Automated ecoacoustic monitoring: Evaluating classifier performance for common cuckoo (cuculus canorus) detection (2025)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

This study evaluates the effectiveness of automated bioacoustic classifiers in detecting the vocal activity of the common cuckoo (Cuculus canorus) within the Chornobyl Exclusion Zone (CEZ). Data were collected from 12 recording locations using Wildli... Read More about Automated ecoacoustic monitoring: Evaluating classifier performance for common cuckoo (cuculus canorus) detection.

Using Environmental DNA to Characterize Amphibian Communities at Sites Infected with Batrachochytrium salamandrivorans in the Netherlands (2025)
Journal Article

Batrachochytrium salamandrivorans (Bsal) fungus has the potential to cause high mortality rates in some European salamanders and newts (urodelans) and is in the process of expanding its invasive range in Europe. Therefore, monitoring its distribution... Read More about Using Environmental DNA to Characterize Amphibian Communities at Sites Infected with Batrachochytrium salamandrivorans in the Netherlands.

Verified implementations of the Sottek psychoacoustic Hearing Model standardised sound quality metrics (ECMA-418-2 loudness, roughness and tonality (2025)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

Metrics for describing perceptual sound qualities have previously been developed from a variety of psychoa- coustic models. The Sottek Hearing Model (SHM) of- fers a holistic approach to characterising perceptual sound quality and the SHM metrics for...

The Effect of Blade Crop and Skew on the Interaction Tones Produced by a Contra-Rotating Unmanned Aerial Vehicle Rotor System (2025)
Journal Article

Contra-rotating rotor systems are commonly used on unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs). The periodic unsteady loading on the blades of these rotor systems due to their interaction with the flow field of the adjacent rotor produces a mul...
