Many organizations collect large passive acoustic monitoring (PAM) data sets that need to
be efficiently and reliably analyzed. To determine appropriate methods for effective analysis …

In the last decade, the ocean has absorbed a quarter of the Earth's greenhouse gas
emissions through the carbon (C) cycle, a naturally occurring process. Aspects of the ocean …

Linking individual and population scales is fundamental to many concepts in ecology [1],
