A new methodology to infer the singing activity of an avian community: The Acoustic Complexity Index (ACI)
TLDR
In this paper, the suitability of the Acoustic Complexity Index (ACI) is examined, an algorithm created to produce a direct quantification of the complex biotic songs by computing the variability of the intensities registered in audio-recordings, despite the presence of constant human-generated-noise.About:

TL;DR: In this paper, an acoustic analysis of choruses produced by animal communities was carried out to assess α and β diversity in three woodland habitats: a mature forest, a young forest and a forest-cropland ecotone within the Parc Naturel Regional of Haute-Vallee de Chevreuse (France).

Emerging opportunities and challenges for passive acoustics in ecological assessment and monitoring
TL;DR: It is shown that terrestrial and marine PAM applications are advancing rapidly, driven by emerging sensor hardware, the application of machine learning inno-vations to automated wildlife call identification, and work towards developing acoustic biodiversity indicators.
Journal ArticleDOI
The use of acoustic indices to determine avian species richness in audio-recordings of the environment
TL;DR: This paper examines the problem of estimating avian species richness by sampling from very long acoustic recordings, and describes combinations of indices which lead to more efficient estimates of species richness than random sampling from the same recording.

Autonomous recording units in avian ecological research: current use and future applications
Julia Shonfield,Erin M. Bayne +1 more
TL;DR: The use of ARUs in avian ecological research is summarized and current knowledge of the benefits and drawbacks of this technology is synthesized to enable researchers to do more repeat visits with less time spent in the field.

Randomization, Bootstrap and Monte Carlo Methods in Biology
TL;DR: The idea of a randomization test has been explored in the context of data analysis for a long time as mentioned in this paper, and it has been applied in a variety of applications in biology, such as single species ecology and community ecology.
