Soundscape Ecology Project

This section contains the sound files of the Pijanowski et al. (2011) BioScience article titled "Soundscape Ecology: The Science of Sound in the Landscape."

This site contains over 22,000 recordings made in 2012 at 23 sites around the Aldo Leopold Farm, Wisconsin.

This site contains 9,316 recordings made in 2008 at 24 sites in La Selva and the Braulio Carrillo National Park, Costa Rica. The sites covered a range of elevations, from 100 meters to about 600 meters above sea level. Data were provided by the TEAM Network of Conservation International, funded by the Gordon and Betty Moore Foundation.

This site contains over 75,000 recordings made in 2011 at 27 sites in the La Selva Biological Station, Costa Rica. The sites covered the different forest types (including secondary and primary forests) and the vertical structure (from near the ground to above the canopy, at 42m).

Soundscape Tools

• Pumilio is a free and open source PHP/MySQL application for the management of sound archives and the visualization and manipulation of sound files.
• Users can plot a day (or longer) of the acoustic diversity index of the Tippecanoe Soundscape.
• Scripts in R language are available to obtain the acoustic diversity index out of wav sound files.
