VESTAS (Vocalization Evaluation with Spatiotemporal Analysis System)

VESTAS (Vocalization Evaluation with Spatiotemporal Analysis System) is a specialized software tool used to analyze animal sounds, such as bird songs or communication calls. It captures audio recordings and examines how these vocalizations change over time and across different locations or individuals. By providing detailed measurements and visualizations, VESTAS helps researchers understand patterns, variations, and functions of animal communication. Its use improves the accuracy and efficiency of behavioral studies, aiding in conservation, species identification, and behavioral research in ecological and zoological fields.
