The World Ecoacoustics Congress 2026 is happening this August in Gimuy (Cairns, Australia) 🔊🌏🧪 Registrations & call for abstracts are NOW OPEN! Submit your poster, speed, or open talk 🔗 Check the website: ecoacoustics2026.org 🧵👇 More info below #Ecoacoustics #WEC2026 @is-ecoacoustics.bsky.social

Is passive acoustic monitoring worth it for terrestrial mammals? 🎙️🐨 We find it's not the one for all solution, but for vocal species, yes! It's highly effective & saves lots of time and money, especially in the long-term. Find out more: doi.org/10.1111/2041... 🔈🦊🧪🌎 @methodsinecoevol.bsky.social

🦜BirdNET: Tips, Tricks, and Insights for Ecoacoustic Analysis 📺Learn about best practices and common pitfalls in managing data on BirdNET w/ @openecoacoustics.bsky.social @callanalexander.bsky.social, Philip Eichinski & Dr Nina Scarpelli @cornellbirds.bsky.social www.youtube.com/watch?v=aml3...

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...

Who's your indicator species actually indicating for? That's what we set out to answer in our new paper using over 800k hours of #acoustic data! 🧪🦤🔊🌐🌎 Spoiler: Indicator species can be effective #biodiversity surrogates, but spatial scale matters! Check it out here: doi.org/10.1111/cobi...

Very cool velvet worm! And great contest in New Zealand to help people learn more about bugs. 🌎 www.theguardian.com/world/2025/f...

BirdNET embeddings can identify new sound classes beyond its training set, aiding invasive species monitoring, biodiversity surveys, and detecting threatened species across vertebrate groups while requiring minimal call examples and manual validation. Find out more: doi.org/10.3389/fevo... 🔈🪶🦊🐸🦎🧪🌎

When interacting with wildlife we should ask: “How might the animal be affected by my actions?” 
🔎 We explored how juvenile green turtles respond to handling stress by using animal-borne cameras & drones 🌟Turtles swam excessively for 90 min after release Find out more: doi.org/10.1002/ece3... 🌎🐢🧪

A major challenge in restoration ecology is the widespread belief that there is a correct natural community for any given location, and that identifying it is the first step in recreating it. 1/6

✅ Do you use R or Python? ✅ Are you an ecologist/biologist? Then you might find our website ALA Labs useful! ALA Labs is full of how-to articles to visualise or analyse biodiversity data. Some are for beginners, others are advanced/experimental 😀 labs.ala.org.au 🧪🌏 #rstats #python #quartopub

#Bioacoustics researchers: what's your go-to software for viewing/validating/labelling large datasets? Anything that can handle info from multiple audio files (i.e. 100s of files) in one place, display them all nicely for easy viewing?

That @ipbes.bsky.social report is so relevant and massively important. From policy makers to individuals, pinpointing the underlying causes of the dual climate/biodiversity crisis and their interconnectedness will be key to reach tangible solutions. Solid work from all scientists involved! 🌐🧪

cool. XC will open up for strongly labelled recordings like these somewhere in 2025. #bioacoustics

Due to the distinctive alarm call of the kookas I am now aware of how many Bobtails cross my road almost every day. Once it was a dugite and once a Varanus tristis but the fury was the same #WildOz and

Strongly agree with this letter in Science arguing that field-based research should be more highly and fairly valued in academia. www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

#Microplastics: billions of vehicles worldwide shed an estimated 6 million tonnes of tyre fragments every year. These tiny flakes of plastic eventually accumulate in the soil, in rivers and lakes, and even in our food.

Hi everyone! I’m a postdoctoral researcher working on #AcousticEcology at JCU in Australia. In a nutshell, I listen to the sounds of the bush to figure out what animals are around. Here’s a video of one of the most adorable frogs calling, the Bornean tree hole frog (Metaphrynella sundana).
