This open-access book empowers its readers to explore the acoustic
world of animals. By listening to the sounds of nature, we can
study animal behavior, distribution, and demographics; their
habitat characteristics and needs; and the effects of noise. Sound
recording is an efficient and affordable tool, independent of
daylight and weather; and recorders may be left in place for many
months at a time, continuously collecting data on animals and their
environment. This book builds the skills and knowledge necessary to
collect and interpret acoustic data from terrestrial and marine
environments. Beginning with a history of sound recording, the
chapters provide an overview of off-the-shelf recording equipment
and analysis tools (including automated signal detectors and
statistical methods); audiometric methods; acoustic terminology,
quantities, and units; sound propagation in air and under water;
soundscapes of terrestrial and marine habitats; animal acoustic and
vibrational communication; echolocation; and the effects of noise.
This book will be useful to students and researchers of animal
ecology who wish to add acoustics to their toolbox, as well as to
environmental managers in industry and government.
