Bioacoustics

• Bioacoustics Stack Exchange: a question & answer board about bioacoustic research and techniques.

• Bioacoustics Software Database: a list of free and paid software available for bioacoustic analyses

• Our lab’s Bioacoustics Cookbook contains “recipes” for various bioacoustics workflows and problems, including:

  • machine learning and model training examples

  • classifier-guided listening

  • calculating sunrise and sunset times

  • filtering AudioMoth files by date and time

  • converting between GPS coordinate systems

  • creating a grid of points as a KML file.

• Bioacoustic datasets:

  • Dan Morris’s compilation (scroll down to “Bioacoustic data sets”): https://lila.science/otherdatasets

  • Justin Salamon’s compilation: https://bioacousticsdatasets.weebly.com/

  • Competitions related to bioacoustic data: https://lila.science/otherdatasets#competitions-acoustic

• Bioacoustics Model Zoo: Pre-trained machine learning models for bioacoustic classification tasks, usable with OpenSoundscape

Conservation technology

• WILDLABS.net: a discussion board for general-purpose conservation technology

• Conservation Tech Directory: A general-purpose list of conservation tech resources which contains many bioacoustic resources

• AudioMoth Guide: our lab’s practical guide for how to use the AudioMoth acoustic recorder
