Bioacoustics 🔊can be utilised to further our understanding of nature whether it's @edwbaker offering insights into early insect acoustics and Ensiferan biology 🦗doi.org/10.1371/journal.pone…
or how human noise impacts habitats like the Thames

Listening in to nature has changed a lot since then.
Find out how we are digitally recording animals in our gardens.

This deeply 70s recording studio at the Museum was used to record insect sounds. 🐝
We still look after the collection of sounds recorded, although the studio is long gone.

While testing some new power and ethernet connections for acoustic monitoring @NHM_London I came across some equipment from the old BM(NH) Acoustic Laboratory. Had the pleasure of naming a species first identified by a recording of its song after David Ragge a few years ago.

My PhD thesis is now available via @ResearchGate: tinyurl.com/3azvjuph.
I used eDNA and ecoacoustics to:
🦞Detect invasive/endangered crayfish & identify rivers vulnerable to invasion.
🔊Describe pond soundscape ecology/phenology, & provide guidelines for survey design.
ALT P. leniusculus and A. pallipes eDNA detections in 10 river catchments across Norfolk, UK. Ingol (IG 1-5), Cong (CG 1-5), Stiffkey (SK 1-5), Beaston Beck (BB 1-5), Wissey (WY 1-5), Wensum (WS 1-5), Bure (BR 1-5), Tud (TD 1-5), Tas (TA 1-5).
ALT Typical night-time (a) aquatic insect dominated soundscapes, and daytime (b) aquatic plant dominated soundscape. Spectrograms were created with an FFT size 2,048
ALT The influence of water temperature on P. leniusculus (red lines) detection by (a) eDNA, and (b) hand-searching, and A. pallipes (green lines) detection by (c) eDNA, and (d) hand-searching (d).
ALT Stabilisation of variance of median acoustic index values in each simulated sampling time period across 1,000 permutations.

Really happy to launch the new "Good practice guidelines for long-term #ecoacoustic #monitoring in the UK", in time for spring. Available here: researchgate.net/publication….
Produced by myself at @manchestermet and @abr_eco at @bakerconsultant. with funding from @acoustics_uk

Proposed changes to Audubon Core - note that one has possibility of setting wider precedent, and one may have implications for existing implementations.
📢Audubon core starts open comment period on January 15th (open for 30 days). Check out their GitHub Repo at github.com/tdwg/ac/milestone… #standards #TDWG

I made a @medium - expect various mini essays on interdisciplinary research, bioacoustics, etc that are a bit more popular science than purely academic (and often salvaged from another purpose) edwbaker.medium.com
