Any questions, DM me to discuss. AUS Data Science Network

Here’s our latest paper which provides rec’s for setting up an acoustic monitoring program. We discuss bigger concepts (eg partnerships, objectives) through to finer details (eg sensor times, stats design) & analysis #ecoacoustics #bioacoustics conbio.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/cs…
