@ORF_Niederoesterreich Nice to see our research covered. #tech4wildlife

Diese Woche im Radio:
Ö1 Vom Leben der Natur:
KI für die Natur https://oe1.orf.at/programm/20240909/768970/KI-fuer-die-Natur-1

Finally we got our #SilentCities dataset published!
With 261 colleagues around the globe we collected audio when human isolation during the #covid19 pandemic had drastically changed the #soundscape of the urban ecosystem. Birds vs cars #tech4wildlife

Artificial Intelligence will change the field of Environmental Assessment – but are we ready for it?
What are the risks involved and what do we need to harness its power to help overcome the challenges of biodiversity 🌳 and habitat loss? https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.1080/14615517.2024.2318684

Thanks to Phil Atkin we have our first
pi-pistrelle time-expanding bat detectors running! Ready for some ultrasonic adventures. #tech4wildlife

@piratenpanda Danke für die Bildbeschreibung!

@balou19812 Die Daten sind vom 31.12.18 und 1.1.18 ;-) (geändert) Da an diesem Silvester wenig Regenwolken den Radar störten.

@balou19812 Leider funktioniert das GIF nicht. Die Animation zeigt sonst den zeitlichen Verlauf der Vogelaktivität von 23:00 (31.12) bis 2:00 (1.1)
.

Was fliegt morgen noch mit den Böllern durch die dunkle Nacht? Auf diesem Vogelradar leuchten die Niederlande um kurz nach 12 Uhr auf, weil fast 400,000 Vögel auffliegen und fliehen! Über eine Stunde und das ganze Land werden Millionen (nicht nur) Vögel aufgescheucht. Die Auswirkungen unseres Handelns sind nicht immer direkt sichtbar für uns. #silvesterohneboeller

Wild christmas | Wilde Weihnachten 🎄🐐

Two days of BirdLife Austria conference are over. Great talks and new ideas. #tech4wildlife

Today we talk live on Ö1 Punkt eins about our dear little deer #capreolus #roedeer #rehwild. Looking forward to discussing with Barbara Zeithammer and Rudolf Neumaier: https://oe1.orf.at/programm/20230802/728862/Vorsicht-Reh

PHYLOPIC 2.0 HAS BEEN OFFICIALLY RELEASED! Check out the new, faster, more useful version here, with 6320 free silhouettes (and counting): https://www.phylopic.org

Do you have recordings from multiple microphones? Or do you just want to run a simple call detection algorithm or trace the fundamental frequency? Our new R package might be able to do just that. Read the preprint on BioRxiv: https://doi.org/10.1101/2023.02.07.527470. Any questions are very welcome either here, by email or as an issue on GitHub. Thanks to Stephen Tyndel, Barbara Klump, Gustavo Alarcon-Nieto and Lucy Aplin for all their hard work!

After recording the stream above, I did a little more refinement of my #QGIS style, improving rendering speed, improving the texture, embedding the SVGs and adding a drop shadow. If you want to try it out, I have shared it here:

#Job alert! #Academia

Hey, my still small Mastodon bubble.

I have a 3-years #postdoc position open.

Developing biodiversity indicators; science-policy interactions to identify needs + more;

EU-project led by Quentin Groom
incl. GBIF @gbif
Pensoft
and + more

Come and work with me 🙂

Recently, I've been talking with the people at #MoveApps https://www.moveapps.org/

Let's just say “Based on community demands and as part of ongoing projects, Python will be integrated next" (quote: https://movementecologyjournal.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.1186/s40462-022-00327-4 )

Next level:
Für unser gemeinsames Biodiversitätsprojekt www.trittsteinbiotope.at testen wir gerade mit den MitarbeiterInnen des Bundesforschungszentrum für Wald (BFW) Kamerafallenmontagen in luftiger Höhe. Wir wollen damit die tierischen Bewohner von Baumhöhlen störungsfrei dokumentieren.

Using the custom sunrise and sunset settings and locating animal positions with this synchronised WAV files sounds great. #tech4wildlife #bioacoustics
