Bioacoustics is the study of sound in living organisms, including animals. It involves analyzing the sounds produced by animals to gain insights into their behavior, communication, and ecology.
Bioacoustics is used to monitor animal populations by deploying devices such as acoustic sensors or microphones in the field to capture sounds made by animals. By analyzing these recordings, researchers can identify species, estimate population sizes, study migration patterns, and monitor changes in biodiversity over time. This non-invasive method provides valuable data for conservation efforts and wildlife management.
