Using ecoacoustic methods to survey the impacts of climate change on biodiversity

Comparisons Between Autonomous Acoustic Recordings and Avian Point Counts in Open Woodland Savanna

“…Soundscape ecology is sometimes focused on variation in biophony (i.e. the spectral, temporal, and spatial structure of biological sounds) in relation to large-scale environmental changes such as habitat alteration, climate change, introduction of toxins, and spread of invasive species (Qi et al 2008, Sueur et al 2008b, Joo et al 2011, Pijanowski et al 2011b, Kuehne et al 2013, Tucker et al 2014, Krause and Farina 2016.…”

Towards an Interdisciplinary Focus on Sound in Ethnobiology Research

“…While the article is focused on visual markers, she opens with a quote from a community elder about changing climate causing birds to no longer make certain calls used to predict the weather (Shaffer 2014:315). This article illustrates that, peripherally, published ethnobiological studies point to the importance of sound for communities' perceptions of climate change, which soundscape ecologists are just starting to detect in their analysis (Krause and Farina 2016). The inclusion of soundscape ecology's methods of passive acoustic recording and analysis could contribute to the co-production of knowledge between researchers and collaborators.…”
