Abstract:Monitoring the species-specific sounds produced by insects could provide us with a rapid, reliable, non-invasive measure of tropical ecosystem health and biodiversity. Although acoustic biodiversity monitoring has made rapid progress over the past decade, the focus has been mostly on vertebrates, even though insects far outnumber them, and tropical soundscapes are dominated by insect sounds. Here we provide an overview of song features for the major sound-producing insect groups, identify technological milesto… Show more
