Parrotfish demonstrate little behavioural shift during marine heatwaves

The world is experiencing notable increases in the duration, intensity and frequency of marine heatwaves (MHWs). Documented effects of MHWs on fishes encompass various population- and community-level impacts, ranging from localized mass mortalities to transient or semi-permanent...

Accounting for noise improves the generalization of acoustic indices when estimating biodiversity

The use of Passive Acoustic Monitoring (PAM) for estimating biodiversity often entails the use of acoustic indices that summarize the acoustic properties of the recordings. Although acoustic indices have been shown to successfully track biodiversity in limited contexts, the recur...
