Thrilled to start this project in the fall: acoustically tracking individual birds to study how their survival & abundance is impacted by fire & forest management. Fortunate to join the awesome @smithfellows.bsky.social, @cornellbirds.bsky.social, & @bioacoustics.bsky.social communities, too!!

New paper out today! We demonstrate how incorporating bioacoustics into wildlife monitoring can support management and restoration planning at a bioregional scale in fire-prone forests (but really anywhere). Read it @esajournals.bsky.social: esajournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/abs/10.1...

Just peer-reviewed a possibly AI-generated paper. It was a critique of another study I was one of the original reviewers for. It sounded polished, but every criticism was irrelevant or incorrect. The authors had never published in that field, but had published other "critiques" in unrelated fields

An idea for folks translating long scientific documents (via Marco González Santoro): use DeepL Translate to save an enormous amount of time generating a rough translation. Then, domain experts can focus their energy on editing the translation and fixing domain-specific jargon.

Hi, I'm Tessa! I develop and apply #bioacoustic methods for conservation and ecology, e.g.: - acoustic localization to monitor individual animals - workflows and statistics for using AI models - the impacts of pesticides used to combat invasive species I love birds 🦉, moths 🦋, and #AudioMoths
