Abstract:Acoustic playback techniques involve broadcasting of various sound stimuli to simulate the presence of a certain species. In this article, we applied a variation of the method using automatic sound-reproducing stations (ASRS), which imitate the daily vocal activity of birds that is close to natural. We investigated whether acoustic playback experiments help to examine the role of social cues for bird settlement decisions, as well as to detect the presence of rare and low-density species. Using this method, we … Show more
