What do rivers sound like? What creatures (or otherwise) contribute to freshwater soundscapes? Our newest research, led by Katie Turlington, provides a new method to explore these types of questions. besjournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.... #bioacoustics #freshwater

A novel protocol for exploratory analysis of unknown sound‐types in large acoustic datasets

Current ecoacoustic analysis methods are unsuitable for exploring unknown sound-types in large acoustic datasets. Ecoacoustic studies can collect considerable quantities of audio with minimal fiel...

I'm excited to share our new (in press) paper on vocal individuality and acoustic recognition. We looked at Red-tailed Black-Cockatoos, Little Penguins, Little Owls, Tree Pipits and Chiffchaffs, with promising results. #bioacoustics #vocalindividuality www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

Acoustic recognition of individuals in closed and open bird populations

Passive acoustic monitoring is firmly established as an effective non-invasive technique for wildlife monitoring. The analysis of animal vocalizations…

‪Join us on campus & online on Thursday, 24 July 2025 at 1pm for a seminar by Dr Daniella Teixeira, Research Fellow from Queensland University of Technology. Details: rb.gy/xxhkpu

#bioacoustics community: do you know any online platforms for volunteers to join an acoustics project, validate and label acoustic data (e.g. birdnet detections, false negatives), filter for specific species etc? I asked this a few yrs ago but nothing of the sort existed...

It struck me at our #Publishing Workshop at #ICCB2025 that there is more we can do to help our authors find agency in their decision making when choosing a journal. I highly recommend that all authors consider the following information sources when choosing a journal. 👇 #OpenAccess 🧪

Always devastating to “see” Australia’s extinct fauna. Gone forever. John Woinarski presenting the evidence for the impact of invasive species, esp cats and foxes, on native mammals. #iccb2025

We haven’t talked too much about bioacoustics at this #ICCB2025, but nice plug from @drdave.bsky.social on its potential in monitoring biodiversity on farms. We’ve basically solved the species ID problem - now onto applications! #bioacoustics

Romney Edwards-Francis discusses movement, connectivity, and genetic diversity of red-tailed tropicbirds, following population founding on Lady Elliot Is in 1983. All returned fledglings that reached breeding age are male. #seabirds #ICCB2025 🪶

"Extinction is a choice and one we don't have to accept." Arabella Eyre gives us a powerful reminder that 1% of Aust GDP would achieve this and highlights the extensive work undertaken to try to save the Leadbeater's possum #ICCB2025

Fantastic first day at #ICCB25! Wonderful to connect with colleagues old and new, and forge new ideas. Love the eco friendly name tags too 👌🏼

@martinemaron.bsky.social squeezing How To Fix Offsets (paraphrasing) into 3 minutes. Exceptionally I might add. Key message for me was applying absolute, rather than net gain, the latter inevitably leading to more loss. Standing room only I might add! #ICCB2025 @iccb2025.bsky.social

@hugepossum.bsky.social reminds us it's critical to determine what the management actions are to save threatened species, and then we need to prioritize those actions, & consider the costs of the actions #ICCB2025

Glossy black-cockatoos giving their soft contact calls amidst the meditative chorus of bell miners, delightful. #bioacoustics

🦇👶 batble 👶🦇 @ahanaaurora.bsky.social et al. ( @berlinbatlab.bsky.social) show in @elife.bsky.social that feedback from moms shapes baby bat babbling via "longitudinal ... recordings & behavioral monitoring of ... mother-pup pairs across [multiple colonies]" 🤯 lotta data! #prattle 💬 #bioacoustics

Ahana Aurora Fernandez@ahanaaurora.bsky.social · last yr.

Ever wondered how baby bats learn to sing? 🦇🎶 Turns out, their moms support their practice! Our study shows that maternal feedback leads to: More vocal practice Higher song syllable versatility More mature song syllables 🔗https://elifesciences.org/articles/99474 elifesciences.org/digests/9947...

I'm using BirdNET (default & custom) for almost every project now. It blows my mind how easy ML has become. To think of all the years I spent learning how to build recognisers in monitoR, Kaleidoscope, Arbimon etc ... now I can focus on the fun stuff - answering ecological questions! #bioacoustics

Time to listen to mangroves! #bioacoustics

Preprints in ecology/conservation - yay or nay?

Summer monitoring season in full swing - let’s find those glossy black-cockatoos! #bioacoustics

UPDATE: After almost a decade of using Raven Pro, I just learnt how to review selections from multiple audio files in a single view 😲 Basically, you just need a single selection table. Let me explain... #bioacoustics

#Bioacoustics researchers: what's your go-to software for viewing/validating/labelling large datasets? Anything that can handle info from multiple audio files (i.e. 100s of files) in one place, display them all nicely for easy viewing?

Hey Bluesky 👋🏻 Finally made it. I’m a conservation bioacoustics researcher. I spend most days figuring out better ways to measure biodiversity from sound. Pic of a glossy black-cockatoo, a threatened species I’m privileged to study. #conservation
