-- sorry for cross-posting -- 

Dear all, 

It is my pleasure to announce the contest >spectro(2018) , a friendly and 
informal contest for the best spectrogram generated with R code. 

The spectrogram is a 2D/3D key visualisation tool for bioacoustics, 
ecoacoustics and other sound related disciplines. The spectrogram is not only 
useful for science, it can also be a nice graphical object with delicate shapes 
and colours. 

The aim of this contest is to share the beautiful sounds, R codes and 
spectrograms you may have in your files so that it can help others to produce 
nice graphics and figures. 

But overall, the idea is to join science, fun, and maybe the arts! 

Here are some information about the organization of the contest: 

. deadline : 15 September 2018 
. application: a single submission per candidate; send wav sound + R code + png

Analysis of ecoacoustic recordings, session at International Conference on Ecological Informatics, Germany, September 24-28 -- DEADLINE EXTENDED to APRIL 15

[Jérôme SUEUR]

SUBMISSION DEADLINE EXTENDED to APRIL 15, 2018. 

Dear colleagues, 

We are pleased to announce a session entitled "Analysis of ecoacoustic 
recordings: detection, segmentation and classification" at the next 
International Conference on Ecological Informatics to be held in Jena, 
Germany, September 24-28. All information about conference organisation is 
available at http://icei2018.uni-jena.de 

This session mainly aims at sharing technical developments in sound analysis 
for ecoacoustic research (see abstract below). 

We are very keen on reading your abstracts that should be submitted before 
March, 18 at http://icei2018.uni-jena.de/calls/ 

Do no hesitate to contact us if you have any query. 

We look forward to meeting you in Jena, 

Best regards,

Abstract - Ecoacoustics is a newly emerged discipline that aims at tackling 
ecological research questions through the lens of sound analysis. Ecoacoustics 
covers several questions in marine, freshwater and terrestrial environments 
dealing with biodiversity monitoring, population ecology, community ecology and 
landscape ecology. One of the key approaches of ecoacoustics consists in 
identifying sounds of ecological importance in environmental recordings that 
were collected in an unattended way by automatic recorders. This search task is 
made difficult by the occurrence of background noise due to human activities, 
the co-occurrence of several sounds of interest, the degradation of the sounds 
of interest related to their propagation in the environment, a high-degree of 
variability of the sounds of interest, a large amount of data, and a lack of 
reference archives. Solutions including computer processes are currently in 
development to try to get around these difficulties. This session will be the 
occasion to report and share new techniques involving signal analysis, machine 
learning, deep learning and high dimension statistics for advances in 
detection, segmentation, supervised and unsupervised classification of sound 
events.

Audio and video monitoring of tropical animal diversity: new insights and new 
challenges 

Jérôme Sueur, Alice C. Hughes, Patrick A. Jansen 

Monitoring animal diversity is a key challenge of tropical ecology, as getting 
reliable information on 
species ecology in a standardised manner across space and time is challenging. 
Furthermore the 
rarity of some species and challenging landscapes and ecosystems can make 
direct observations and 
captures difficult. Yet understanding species distributions, their populations 
and their movements and 
the communities or landscape they belong to is essential information to not 
only understand their 
ecology bit also to ensure they are adequately protected into the future. 
However, recent noninvasive techniques based on audio and video autonomous 
sensors open the 
possibility to sample tropical environments over large areas and long time 
periods in a consistent and 
reliable manner. Such digital data acquired remotely and automatically returns 
valuable information on 
animal behaviour, animal distribution, animal community composition, and even 
landscape structure. 
In this session, we will report the most recent finding in terms of audio and 
video monitoring and 
discuss about the possible challenges in terms of data collection, sampling 
design, supervised and 
unsupervised automatic identification of species, and ecological indices. We 
will also show that these 
data can be used as an attractive media to raise public awareness about 
tropical diversity and 
conservation. We will aim to conclude the session with a presentation of the 
integration of these 
different types of techniques to obtain a holistic understanding of the 
potential of these technologies.

sound analysis with R

[Jérôme Sueur]

Dear all,

I would like to draw your attention on the release of a new version of
seewave, an R package dedicated to sound analysis.

Since its first release almost 3 years ago, seewave has been
significantly improved including now around 80 end-user functions.

If you are interested and wish to get details, please visit the
dedicated seewave
webpage.

seewave, as any R package, is free and open-source. Any new
contribution will then very welcome. Please note that R can import C,
C++ and FORTRAN code.

