Evaluating acoustic indices in the Valdivian rainforest, a biodiversity hotspot in South America
(Elsevier B.V., 2019)
Passive acoustic monitoring is becoming an extensively used tool to evaluate the status and variation of populations of sound producing animals. The analyses of extensive acoustic recordings for identification and detection ...
Species-specific effects of moonlight on insectivorous bat activity in central Chile
(Oxford, 2020)
Moonlight intensity influences the activity patterns of bats. Some bat species reduce their activity levels during brighter nights, a phenomenon known as "lunar phobia." While lunar phobia of bats has been extensively ...
Contrasting Propagation of Natural Calls of Two Anuran Species from the South American Temperate Forest
(Public Library Science, 2015)
The acoustic adaptation hypothesis predicts that sound communication signals have an optimal relationship with animals' native environments. However, species sharing a habitat produce signals stratified in the spectral ...
Vocal Responsiveness to Interfering Sounds By a Frog From The Southern Temperate Forest, Batrachyla leptopus
(Wiley-Blackwell, 2015)
Interfering sounds from biotic and abiotic origins are likely to shape the responsiveness of sound communicating animals. Among these sources of interference, interactions among acoustically active species have been studied ...
Foraging activity by bats in a fragmented landscape dominated by exotic pine plantations in central chile
(2013)
We assessed foraging activity of insectivorous bats in a fragmented landscape of central Chile including native temperate forest, forest fragments, commercial pine plantations and local human settlements. Overall bat ...
A computational model for the modulation of the prepulseinhibition of the acoustic startle reflex
(Springer, 2012)
The acoustic startle reflex (ASR), a defensiveresponse, is a contraction of the skeletal and facial musclesin response to an abrupt, intense (>80 db) auditory stimu-lus, which has been extensively studied in rats and ...
Restricted responsiveness to noise interference in two anurans from the southern temperate forest
(Wiley, 2017)
Animals adopt different strategies to communicate by means of sound in noisy environments such that some species increase, while others decrease their vocal activity in the presence of interference. Anuran amphibians from ...
Responses of aerial insectivorous bats to landscape composition and heterogeneity in organic vineyards
(Elsevier B.V., 2019)
Landscape composition and heterogeneity are considered important factors for enhancing biodiversity and their associated ecosystem services in human-modified landscapes. Despite their roles in pest suppression in agricultural ...
A source time reversal method for seismicity induced by mining
(American Institute of Mathematical Sciences, 2017)
In this work, we present a modified Time-Reversal Mirror (TRM) Method, called Source Time Reversal (STR), to find the spatial distribution of a seismic source induced by mining activity. This methodology is based on a known ...
A minimal model to understand the discrepancies between acoustic and electromagnetic emissions in fracturing processes
(IOP Publishing Ltd, 2021)
Despite their common origin, experiments show that acoustic and electromagnetic emissions evolve in different ways during the fracture processes of brittle materials. It is common to find peaks of acoustic activity without ...
