Reliable estimation of the size or density of wild animal populations is very important for
effective wildlife management, conservation and ecology. Currently, the most widely used …

Ecosystems and the communities they support are changing at alarmingly rapid rates.
Tracking species diversity is vital to managing these stressed habitats. Yet, quantifying and …

Anthropogenic noise across the world's oceans threatens the ability of vocalizing marine
species to communicate. Some species vocalize at key life stages or whilst foraging, and …

Underwater noise pollution is an increasing environmental problem which might affect
communication, behaviour, fitness and consequently species' survival. The most common …

Many fishery biologists that are interested in documenting fish habitat and following the
movements and behavior of fishes use acoustic tags. Because over 700 fish species …

Different types of benthic habitats likely produce distinct soundscapes due to differences in
the physical and biological contributors to ambient sound. Despite their potential importance …

Abstract The Hauraki Gulf, a shallow embayment in north-eastern New Zealand, provides an
interesting environment for ecological soundscape research. It is situated on a tectonic plate …

Passive acoustic monitoring is a valuable tool for non-intrusive monitoring of marine
environments, also allowing the assessment of underwater noise that can negatively affect …

In this study, our goal was to perform acoustic monitoring of the May River, South Carolina
(USA), for a 9 mo period and estimate reproductive timelines for a community of soniferous …

Anthropogenic noise is considered a major underwater pollutant as increasing ocean
background noise due to human activities is impacting aquatic organisms. One of the most …
