bioakustik
Bioakustik, or bioacoustics, is the interdisciplinary study of how living organisms produce, transmit, receive, and respond to sound. It encompasses acoustic communication within and between species, echolocation and navigation, and the ecological and evolutionary contexts in which sounds arise. The field also investigates how environmental conditions, such as habitat structure and noise, influence signal production, transmission, and perception.
Researchers collect data from field and laboratory experiments, using tools such as microphones, hydrophones, and bat
Applications of bioakustik include wildlife monitoring and conservation, biodiversity assessment, and studies of animal behavior, mating
Notable study areas include researchers examining bird songs, bat echolocation, whale and dolphin communications, and insect
