Autonomous sound recording techniques have gained considerable traction in the last
decade, but the question remains whether they can replace human observation surveys to …

Aquatic environments encompass the world's most extensive habitats, rich with sounds
produced by a diversity of animals. Passive acoustic monitoring (PAM) is an increasingly …

Tropical forest recovery is fundamental to addressing the intertwined climate and
biodiversity loss crises. While regenerating trees sequester carbon relatively quickly, the …

Many ecologists have lamented the demise of natural history and have attributed this
decline to a misguided view that natural history is outdated and unscientific. Although there …

Bioacoustics has become widely used in the study of acoustically active animals, and
machine learning algorithms have emerged as efficient and effective strategies to identify …

Repeat observations underpin our understanding of environmental processes, but financial
constraints often limit scientists' ability to deploy dense networks of conventional commercial …

Managing forests for biodiversity conservation while maintaining economic output is a major
challenge globally and requires accurate and timely monitoring of imperiled species. In the …

Animals use varied acoustic signals that play critical roles in their lives. Understanding the
function of these signals may inform about key life-history processes relevant for …

There is a growing recognition that animal behavior can affect wildlife conservation, but
there have been few direct studies of animal behavior in conservation programs. However, a …

Two concurrent trends are contributing towards a much broader view of forest conservation.
First, the appreciation of the role of forests as a nature-based climate solution has grown …
