given time contain wealth invaluable...
Acoustic ecology, or ecoacoustics, is a growing field that uses sound as tool to evaluate animal communities. In this manuscript, we recordings from eight tropical forest sites vary in species richness, relatively low diversity Caribbean megadiverse Amazonian forest, with the goal of understanding relationship between acoustic space use (ASU) and across different taxonomic groups. For each site, determined morphospecies richness composition biophony, used global biodiversity dataset estimate...
In tropical regions, many studies have focused on how vegetation and ecosystem processes recover following the abandonment of anthropogenic activities, but less attention has been given to recovery patterns vertebrates. Here we conduct a meta‐analysis (n = 147 studies) amphibian, reptile, bird mammal during secondary forest succession (i.e. natural regeneration). For each taxonomic group, compared changes in species richness compositional similarity reference forests (mature or old growth...
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...
Disturbance regimes and biodiversity-two factors that govern the stability of ecosystems-are changing rapidly due to anthropogenic forces including climate change.Determining whether ecosystems retain their structure function through intensifying disturbance is an urgent task.However, quantitatively assessing resilience natural systems a complex challenging endeavor, especially for animal communities, which datasets around events are scarce.Here, we apply emerging remote sensing...
Vocalizations from birds are a fruitful source of information for the classification species. However, currently used analyses ineffective to determine taxonomic status some groups. To provide clearer grouping taxa such bird species analysis vocalizations, more sensitive techniques required. In this study, we have evaluated sensitivity Uniform Manifold Approximation and Projection (UMAP) technique vocalizations individuals Rough-legged Tyrannulet Phyllomyias burmeisteri complex. Although...

Passive acoustic monitoring (PAM) is a promising method for biodiversity assessment, which allows longer and less intrusive sampling when compared to traditional methods ( e.g ., collecting specimens), by using sound recordings as the primary data source. Insects have great potential models study of assemblages due their sensitivity environmental changes. Nevertheless, ecoacoustic studies focused on insects are still scarce more charismatic groups. Insects’ activity patterns respond factors,...
El monitoreo acústico pasivo es una técnica en la cual se instalan grabadoras con programación particular de grabación, sin que haya interferencia del observador. A pesar su reciente interés, muchos lugares el Neotrópico aún no cuentan información sobre actividad acústica. Los eventos muestreo este tipo pueden aportar un futuro a contestar diferentes preguntas diversidad acústica Neotrópico. Presentamos conjunto datos realizados durante primer semestre 2020 Reserva Natural Yátaros, 6 km...
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...
Abstract Body mass is one of the most important phenotypic attributes in animal ecology and life history. This trait widely used fields macroevolution, since it influences physiology, morphological functions, a myriad ecological social interactions. In this data set, our aim was to gather comprehensive bird mammal body set from northern South America. We report mass, discriminated by sex, for 42,022 individual birds 7,441 mammals representing 1,317 species (69% Colombia’s avifauna) 270 (51%...