Best regards,

Jerome

Rapid Acoustic Survey for Biodiversity Appraisal
by J Sueur, S Pavoine, O Hamarlynck, S Duvail

Biodiversity assessment remains one of the most difficult challenges 
encountered by ecologists and conservation biologists. This task is 
becoming even more urgent with the current increase of habitat loss. 
Many methods–from rapid biodiversity assessments (RBA) to all-taxa 
biodiversity inventories (ATBI)–have been developed for decades to 
estimate local species richness. However, these methods are costly and 
invasive. Several animals–birds, mammals, amphibians, fishes and 
arthropods–produce sounds when moving, communicating or sensing their 
environment. Here we propose a new concept and method to describe 
biodiversity. We suggest to forego species or morphospecies 
identification used by ATBI and RBA respectively but rather to tackle 
the problem at another evolutionary unit, the community level. We also 
propose that a part of diversity can be estimated and compared through a 
rapid acoustic analysis of the sound produced by animal communities. We 
produced α and β diversity indexes that we first tested with 540 
simulated acoustic communities. The α index, which measures acoustic 
entropy, shows a logarithmic correlation with the number of species 
within the acoustic community. The β index, which estimates both 
temporal and spectral dissimilarities, is linearly linked to the number 
of unshared species between acoustic communities. We then applied both 
indexes to two closely spaced Tanzanian dry lowland coastal forests. 
Indexes reveal for this small sample a lower acoustic diversity for the 
most disturbed forest and acoustic dissimilarities between the two 
forests suggest that degradation could have significantly decreased and 
modified community composition. Our results demonstrate for the first 
time that an indicator of biological diversity can be reliably obtained 
in a non-invasive way and with a limited sampling effort. This new 
approach may facilitate the appraisal of animal diversity at large 
spatial and temporal scales.

*Ph.d. stipend available (NB, deadline January 5 2009):***

*Echolocation in bats – the role of ear and face morphology for sound 
emission and perception *


Supervisors: Annemarie Surlykke Institute of Biology, SDU and John 
Hallam, The Maersk Mc-Kinney Moller Institute, SDU.


SDU, University of Southern Denmark, Odense Denmark.

Bats use echolocation or “bio-sonar” to orient and find prey in the 
dark. They emit short high frequency sound pulses and listen for the 
echoes reflected from surroundings to orient in space. Bats from 
different families emit sounds either through the mouth or through the 
nose. Bats emitting sound through the nose have elaborate skin folds or 
“nose-leaves” around the nostrils. The shape and size of the sound 
emitting structures (mouth or nose) is believed to strongly affect the 
directionality or shape of the emitted sound beam. The shape of the 
sound beam will subsequently strongly affect the reflected 
“echo-picture” of the scene. A broad beam will ensonify objects within a 
wide angle, whereas a narrow beam will restrict the bat to a narrow 
angle of view, but perhaps reach further ahead than the broader beam. 
Thus, the received echo is dependent on the outgoing sound. However, the 
returning echo also depends on the shape and size of ears. This 
filtering is referred to as “head-related-transfer-function” (HRTF) and 
is well described for human listening, but not at all for bats in spite 
of the obvious importance, which is reflected in the very diverse and 
sometimes bizarre morphology of bat faces.


The goal of the project is therefore to record and use echolocation 
sounds from real bat species to determine the effect of morphology on 
directionality of the emitted beam and HRTF of returning echoes. Based 
on these data we want to develop algorithms to effectively simulate the 
sound in 3-D. 3-D simulations of sounds fields will be used for 
implementing bio-mimetic robots using sound (echolocation) to orient in 
space and to discriminate between objects.


An EU-funded (FP7) project, ChiRoPing (www.ChiRoPing.org 
 ) focuses on the engineering aspects of 
building bio-mimetic bat-robots, using as models four bat species with 
different morphology and echolocation sounds, but overlapping prey 
capture strategies. The ChiRoPing project seeks to build physical and 
mathematical models of the bats and compare structure, function and 
performance to the real bats. Thus, this present project will interact 
with and complement the ChiRoPing project. Biology, SDU, also has a 
Marine Research Facility, “Fjord and Baelt”, with captive trained 
porpoises, which gives a unique opportunity to compare performance of 
bio-sonar systems in air and water and study how structure is linked to 
function in two media posing different constraints on the systems.


This project is offered within the research training programme SNAK. The 
project is conditioned on funding from the Danish Agency for Science, 
Technology and Innovation.

PhD Studentship:

Modelling of the tympanal membrane in locusts

Hearing and correct reading of sound is an important feature for all
animals as it can determine the survival of the species.

The ear of the locust has been one of the most studied among biologists.
Sound detection in locusts is achieved through a thin, clamped membrane
backed with an air cavity located on the abdomen of the animal, which acts
as a pressure sensor. It has been known since the 60's that the locust ear
can perform some kind of frequency discrimination. Yet, the exact process
by which sound energy is transformed into a mechanical wave that propagates
along the membrane, and is then transferred to the sensory organs is still
very much an open question.

Objectives:
The aim of the project is to understand the process by which the locust can
hear through a combined modelling and experimental approach.

Successful applicants are expected to have obtained a 1st class or upper
2:1 degree in pure or applied mathematics, physics, mechanical engineering
or related discipline, with an interest in modelling and mutidisciplinary
work. Full funding (fees and maintenance) is available to UK nationals
(fees only for EU nationals).
