Research interests

Within the theoretical-practical framework of ecoacoustics is that we address themes for the development of the theory, as well as for its application in environmental management. Understanding circadian and phenological patterns of metacomunities, evaluating the effect of anthropic noise on biological systems or generating biodiversity distribution information in the landscape for the management of protected areas, are some of the questions that motivate us. The development of this line of research is conjugated with the formation of human and postgraduate human resources, as well as its extension in a broad sense: transposition, dissemination and co-innovation with society.

Working area

Ecoacoustics is the area of ​​knowledge that investigates and interprets the sound landscapes, their origin, dynamic, function and evolution, in the context of ecology. Sound landscapes being the overlap of all sounds that occur in one place, can be classified by their origin in biophonies (sounds of biological origin), geophonies (sounds of non -biological origin) and anthropophobies (sounds of anthropic origin). Together with a consolidated theoretical framework, statistical tools have been developed to summarize the complexity of sound landscapes, as well as to classify and identify particular sounds. For its part, the development of automated engrames that allow passive acoustic monitoring ("Passive Acoustic Monitoring", PAM), without the presence of the researcher, have expanded the scope of the discipline.
