Hi #ecoacoustics people. I'm running a questionnaire to help develop a general survey protocol for Acoustic Index studies. Please add your thoughts here... surveymonkey.co.uk/r/Y5DLDZL It'll only take two mins. Results to be revealed at the UK Acoustics Network Plus #Biodiversity Symposium

Had a blast making a #birdnetpi to monitor birds in real time at UCL CASA & UCL Centre for Biodiversity & Environment Research workshop this afternoon! Awesome first experience of #peoplenaturelab UCL East campus 🌿 Excited to see what birds are detected from my balcony 🦜 aude.vuilli Kate E. Jones 🦇

244 bird calls detected + classified already today by my #birdnetpi 🐦 So cool to watch the spectograms in real time and some unexpected species (not sure about the Ural Owl in SE London though?) aude.vuilli @djdunc Raspberry Pi @BirdNET_App UCL CASA UCL Centre for Biodiversity & Environment Research

Had a great time at the #EastBatConf last weekend presenting some of the work from my PhD 🦇

We are thrilled to announce that abstract submission for the 6th British Bat Research Symposium is now open! BritBats 2023 be hosted by Ecology & Conservation Research Lab UWE in the beautiful Watershed on Bristol's historic harbourside Submit at Britbats.com Closing date 5th April

Set-up our solar powered, edge-processing acoustic sensor on the People&Nature Lab roof UCL East campus helped by aude.vuilli Testing for more remote deployments in 🌲🌳Currently monitoring 🦜 calls using an AudioMoth mic and #BirdNetPi Hoping to have BatDetect onboard soon 🦇🦇🦇

Great to see these guidelines for (audible) #passiveacoustic ecological monitoring out! Very pleased to have been involved in this excellent, expert-led guide. UCL Centre for Biodiversity & Environment Research Bat Conservation Trust

Deadline for our new MSc Ecology & Data Science is coming up (end of March) - apply now to learn #AI & #Tech for #conservation and restoring ecosystems UCL East campus ZSL Science Science at the Natural History Museum tinyurl.com/48jyy3a8

The final symposium programme is now online: britbats.com/programme. We're thrilled to announce that in addition to all the exciting student talks we'll have a keynote speech from Kate E. Jones 🦇 and invited talks from @OrlyRazgour and @NewsonStuart. #BatAppreciationDay

✨New paper out today, led by Richard Cornford. We find that animal population trends are best explained when the lagged impacts of climate change and land use change are accounted for.

Just a couple days left to register for in-person tickets for the 6th British Bat Research Symposium. We are also offering an 80% discount for delegates from global south nations who wish to attend the conference virtually. Head over to BritBats.com and get in touch!
