Bioacoustics Research Program

The Bioacoustics Research Program studies how animals communicate through sounds using specialized recording and analysis techniques. It explores sounds made by wildlife such as birds, whales, and insects to understand their behaviors, habitats, and ecological roles. This research helps identify species, monitor populations, and assess environmental health. By analyzing sound recordings, scientists gain insights into biodiversity and the impact of human activities on animal communities. The program combines biology, technology, and data analysis to better understand the natural world through the sounds animals produce.
