Soundscape analysis is a potentially powerful tool in ecosystem monitoring. Ecoacoustic metrics, including the Acoustic Complexity Index (ACI) and Entropy (H), were originally developed for terrestrial ecosystems are now increasingly being applied to investigate biodiversity, habitat complexity health of marine systems, with mixed results. To elucidate efficacy applying these metrics soundscapes, their sensitivity variations call rate type evaluated using combination field data synthetic...
In 2010 the Conference of Parties (COP) for Convention on Biological Diversity revised and updated a Strategic Plan Biodiversity 2011–2020, which included Aichi Targets. Here group early career researchers mentored by senior scientists, convened as part 4th World Marine Biodiversity, reflects accomplishments shortfalls under four Targets considered highly relevant to marine conservation: target 6 (sustainable fisheries), 11 (protection measures), 15 (ecosystem restoration resilience) 19...
Optimizing habitat restoration success requires understanding how location and design enhance the persistence function of a restored habitat. Particular attention to configuration structure its interaction with landscape‐scale processes is critical for enhancing value areas. We monitored six subtidal oyster reefs in Pamlico Sound, North Carolina, United States, identify demographics responded initial characteristics (e.g. reef area, volume, vertical relief, perimeter‐to‐area ratio) changes...
Assessing the biodiversity of underwater habitats can be challenging; traditional sampling methods do not record all fish species, and are often conducted intermittently. As a result, diversity, ecosystem health, resulting conservation decisions inferred through incomplete “snapshots” in time. Passive acoustic recordings with high spatiotemporal resolution, provide data on species ecological economic importance that missed by sampling. This information is vital to understanding behavior,...
