Worldwide Soundscapes: A Synthesis of Passive Acoustic Monitoring Across Realms (2025)
Journal Article

Aim: The urgency for remote, reliable and scalable biodiversity monitoring amidst mounting human pressures on ecosystems has sparked worldwide interest in Passive Acoustic Monitoring (PAM), which can track life underwater and on land. However, we lac... Read More about Worldwide Soundscapes: A Synthesis of Passive Acoustic Monitoring Across Realms.

Examining Human Wild-carnivore conflicts in Kargil Trans-Himalayas, India (2024)
Thesis

The inevitable human interaction with wildlife often gives rise to human-wildlife conflicts
inflicting tangible (e.g., financial, persecutions) and intangible (e.g., emotional) losses on
both sides. Despite the lack of scientific records in Kargil... Read More about Examining Human Wild-carnivore conflicts in Kargil Trans-Himalayas, India.

What do we know about noise impacts on birds? A systematic review focusing on acoustic methodology (2023)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

In recent years, several studies have shown how anthropogenic noise impacts wildlife. The methodologies used to quantify noise appear to influence data reliability and subsequent findings. Therefore, it is appropriate to review the robustness of acou... Read More about What do we know about noise impacts on birds? A systematic review focusing on acoustic methodology.

The Habitats project integrates research in the fields of ecological impacts and environmental noise to facilitate development of management tools and processes needed for sustainable development. This conference paper summarises the content and outc... Read More about Habitats: Developments in managing the ecological impacts of noise on wildlife habitats for sustainable development.

Impacts of anthropogenic sounds on bird call activities: A case study in Aachen, Germany (2023)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

Since the definition of the Environmental Noise Directive 2002/49/EC, various tools, reports, and action plans have
been developed to assess and improve the sonic environment according to human perception and well-being. Few methodologies and report... Read More about Impacts of anthropogenic sounds on bird call activities: A case study in Aachen, Germany.

Behavioural effects of noise on Linnaeus's two-toed sloth ( (2023)
Journal Article
