An Audiomoth set in a pine woodland

Spectrogram of Common Pipistrelle recorded on a pippyg device at Helmsdale hostel.

#Bioacoustics formed a big part of last week's Sutherland field trip. Students recorded birds on @openacousticdevices.info #Audiomoths (analysed with @chirpity-nocmig.bsky.social), used heterodyne bat detectors and set a PIPPYG by the digs - with Common Pipistrelles on both.

Our master’s student, Csenge, was accepted to the ASAB Spring Meeting, where she presented a poster on her research.
She is studying how different internal states and head shape affect dog vocalizations.

Nonlinear phenomena are common elements of mammalian vocalizations. Resulting from irregular sound production, they contribute to perceived harshness and are often present in calls conveying urgency or arousal. Read the #PhilTransB review: doi.org/10.1098/rstb... #bioacoustics

Is plant acoustic communication fact or fiction? In recent years, the idea has flourished that plants emit and perceive sound and could even be capable of exchanging information through the acoustic channel. While research into plant bioacoustics i...

"Is plant acoustic communication fact or fiction?" is among the most read research published in New Phytologist in 2024 and 2025 👇. No evidence of plants communicating via acoustics. Great to see so much interest in debunking this myth 😃 .

Just some of the birds I’ve heard this afternoon on my lunchtime walk. Glad to say that spring is here, and the chiffchaffs are going mental! I wonder when the hirundines will join us? @angliaruskin.bsky.social #ARUWrittle @birdsoftheworld.bsky.social #BirdCalls #Bioacoustics

New study on the Gola-REDD+ initiative in #SierraLeone shows that #carbonfinance can help boost #biodiversity too 🌍

Use of #Bioacoustics and #DNAmetabarcoding found that REDD+ funded areas outperformed both community lands and non-funded protected areas 🧵

The sounds of emotions - Elodie Briefer

🔊 Listen to the episode to understand how deeply emotions permeate communication and how recognizing these cues can change our relationship with animals.

Because the World has always spoken, we just need to listen.

Eavesdropping on #beakedwhales in great depths

In January, some of our colleagues went to #ElHierro

The goal: To quantify the click parameters of endangered beaked whales at 1 km depth, successfully testing a #deepwater #acousticarray system that can be deployed from small boats!

Tiny recording backpacks reveal bats’ surprising hunting strategy By listening in on their nightly hunts, scientists discovered that small, fringe-lipped bats are unexpectedly able to efficiently take down prey nearly their own size.
