(Ecological Indicators) </strong>The dataset contains a series of 1 min wav files recorded across UK and Ecuadorian habitats. Each one has 26 acoustic indices calculated on it, and a full list of avian species and abundances and GPS data for each sample site. Abstract Affordable, autonomous recording devices facilitate large scale acoustic monitoring and Rapid Acoustic Survey is emerging as a cost-effective approach to ecological monitoring; the success of the approach rests on the development of computational methods by which biodiversity metrics can be automatically derived from remotely collected audio data. Dozens of indices have been proposed to date, but systematic validation against classical, in situ diversity measures. This study con...

Research to date has focused on preferences and a ƫ tudes to western, urban locations where natural soundscapes are restricted to parks and open areas. This paper reports a study of soundscape perception in three social groups living in areas differing in the level of landscape disturbance, from pristine forest and pre‐urban landscapes in Ecuador to urban landscapes in UK and USA. In a series of structured interviews, participants described three sounds they associated with a range of emotions. These were categorized according to an adapted version of Schafer’s sound classification scheme. Statistical analyses were carried out to test di ff erences between groups and map the overall soundscape. Results suggest that although the sonic environment of each group ...

New records of the Common Ghost Bat (Diclidurus albus) were obtained in western Ecuador. We report six new observations: five in Manabi province and one in Santo Domingo de los Tsachilas province; two of these accounts are the first in mangrove forests for the species, and five the nearest to the sea. We report a chronological review of the Ecuadorian records and discuss about its distribution. Palabras clave. Bosque montano. Bosque seco. Diclidurus albus. Distribucion. Ecuador. Manglar.
