The study of marine soundscapes is an emerging field research that contributes important information about biological compositions and environmental conditions. seasonal circadian soundscape trends a protected area (MPA) in the Mediterranean Sea have been studied for one year using autonomous acoustic recorder. Frequencies less than 1 kHz are dominated by noise generated waves louder during winter; conversely, higher frequencies (4-96 kHz) snapping shrimp, which increase their activity at...
Dolphins emit short ultrasonic pulses (clicks) to acquire information about the surrounding environment, prey and habitat features. We investigated Delphinidae activity over multiple temporal scales through detection of their echolocation clicks, using long-term Passive Acoustic Monitoring (PAM). The Istituto Nazionale di Fisica Nucleare operates multidisciplinary seafloor observatories in a deep area Central Mediterranean Sea. Ocean noise Detection Experiment collected data offshore Gulf...
Passive Acoustic Monitoring (PAM) is increasingly being adopted as a non-invasive method for the assessment of ocean ecological dynamics. PAM an important sampling approach acquiring critical information about marine mammals, especially in areas where data are lacking and evaluations threats vulnerable populations required. The Indo-Pacific humpback dolphin (IPHD, Sousa chinensis) coastal species which inhabits tropical warm-temperate waters from eastern Indian Ocean throughout Southeast...
Abstract This study describes pulsed signals from bottlenose dolphins of the central Mediterranean Sea. Data were collected during 2011 and 2012 in 27 surveys Sicilian Channel, which 163 animals sighted. Based mainly on pulse repetition rate, classified as Low‐frequency click ( LF ; single clicks without a regular rate), Train TC with interclick interval 80 ± 2 ms), Burst (with 3.4 0.2 or Packed lower number per train median 3.2 0.0 ms). The measured parameters peak sound pressure level SPL...
This study describes the underwater acoustic behavior of red swamp crayfish Procambarus clarkii. The was conducted both in a tank and natural environment. equipped with video recording systems. Observations were to identify signals produced their association behavioral events movement status animals. In lake reserve, remote station used circadian activity assess features signals. produces irregular trains wide-band pulses (duration 0.4 ms, SPL(PK) 128 dB re 1 μPa, peak frequency 28 kHz,...
Abstract Dolphins interact with many types of fishing gear, causing damage to activities and in some cases facing harm becoming entangled as bycatch. In this study, the behaviour bottlenose dolphins during their interaction set nets, equipped without interactive pingers, was investigated. Acoustic monitoring nets conducted for a total 56 hauls 814.9 hr recordings, from 16 October 13 November 2015, along coast Lampedusa island (Sicilian Channel, Italy, Mediterranean Sea). The level between...
Abstract When implementing conservation strategies involving passive acoustic monitoring, an accurate description of signal properties is crucial, especially when studying threatened and elusive vocalizing species. Misrepresentation detected sounds can result in information loss or misclassification species, thus compromising the management process. Distortion time–frequency features depends on characteristics propagation through sea water, sensitivity sampling frequency acquisition system...
Modernised urban networks will constitute the backbone of smart cities. Modernisation is far from being realised and an extensive use comprehension, models at adequate level granularity, needed. The paper proposes a cross-domain methodology to represent evaluate energy efficiency interdependent grid, gas water networks. Models domain simulators faithfully each physical network, transversal three networks, their interdependencies compute indicators. built by are also used validate simulators....

The EMSO Research Infrastructure operates multidisciplinary seafloor-cabled observatories in a deep-sea area offshore Eastern Sicily (2100 m of depth). In data-lacking zone, Passive Acoustic Monitoring activities revealed new information on cetacean bioacoustics over multiple ecological scales. Expert operators investigated the presence vocalizations within large acoustic datasets acquired. Then, algorithms were developed to provide behavior and ecology recorded species. 2005-2006, activity...
