#bioacoustics — Public Fediverse posts

new preprint from us, about using sound to track a bat as it flies around: "Detection-Guided Beamforming for Efficient Bat Localisation" https://www.biorxiv.org/content/10.64898/2026.09.06.749406v1 #bioacoustics #spatial

💁🏻‍♀️ TIL: 🐕🗣️ In #Budapest, researchers train #dogs to bark on cue, to study whether domestication shaped vocal #learning and its ties to #speech #evolution.

Embedded in the EU-funded #K9VocLearn project, the work links to the self-#domestication hypothesis and could inform #tools that someday read dog emotion from their #sounds. A citizen #science arm invites dog owners worldwide to contribute recordings.

An extensive, artificial intelligence-driven acoustic monitoring study has determined that northern spotted owl (Strix occidentalis caurina) populations in the Pacific Northwest have crossed or are rapidly approaching functional extinction thresholds.

Raven is now free and the workbench software Cornell has developed looks very promising/ intuitive for what it is.
Next item on my to-do list - learn this stuff!!!

I guess Raven Compass is also usefull for people who just want to do a quick conversion of many files.

I'd love to hear of recent research papers you appreciated. (Not papers from your own group :) #bioacoustics #research #animalbehaviour #vihar #ibac @animal_prattle @bioacoustics

New preprint! We trained a #deeplearning #ai system to make the same judgments about sounds as #birds do, to create a new tool for #birdsong similarity: https://www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/2022.12.23.521425v1.full (The hard work here was the delicate and detailed bird #behaviour work, done by us all but led by Lies Zandberg and Rob Lachlan) #bioacoustics #vihar
