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

Tech Meets Nature Showcase kicking off now! First up, Kieran from Frontier Labs talking all things passive acoustic monitoring #bioacoustics #nationalscienceweek
A little feature on DETSI's Down to Earth blog in the lead up to National Science Week and our Tech Meets Nature showcase :D #bioacoustics www.detsi.qld.gov.au/our-departme...
This great work was led by PhD student Lifi Huang.
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...
Day for it ☀️
Thanks for having me! #bioacoustics
I did look at this option but it still seems pretty clunky and doesn’t have great functionality… 😕
#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. 👇

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
No, I mean just identifying the species BUT we are working on vocal individuality too! We have a preprint out..
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
That was a great moment.
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

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

@ahanaaurora.bsky.social et al. ( @berlinbatlab.bsky.social) show in @elife.bsky.social that feedback from moms shapes baby bat babbling

Happy to help!
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
Devastating
