Hi Steph! It could be either - if there was anyone out there for whom this work would be a good fit for their current role, then that would be easy, but if they needed their time paying for then I have extra funds I can apply for, which I would feel fairly confident about. (read more)

Hi Wildlabbers,
We've got a fascinating paper to show you, as shared with us by Claude Miaud.
This study looks at how amphibian species use wildlife passages beneath railways, and how the inclusion of acoustic enrichment (broadcasting species-specific mating calls in the tunnels... (read more)

I'm not a bioacoustics person but StackExchange has taught me more than half of what I know about GIS as a professional. I still regularly use and recommend it to people wanting to improve their skills at any level. Perhaps there needs to be more awareness raising amongst the bioacoustics... (read more)

carlybatist posted in Reducing wind noise in AudioMoth recordings in the Acoustic Monitoring group - 29/06/2020
I second what Drue said on both fronts. Using a windscreen for any microphone is really helpful in reducing wind interference. For the Audiomoth's size, you could probably use a lavalier mic windscreen of some sort inside your case. I post-process wind interference out sometimes using bandpass... (read more)

c_malinka posted in Audiograms- the range species can hear at in the Acoustic Monitoring group - 07/05/2020
Hi Isla,
Range at which animals hear sounds depend on 4 things:
1) the frequency (pitch) of the sound of interest. As a rule of thumb, lower frequency sounds travel farther since high frequency sounds are subject to more absorption transmission losses.
2) the medium in... (read more)

What frequecy are you looking to record, how long does the mic need to run for, what is the distance between the microphone and the "listening" site? As (unless I've missed something) an off the shelf radio microphone does exactly that job. (read more)
