WorldWide SoundScapesA worldwide database of soundscape recording datasets across realms We collate and analyse soundscape datasets from the terrestrial, marine, and freshwater core realms for the first global, comprehensive, quantitative synthesis of soundscapes. Manager: Kevin FA Darras The project is open to new collaborators: we accept passive, spatially or temporally replicated soundscape datasets. |
Open collections
Individual collections that are not part of larger projects, created for sharing soundscape recordings. |

ECO-OLIVESECO-OLIVES - Ecological management of European olive agroforestry: linking biodiversity conservation, ecosystem services and productivity Agroforestry systems can benefit from insectivorous birds and bats which provide important ecosystem services such as pest control at local scales and thus prevent disease outbreaks and enhance crop yields. However, biodiversity of olive and other farming systems in Europe is increasingly threatened by fast expanding intensive olive monocultures that most often replace biodiversity-rich traditional farming activities, leading to an impaired provision of ecosystem services. This project aims to provide a combined assessment of functional diversity, multitrophic interactions of birds, bats and arthropods, as well as associated ecosystem services and socio-ecological implications for olive agroforests of Italy.

Drought stress as a chance
https://www.vogelwarte.ch/modx/de/projekte/lebensraeume/extremereignisse-im-wald-als-chance/trockens Dry summers leave their mark on Switzerland's forests: many trees have sparse crowns and die off. These developments pose challenges for forest owners, forestry services and society - but they also offer big opportunities for the biodiversity. The Swiss Ornithological Institute is working with partners to protect forests suffering from drought stress so that they are left to decompose for 30 years. Passive acoustic monitoring (PAM) is used to record changes in the composition of breeding birds. Project manager: Thomas Sattler |
