What do rivers sound like? What creatures (or otherwise) contribute to freshwater soundscapes? Our newest research, led by Katie Turlington, provides a new method to explore these types of questions. besjournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.... #bioacoustics #freshwater

A novel protocol for exploratory analysis of unknown sound‐types in large acoustic datasets

Current ecoacoustic analysis methods are unsuitable for exploring unknown sound-types in large acoustic datasets. Ecoacoustic studies can collect considerable quantities of audio with minimal fiel...

I'm excited to share our new (in press) paper on vocal individuality and acoustic recognition. We looked at Red-tailed Black-Cockatoos, Little Penguins, Little Owls, Tree Pipits and Chiffchaffs, with promising results. #bioacoustics #vocalindividuality www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

Acoustic recognition of individuals in closed and open bird populations

Passive acoustic monitoring is firmly established as an effective non-invasive technique for wildlife monitoring. The analysis of animal vocalizations…

‪Join us on campus & online on Thursday, 24 July 2025 at 1pm for a seminar by Dr Daniella Teixeira, Research Fellow from Queensland University of Technology. Details: rb.gy/xxhkpu

E&E Seminar Series: Animal listening: new approaches for using bioacoustics in conservation

Using case studies from my research on black-cockatoos and a formal partnership with Bush Heritage Australia, I will discuss how bioacoustics’ focus on machine learning and analysis over the last deca...

I did look at this option but it still seems pretty clunky and doesn’t have great functionality… 😕

Daniella Teixeira @daniteixeira.bsky.social · Jul 3

#bioacoustics community: do you know any online platforms for volunteers to join an acoustics project, validate and label acoustic data (e.g. birdnet detections, false negatives), filter for specific species etc? I asked this a few yrs ago but nothing of the sort existed...

It struck me at our #Publishing Workshop at #ICCB2025 that there is more we can do to help our authors find agency in their decision making when choosing a journal.

I highly recommend that all authors consider the following information sources when choosing a journal. 👇

No, I mean just identifying the species BUT we are working on vocal individuality too! We have a preprint out..

We haven’t talked too much about bioacoustics at this #ICCB2025, but nice plug from @drdave.bsky.social on its potential in monitoring biodiversity on farms. We’ve basically solved the species ID problem - now onto applications! #bioacoustics

@martinemaron.bsky.social squeezing How To Fix Offsets (paraphrasing) into 3 minutes. Exceptionally I might add. Key message for me was applying absolute, rather than net gain, the latter inevitably leading to more loss. Standing room only I might add! #ICCB2025 @iccb2025.bsky.social

@hugepossum.bsky.social reminds us it's critical to determine what the management actions are to save threatened species, and then we need to prioritize those actions, & consider the costs of the actions #ICCB2025
