It is realy great that this publication is open access.
Dig into underwater acoustics and up to date research on marine mammals.

Next entry in the great #bioacoustics books.
The descriptions of the experiments and the fundamental theories is what makes this book special to me.
Only complaint I have is that some long and winding sentences to describe acoustic phenomena could have been better described as equations.
Still an absolute must read for anyone interested in the topic.
January has been quite busy for me, but the good kind of busy.
I am currently working on an application for a project with colleagues from Hamburg which gives me joy and excitement for my work I haven't had in a long time.
During the weekend I was looking into further resoruces on the topics of #ecoacoustics and #bioacoustics and thought I share this:

On this note: can someone reccomend a course/ training regarding this fields or something related like landscape ecology?
"This week, 122 bird vocalizations were detected over a 24-hour period. Nine species were heard, including common redpolls, black-capped chickadees, a barred owl and a gold-crowned kinglet, a tiny songbird that is chickadee-like for its ability to survive extreme cold."
A device installed at Sax-Zim Bog delivers bird songs to followers in real time. Others to come will aid conservation efforts.

Realy intersting talk and a good overview on the current state/ problems. Loved the input about the footprint and repurposing/ upcycling old tech. Thanks a lot
On this note: I know Udo Noll is using Raspberries as listening stations/ BirdNet stations in nature reserves here in Germany and has a lot of experience with mapping and repurposing tech. Here are his main projects:

I was really pleased to be at the "Climate AI Nordics" workshop. Here's my talk, putting our AI-for-nature together with climate footprint questions: "Bioacoustic AI for nature: how can it tread lightly?" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8gcpKav1xBg #ai4good #aifornature #bioacoustics

New blog! "How animals stay together through sound" https://bioacousticai.eu/how-animals-stay-together-through-sound/ #bioacoustics #animalbehavior
Anfang Oktober geben Eeva Ojanperä (https://www.eevaojanperae.de/) und ich einen Workshop zum Thema Field Recording und Akustik. Die Anmeldung und das weitere Programm finden sich bald auf der Website:
https://range-festival.de/
Ich freue mich sehr Teil des Festivals sein zu können und bin auch schon auf die Installationen und Konzerte gespannt.

Migration season is upon us. Recorded these Starlings when taking a break on our holiday trip quite close to the Autobahn. The constant chatter and imitation of other birds is so fantastic.

Fantastic talk by MSc student Isabella Rojas, illustrating her use of Transformers to identify hundreds of species in New Zealand soundscapes, with the use of a customised frequency scale to include ultrasonic audio too. #ibac2025 #bioacoustics
I'm on route to #ibac2025! Via some big German train stations. #bioacoustics
