Our thoughts are with everyone affected by the recent extreme weather in QLD and NSW. Unfortunately, our services, including #Ecosounds and #A2O, are still down. We aim to have them restored in the coming days and will keep you updated.

🦇 New acoustic method to quantify cave-dwelling bats.

📈 By enhancing the Tadarida classifier with local recordings, researchers achieved up to 98% accuracy. This first local use confirms that quantitative bat assessments are feasible with minimal effort, even in data-poor regions.
