Why animal sounds?
… and why R?
Animal acoustic signals
Animal acoustic signals
Common research questions
How animal acoustic signals vary in space and time? why?
What is their function?
What socio-ecological factors favor the evolution of specific features?
How the transmission properties of the environment have shaped signal structure?
Acoustic analysis workflow
Why bioacoustics in R?
Improves reproducibility of research
Involves a deeper understanding of the structure of our study systems
Allows conducting analyses that better fit our research questions and study systems
Democratizes access to scientific resources
Course outline
Tutorials with combinations of theoretical background, demonstrations and proofs of concept using R code and self-learning practices on their own acoustic data or supplied example data
Additional practices and readings assigned after each session
