Re: [MARMAM] royalty free photo of Balaena mysticetus
dear all, I would thank all those who offered photos of bowhead whales for the guide of our Museum. I thank you all for your kind contributes. Some good images have been chosen among those sent by NOAA and we will acknowledge the contributor directly. With regard to the history of the bones of our Museum, I can tell you that they arrived in 1783 sent to Lazzaro Spallanzani by Giuseppe Alessandro Brambilla, surgeon of the emperor of Austria Joseph II. According to Luigi Cagnolaro (our major whales expert, who died few years ago), these are the only bones from Greenland whales found in an Italian museum.

[MARMAM] Searching annotated/labeled audio files of cetacean vocalizations
dear all, I'm searching public, free accessible, or private sound libraries, either accessible for free or with fees, with collections of identified and labeled/annotated cetacean species vocalizations. This is a preliminary survey to locate possible sources of species-specific vocalizations to exercise with species recognition programs. For this type of application it is required to have at least hundreds of identified vocalizations for each species, with "annotated files" where each individual sound is identified and labelled; another option is to have a collection of files each one containing only one sound unit. By searching on google many sound libriaries pop up, but only Mobysound appears to have what I search. Any info about other sources will be highly appreciated. Recordings of tonal sounds are highly preferred. thanks in advance Gianni Pavan -- Centro Interdisciplinare di Bioacustica e Ricerche Ambientali Dipartimento di Scienze della Terra e dell'Ambiente Università degli Studi di Pavia Via Taramelli 24, 27100 Pavia http://www.unipv.it/cibra http://mammiferimarini.unipv.it ___ MARMAM mailing list MARMAM@lists.uvic.ca https://lists.uvic.ca/mailman/listinfo/marmam

[MARMAM] New Report Available
Dear colleagues, on behalf of my coauthors I'm pleased to announce the availability of the final report of a project granted by ACCOBAMS: *OVERVIEW OF THE NOISE HOTSPOTS IN THE ACCOBAMS AREA* *Part I – Mediterranean Sea* Alessio MAGLIO, Gianni PAVAN, Manuel CASTELLOTE Silvia FREY Short Abstract: Identifying areas of high anthropogenic pressure on the marine environment is a key element for an effective environmental management and for mitigating impacts. As underwater noise is considered a major threat for cetaceans, the ACCOBAMS Agreement has undertaken a work aiming at identifying noise hotspots and areas of potential conflicts with cetacean conservation. The global aim of this project is to gather baseline knowledge on noise-producing human activities in the Mediterranean Sea.

[MARMAM] ERICE 2013 - deadline extension
dear all, the deadline for the abstract submission for the Erice workshop has been extended until June 23rd. After the deadline the acceptance of new registrations will be still possible but conditioned by available places. The program of the workshop and the list of invited lectures is available here: http://www.unipv.it/cibra/FlyerErice2013_small.pdf Please distribute it to anyone interested. *The interdisciplinary workshop Cetacean echolocation and outer space neutrinos: ethology and physics for an interdisciplinary approach to underwater bioacoustics and detection of astrophysical particles will be held in October 2013, 18th-21st, in Erice, Sicily, hosted by the School of Ethology of the Ettore Majorana Centre. * The development of underwater ocean observatories has stimulated new interactions between disparate disciplines to optimize their sensors, layout and protocols. One of the most promising synergies has come from interactions between astrophysicists working to detect light and acoustic signals from neutrinos and marine biologists listening to the sounds of marine animals (Nosengo, Nature 462, December 2009). The workshop is intended to join these different disciplines in the understanding of the underwater acoustic world and in the development of common research strategies and protocols to exploit the potential of Submarine Multidisciplinary Observatiories (learn more on the SMO project at http://web2.infn.it/smo/). The workshop will focus on the study of the acoustic behaviour of marine mammals, on the acoustic detection of neutrinos in the sea, on the sharing of detection technologies, and on the related technological challenges with a wide interdisciplinary approach. The expected audience would come from different disciplines, mainly marine biology, marine bioacoustics, acoustics, mathematics, acoustical oceanography, astroparticle physics and embraces many science fields related with the study, monitoring and conservation of the marine environment. Top scientists will present the state of the art in their peculiar disciplines and selected contributes will be presented by participants in a context open to discussion and knowledge sharing. Researchers, scientists, and students are all welcome in the exciting atmosphere of Erice to discuss their projects, results and ideas.

