Acoustic surveys are a widely used sampling tool in ecological research and monitoring.
They are used to monitor populations and ecosystems and to study various aspects of …

Autonomous sound recording techniques have gained considerable traction in the last
decade, but the question remains whether they can replace human observation surveys to …

Autonomous sound recording is a promising sampling method for birds and other vocalizing
terrestrial wildlife. However, while there are clear advantages of passive acoustic monitoring …

Aim Citizen science data are increasingly used for modelling species distributions because
they offer broad spatiotemporal coverage of local observations. However, such data are …

The world is rapidly urbanizing, and many previously biodiverse areas are now mostly
composed of impervious surface. This loss of natural habitat causes local bird communities …

Resident birds in boreal forests can serve as indicators of habitat quality and are often
species of conservation interest, particularly in multifunctional forests also used for timber …

Autonomous sound recorders are increasingly used to survey birds, and other wildlife taxa.
Species richness estimates from sound recordings are usually compared with estimates …

To monitor assemblages of animals, ecologists need effective methods for detecting and
recording the distributions of species within target areas in restricted periods of time. In this …

Estimation of avian biodiversity is a cornerstone measure of ecosystem condition. Surveys
conducted using autonomous recorders are often more efficient at estimating diversity than …
