Large-scale PAM for 🦇 (and 🐬) requires automated analysis methods.

Bioacoustics AU tested four #deeplearning based analysis workflows implemented in #PAMGuard on data from Open Acoustic Devices and Wildlife Acoustics acoustic recorders.

It turns out...

After Yasunaga et al's response, I remain entirely unconvinced that killing minke whales with explosive harpoons adheres to the highest standards for treatment of animals in research. The Society Marine Mammalogy remains silent on this issue #AnimalWelfare onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/mm…

A long overdue weekend on the water, with a triple rainbow beating the porpoise groups to the sightings top spot

New #PhD alert! 5 year teaching & research studentship at University of Plymouth with Simon Ingram and me studying #cetacean #abundance , #distribution and exposure to #shippingnoise in SW UK, using survey data & analysing #acoustic mooring data joint with Cefas Noise plymouth.ac.uk/schools/school…

⚡️PhD Alert⚡️Closing date on the 9th January⚡️Join us at University of Exeter and British Antarctic Survey for an exciting collaboration between Adam Monier Jennifer Jackson investigating eDNA of marine vertebrates in polar oceans.

We argue in this letter that a 'scientific whaling' paper did not meet ethical guidelines & should not have been published - one of many dubious papers

Marine mammal scientists, journals, funders and universities need to take ethical aspects of marine mammal research seriously

'Explain what you mean by Woke & then we can have the conversation'. Incredibly put by Rakie Ayola💜 Still Menopausal.
This should be the response to every commentator, Journalist & MP who've become far too comfortable throwing the Term 'Woke' into every one of their dog whistle opinions

It's been lovely to have new #PhD students at #ThinkUHI this week in #Inverness for their induction! Wishing you all the best with your research and please keep tagging UHI and UHI Research in your tweets!
