A combination of
bioacoustic methods and other techniques could be a cost effective way to highlight behavioral traits, confirm breeding status, and improve the accuracy of Great Gray Owl and other nocturnal surveys.
A
bioacoustics simulator lets you listen and learn how technicians analyze mysterious sounds made by wild creatures.
McKinley is the technical director of the Auditory Displays and
Bioacoustics Branch, Human Effectiveness Directorate, at the U.S.
All records are digitally preserved in the Laboratory of
Bioacoustics, Instituto de Biologia, Universidade Federal do Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.
One application of
bioacoustics is the use of passive acoustic technology to record temporal and spatial patterns of fish reproduction by detecting sounds associated with spawning (Lobel & Mann, 1995) and other behaviors associated with disturbance (Tellechea et al., 2011).
Elizabeth von Muggenthaler, a
bioacoustics researcher at Fauna Communications, has suggested that cats may purr in order to heal themselves.
New additions of 14 chapters, including flight dynamics and
bioacoustics (helpful for those completing echolocation surveying techniques), population modeling and bat migration all will appeal to the wildlife or natural resource managers.
Ornithologist Douglas Nelson, the director of the recordings collections at the Borror Laboratory of
Bioacoustics at Ohio State University in Columbus, relies on recorded sounds for his studies of dialects in white-crowned sparrows.
Fish
bioacoustics and behavior: passive acoustic detection and the application of a closed-circuit rebreather for field study.
In Localization of sounds by humans, for the Committee on Hearing,
Bioacoustics, and Biomechanics (symposium proceedings).
Individual organizations within ANSI responsible for acoustic standards include the American National Standards Committee S-I, Acoustics, on physical measurement and instrumentation; the American National Standards Committee S-3,
Bioacoustics, on methods and instrumentation to evaluate the effects of noise on people; ASTM for measurement of noise reduction of materials and building structural systems; and the Society of Automotive Engineers on measurements of noise radiated from vehicles.
With more than 40,000 animal sound recordings, the Borror Laboratory of
Bioacoustics archive (http://blb.osu.edu/database/; Ohio State University) is among the smaller archives, but contains important historic Orthoptera recordings by R.
