However, not all acoustic indices follow the same trend, meaning that such metrics need to be applied and interpreted with caution when measuring species biodiversity via ecoacoustics. (3/3)

Our study shows that forest fragmentation and edge-effects can have profound impacts on the soundscape, which is indicative of reduced biodiversity. These results align with biodiversity data from traditional transect data. (2/3)

🐘 African elephants plan their journeys carefully, preferring to avoid steep slopes and rough terrain and favouring food-rich environments 🐘 So if you too prefer a gentle walk with a snack break, you're in good company. New with @idiv and @ste_kenya 👇 https://t.co/vOhTH6pbWi
