      Sethi, Sarab Singh; Bick, Ian Avery; Chen, Ming-Yuan; Crouzeilles, Renato; Hillier, Ben V.; Lawson, Jenna; Lee, Chia-Yun; Liu, Shih-Hao; de Freitas Parruco, Celso Henrique; Rosten, Carolyn; Somveille, Marius; Tuanmu, Mao-Ning; Banks-Leite, Cristina (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2024)
      Tracking biodiversity and its dynamics at scale is essential if we are to solve global environmental challenges. Detecting animal vocalizations in passively recorded audio data offers an automatable, inexpensive, and ...
    • Limits to the accurate and generalizable use of soundscapes to monitor biodiversity 

      Sethi, Sarab S.; Bick, Ian Avery; Ewers, Robert M.; Klinck, Holger; Ramesh, Vijay; Tuanmu, Mao-Ning; Coomes, David A. (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)
      Although eco-acoustic monitoring has the potential to deliver biodiversity insight on vast scales, existing analytical approaches behave unpredictably across studies. We collated 8,023 audio recordings with paired manual ...
    • Snowmobile noise alters bird vocalization patterns during winter and pre-breeding season
