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. ...
Predictive model of sperm whale prey capture attempts from time-depth data
Pérez-Jorge, Sergi; Oliveira, Cláudia; Iglesias Rivas, Esteban; Prieto, Rui; Cascão, Irma; Wensveen, Paul J.; Miller, Patrick J. O.; Silva, Mónica A.BackgroundHigh-resolution sound and movement recording tags offer unprecedented insights into the fine-scale foraging behaviour of cetaceans, especially echolocating odontocetes, enabling the estimation of a series of foraging metrics. However, these tags are expensive, making them inaccessible to most researchers. Time-Depth Recorders (TDRs), which have been widely used to study diving and foraging behaviour o...
