    Passive acoustic monitoring provides a fresh perspective on fundamental ecological questions

    Passive acoustic monitoring provides a fresh perspective on fundamental ecological questions

    In this podcast for Functional Ecology, Frank Harris sits down with Samuel Ross and Darren O’Connell to discuss their recently published review article in Functional Ecology—Passive acoustic monitoring provides a fresh perspective on fundamental ecological questions.

    Sam and Darren hope their review paper motivates the use of passive acoustic monitoring approaches to think about blue-skies research and the grand challenges affecting our planet, because much of what we can learn by recording and experiencing natural soundscapes is fundamental to our knowledge of life on earth.

I would love to see more frequent updates. These are well done and sorely needed. Ecology as a science is poorly represented among podcasts.

Sound Quality

Good content, but I would recommend not recording audio with a ti84 calculator.
