What does a detection mean? Spatial and behavioural context improves the use of passive acoustic monitoring for the conservation of a wide-ranging bird
DownloadFall 2021
The culture of ecology is shifting towards collaborative, integrative approaches that use ‘big data’ to solve big problems. Passive acoustic monitoring (PAM) has the potential to play a role in this new paradigm because it uses in-situ autonomous recording units (ARUs) to collect a permanent...
