The Anthropocene is characterized by a widespread biodiversity crisis that is rivaling
prehistoric mass extinctions. Amphibians are the most threatened class of vertebrates. In …

Vocalizations of anuran amphibians have received much attention in studies of behavioral
ecology and physiology, but also provide informative characters for identifying and …

Traditionally, animal species diversity and abundance is assessed using a variety of
methods that are generally costly, limited in space and time, and most importantly, they …

Technologies to monitor species are constantly evolving including the use of acoustic
recordings to determine species presence, activity patterns and population dynamics. The …

Climate change is an important cause of the irreversible transformation of habitats, of the
rapid extinction of species, and of the dramatic changes in entire communities, especially for …

Conservation of threatened species relies on predictions about their spatial distribution;
however, it is often difficult to detect species in the wild. The combination of acoustic …

Acoustic ecology, or ecoacoustics, is a growing field that uses sound as a tool to evaluate
animal communities. In this manuscript, we evaluate recordings from eight tropical forest …

The concept of remote insect surveillance at large spatial scales for many serious insect
pests of agricultural and medical importance has been introduced in a series of our papers …

Despite several efforts to quantify the effectiveness of forest certification in developing
sustainable use of forest resources, there is little evidence that certified forests are more …

Artisanal and small-scale gold mining (ASM) is becoming a significant cause of
environmental degradation in tropical ecosystems. In this study, we conducted a rapid …
