Worldwide Soundscapes: A Synthesis of Passive Acoustic Monitoring Across Realms
Darras, Kevin F. A.; Rountree, Rodney A.; Van Wilgenburg, Steven L.; Cord, Anna F.; Pitz, Frederik; Chen, Youfang; Dong, Lijun; Rocquencourt, AgnèsAim The urgency for remote, reliable and scalable biodiversity monitoring amidst mounting human pressures on ecosystems has sparked worldwide interest in Passive Acoustic Monitoring (PAM), which can track life underwater and on land. However, we lack a unified methodology to report this sampling effort and a comprehensive overview of PAM coverage to gauge its potential as a global research and monitoring tool. ...
Integrative taxonomy clarifies the evolution of a cryptic primate clade
Elst, Tobias van; Sgarlata, Gabriele M.; Schüßler, Dominik; Tiley, George P.; Poelstra, Jelmer W.; Scheumann, Marina; Blanco, Marina B.Global biodiversity is under accelerating threats, and species are succumbing to extinction before being described. Madagascar’s biota represents an extreme example of this scenario, with the added complication that much of its endemic biodiversity is cryptic. Here we illustrate best practices for clarifying cryptic diversification processes by presenting an integrative framework that leverages multiple lines o...
