Bioacoustics 🔊can be utilised to further our understanding of nature whether it's @edwbaker offering insights into early insect acoustics and Ensiferan biology 🦗doi.org/10.1371/journal.pone… or how human noise impacts habitats like the Thames nhm.ac.uk/visit/exhibitions/…

This deeply 70s recording studio at the Museum was used to record insect sounds. 🐝 We still look after the collection of sounds recorded, although the studio is long gone.

While testing some new power and ethernet connections for acoustic monitoring @NHM_London I came across some equipment from the old BM(NH) Acoustic Laboratory. Had the pleasure of naming a species first identified by a recording of its song after David Ragge a few years ago.

My PhD thesis is now available via @ResearchGate: tinyurl.com/3azvjuph. I used eDNA and ecoacoustics to: 🦞Detect invasive/endangered crayfish & identify rivers vulnerable to invasion. 🔊Describe pond soundscape ecology/phenology, & provide guidelines for survey design.
P. leniusculus and A. pallipes eDNA detections in 10 river catchments across Norfolk, UK. Ingol (IG 1-5), Cong (CG 1-5), Stiffkey (SK 1-5), Beaston Beck (BB 1-5), Wissey (WY 1-5), Wensum (WS 1-5), Bure (BR 1-5), Tud (TD 1-5), Tas (TA 1-5).

Typical night-time (a) aquatic insect dominated soundscapes, and daytime (b) aquatic plant dominated soundscape. Spectrograms were created with an FFT size 2,048
