It's a BirdWeather PUC recorder! Our collaborator had one and we got to give it a test run together 😄

Exciting times ahead!

A satellite map of Bherwerre Peninsula, depicting the locations of 20 Eastern Bristlebird’s and the three dialect groups they belong to.

Several images depicting the spectrograms of three different types of Eastern Bristlebird songs known as A-songs, B-songs and Trill-songs.

Went on a treasure hunt today! #bioacoustics

For my part-time, I was tasked to configure a Song Meter and deploy it near an AudioMoth. My prof had a meeting and so drew a vague map as guide😆

Took me 10 min but I can say that a leap of blood caused me to intuitively spot the AudioMoth here😌

Definitely taking note of this, thank you!

Thank you for this! I’m familiar with Zoom F3 but wasn’t familiar with the Tascam FR-AV2. Good to see other recorder options!

Thank you for the advice! Looks like the Zoom F3 is what my project leader decided on getting 😄 Will let you know how it goes!!

Hello #bioacoustics community, I need advice on what recorder is good for focal recordings. Next post about microphone recommendation to follow. Thank you!

I was studying bird sounds using eBird Sound Quiz but got confused cuz I was hearing things not shown in the spectrogram

Then I paused the video and turns out there were birds outside my window 😆

Where does learning through imitation happen in the brain?

In juvenile zebra finches, we pinpoint a synaptic locus of song learning in a cortico-basal ganglia circuit and leverage this localization to measure the timescale of consolidation and make birds learn faster! #neuroskyence (1/14)

Hurray! First webinar of the year ☺️

Awww I was hoping for a case that has less likelihood of water leakage inside 🥲

Thanks for the info! Will stick to the usual green case then 😄

Has anyone in #bioacoustics used hydromoth cases for terrestrial PAM? Does it change the sound quality? My study site (Philippines) is very typhoon-centric and sometimes water gets inside my IPX7 case

Audiomoth retrieval and deployment for Nov 2025 #LEAFAMigratoryBirdProject

One of the straps was apparently chewed on by a shrew and I am now making it my life goal to ID that smol mammal (might borrow camera traps just for this 👀)

A score calibration approach involving quantizing embeddings and normalizing detection scores with quantization error was proposed for few-shot KWS with dynamic time warping, improving performance on KWS-DailyTalk.

Variation in Detection Distance of Eastern Black Rail (Laterallus jamaicensis jamaicensis) Vocalizations by Autonomous Recording Units Autonomous recording units (ARUs) are an emerging technology that allows for passive monitoring of soniferous animals and soundscapes. Over the past decade, ARUs have become a popular tool for monitoring birds for their potential to reduce the labor and costs of traditional in-person sampling procedures. However, uncertainty surrounding factors affecting detection of avian taxa using ARUs can inhibit their monitoring efficacy. Eastern Black Rails (Laterallus jamaicensis jamaicensis) are a secretive marsh bird listed as a federally threatened species in the U.S.A. Eastern Black Rail vocalizations are difficult to detect by field personnel, and numerous in-person surveys can be required to confirm their presence at a site. While ARUs are an alternative for detecting Eastern Black Rails, it is unknown at what maximum distance an ARU can detect their vocalizations. We evaluated factors affecting the detection distance of simulated vocalizations for ARUs in four marsh vegetation types under a range of environmental conditions. Detection distances varied across models, vocalization and vegetation types, and call volume. Kickeedo vocalizations were detected at greater distances, and detection distances increased for all vocalization types in open vegetation. High relative humidity increased detection distances, while louder background noise decreased detection distances. High wind speeds in cordgrass (Spartina spp.) decreased detection probability disproportionately relative to other vegetation types. Based on these results, considerations of survey area, vegetation type, and site condition can allow land managers and researchers to optimize Eastern Black Rail monitoring using ARUs. Given the substantial staff time needed to monitor this species, ARUs may increase the likelihood of detection and provide an efficient alternative to in-person monitoring.

Is passive acoustic monitoring worth it for terrestrial mammals? 🎙️🐨

We find it's not the one for all solution, but for vocal species, yes! It's highly effective & saves lots of time and money, especially in the long-term.
