Abundance data are used in ecology for species monitoring and conservation. These count data often display several specific characteristics like numerous missing data, high variance, and a high proportion of zeros, particularly when…

Passive acoustic monitoring (PAM) enables large-scale biodiversity assessment, but continuous recording generates large amounts of non-informative audio, creating challenges for storage, power consumption, and long-term edge deployment.…

Automated wildlife monitoring from aerial imagery is vital for conservation but remains limited by two persistent challenges: the difficulty of detecting small, rare species and the high cost of large-scale expert annotation. Prairie dogs…

1. Passive acoustic monitoring of biodiversity is growing fast, as it offers an alternative to traditional aural point count surveys, with the possibility to deploy long-term acoustic surveys in large and complex natural environments.…

The voting method, an ensemble approach for fundamental frequency estimation, is empirically known for its robustness but lacks thorough investigation. This paper provides a principled analysis and improvement of this technique. First, we…

Camera traps have become a core tool in ecological research, enabling large-scale, noninvasive monitoring of wildlife populations and behavior. By automatically recording animals as they pass within view, these devices generate massive…

Studies on the social behaviors of bats show that they have the ability to eavesdrop on the signals emitted by conspecifics in their vicinity. They can fuse this ``passive" data with actively collected data from their own signals to get…

In ornithology, bird species are known to have variedit's widely acknowledged that bird species display diverse dialects in their calls across different regions. Consequently, computational methods to identify bird species onsolely through…

This paper presents Zwitscherkasten, a DiY, multimodal system for bird species monitoring using audio and visual data on edge devices. Deep learning models for bioacoustic and image-based classification are deployed on resource-constrained…

Many biological monitoring projects rely on acoustic detection of birds. Despite increasingly large datasets, this detection is often manual or semi-automatic, requiring manual tuning/postprocessing. We review the state of the art in…

The occurrence and distributions of wildlife populations and communities are shifting as a result of global changes. To evaluate whether these shifts are negatively impacting biodiversity processes, it is critical to monitor the status,…

Birds produce multiple types of vocalizations that, together, constitute a vocal repertoire. For some species, the repertoire size is of importance because it informs us about their brain capacity, territory size or social behaviour.…

Autonomous recording units and passive acoustic monitoring present minimally intrusive methods of collecting bioacoustics data. Combining this data with species agnostic bird activity detection systems enables the monitoring of activity…

Citizen science databases that consist of volunteer-led sampling efforts of species communities are relied on as essential sources of data in ecology. Summarizing such data across counties with frequentist-valid prediction sets for each…

Researches on sequential vocalization often require analysis of vocalizations in long continuous sounds. In such studies as developmental ones or studies across generations in which days or months of vocalizations must be analyzed, methods…

Insect population numbers and biodiversity have been rapidly declining with time, and monitoring these trends has become increasingly important for conservation measures to be effectively implemented. But monitoring methods are often…

Advances in passive acoustic monitoring and machine learning have led to the procurement of vast datasets for computational bioacoustic research. Nevertheless, data scarcity is still an issue for rare and underrepresented species. This…

Automatic Singing Assessment and Singing Information Processing have evolved over the past three decades to support singing pedagogy, performance analysis, and vocal training. While the first approach objectively evaluates a singer's…

The persisting threats on migratory bird populations highlight the urgent need for effective monitoring techniques that could assist in their conservation. Among these, passive acoustic monitoring is an essential tool, particularly for…

The accessibility of long-duration recorders, adapted to sometimes demanding field conditions, has enabled the deployment of extensive animal population monitoring campaigns through ecoacoustics. The effectiveness of automatic signal…
