Over the past years, numerous methods have emerged to automate the quantification of
animal behavior at a resolution not previously imaginable. This has opened up a new field of …

Neural computation has evolved to optimize the behaviors that enable our survival. Although
much previous work in neuroscience has focused on constrained task behaviors, recent …

Acoustic signals serve communication within and across species throughout the animal
kingdom. Studying the genetics, evolution, and neurobiology of acoustic communication …

Recently developed methods in computational neuroethology have enabled increasingly
detailed and comprehensive quantification of animal movements and behavioral kinematics …

Vocalizations in animals, particularly birds, are critically important behaviors that influence
their reproductive fitness. While recordings of bioacoustic data have been captured and …

Individual-level monitoring is essential in many behavioural and bioacoustics studies.
Collecting and annotating those data is costly in terms of human effort, but necessary prior to …

Animal vocalisations serve a wide range of vital functions. Although it is possible to record
animal vocalisations with external microphones, more insights are gained from miniature …

Decoding non-human species communication offers a unique chance to explore alternative
intelligence forms using machine learning. This master thesis focuses on discreteness and …

被动声学监测通过分析鸟鸣声信息来实现物种识别, 为鸟类多样性监测提供了一种切实可行的
技术方案. 由于鸟种的鸣声复杂多变, 如何通过声纹快速准确辨别物种, 分析鸟类丰度 …

This dissertation aims to understand how geographic distance, landscape features, and