[MARMAM] Workshop on cetacean acoustics, Erice 2013, first announcement
*1st Announcement* On behalf of the Organizing Committee composed by G.Pavan, P.Tyack, G.Riccobene and W.Barletta, I'm glad to announce an interdisciplinary high level workshop hosted by the School of Ethology of the Ettore Majorana Centre, entitled Cetacean echolocation and outer space neutrinos: ethology and physics for an interdisciplinary approach to underwater bioacoustics and detection of astrophysical particles to be held in October 2013, 18th-21st in Erice, Sicily. The development of underwater ocean observatories has stimulated new interactions between disparate disciplines to optimize the their sensors and layout. Observatories based upon underwater cables are expensive to install and difficult to move, but they offer particular promise for long term observational data sets unlike any gathered to date. The cost and opportunity argue for planning and technical exchanges from as broad an array of disciplines as possible. One of the least predictable synergies has come from interactions between astrophysicists working to detect light and acoustic signals from neutrinos and marine biologists listening to the sounds of marine animals (Nosengo, Nature 462, December 2009). The workshop will focus on the study of the acoustic behaviour of marine mammals, on the acoustic detection of neutrinos in the sea, on the sharing of detection technologies, and on the related technological challenges with a wide interdisciplinary approach. The workshop is intended to join these different disciplines in the understanding of the underwater acoustic world and in the development of common research strategies and protocols. On one side high level technologies will be explored to improve acoustic detection capabilities, to serve both biological and physical studies. On the other side, the workshop will explore the sensory and cognitive skills that have allowed mammals to successfully exploit the marine environment and to evolve as top predators there by using acoustics. The expected audience would come from different disciplines, mainly marine biology, marine bioacoustics, ethology, acoustics, mathematics, acoustical oceanography, astroparticle physics and embraces many science fields related with the study, monitoring and conservation of the marine environment. Top scientists will present the state of the art in their peculiar disciplines and selected contributes will be presented by participants in a context open to discussion and knowledge sharing.

[MARMAM] XXI IBAC - International Bioacoustic Congress - First announcement
First Announcement __ XXI IBAC - International Bioacoustic Congress CIBRA, University of Pavia, 15-18 September 2007 __ The XXI International BioAcoustic Congress will be held in the historical buildings of the University of Pavia, Italy, where Spallanzani in the 18th century studied the ability of bats to fly in the dark. The Congress is organized, for the third time, by CIBRA, the Interdisciplinary Center for Bioacoustics and Environmental Research, University of Pavia. The subject of bioacoustics is principally a marriage between the fields of biology and physical acoustics. Given its multidisciplinary nature, the Congress aims to bring together, in informal settings, biologists from different specialisms (ethologists, physiologists, taxonomists, ecologists, etc) with engineers, sound archivists and amateur sound recordists, to foster discussion and exchange of ideas. During the Congress the 2nd European workshop on animal sound research and libraries will be held. The workshop will be organized by CIBRA for the European Network of Bioacoustic Collections for Taxonomy, Systematics and Conservation. The network was created based on the agreement of experts who attended the 1st workshop at the Fonoteca Zoologica (Madrid), 27-30 September 2006, to foster cooperation among institutions, researchers and interested amateurs to safeguard animal sound recordings and to optimise their use as a resource for research and nature conservation. The Congress is based on thematic symposia that will cover both the traditional research areas and new emerging themes. To date, five symposia are planned: Advanced tools for sound recording and analysis (G.Pavan et al.) In-air communication in mammals (I.Charrier and D.Reby) Monitoring the Environment: Bioacoustics as a tool for inventory and monitoring of biodiversity (K.Frommolt, et al.) The impacts of anthropogenic noise (Y.Yan, et al.) Animal communication networks: from behaviour to brain (T.Aubin N.Mathevon) Organizing Committee Gianni Pavan, Claudio Fossati, Michele Manghi, Marco Priano Scientific Committee Richard Ranft, Nicolas Mathevon, Isabelle Charrier, Thierry Aubin, Hong Young Yan, Matija Gogala, David Helweg, Dietmar Todt, Rafael Marquez, Karl-Heinz Frommolt, Gianni Pavan, Guido Pinoli, Michela Podestà Proceedings Selected paper will be published in a special Congress issue of the Bioacoustics journal. Deadlines Abstract Submission should be made no later than May, 20th. Details will be published soon. Presenting Authors should indicate their preferred presentation type, talk or poster; the final decision will be taken by the Scientific Committee; Authors will be informed within 20 days after the deadline.
