Xeno-canto

... bit of a hidden reference to Xeno-canto in that paper, but apparently just putting "XC" followed by a number is enough info for people to find a recording these days :-) Nice.

👍 we found it. See XC front page :-)

.... check this out: xeno-canto.org/forum/topic/... . What a find.

... time for a spotlight

...ah! difficult to find in the paper, but the first recordings is actually XC1034606! Fernando had it down as Little Tinamou :-)

Never mind. It's all over the internet :-) Thanks for pointing it out though!

... hi Alex, the link givs a 404? tantalising :-)

WILDLABS Acoustics Group Meetup | WILDLABS Make new connections and discuss hot topics in conservation bioacoustics!

Want to meet other #bioacoustics researchers, discuss stumbling blocks in your workflow, and envision what's next for conservation bioacoustics?

Join us on December 10 at 11 AM ET for a WILDLABS Acoustics group virtual meetup! @wildlabs.bsky.social

Info & registration: wildlabs.net/event/wildla...

... indeed! Part of XC data there since we kickstarted sounds properly on GBIF in 2019 :-) See: www.gbif.org/news/VqABDXdrK6ceAM6CY2aY4/tweets-chirps-and-hoots-collaborative-project-xeno-canto-adds-170000-sound-based-bird-records. This is the current XC set there: www.gbif.org/dataset/sear...

13000 species! The incredible (10k+ recordings on XC!) Marc Anderson aka @wildambience.bsky.social contributes it: xeno-canto.org/species/Limn..., a frog from the Malay peninsula. Thanks for sharing Marc! #bioacoustics #frogs

12999 species now: Anurag Mishra just uploaded Xenophrys monticola. Cool. #frogs #bioacoustics

Sounds of 12998 species by 11992 recordists now on Xeno-canto. Quite likely we get to 13000 and 12000 this year. Nice opportunity to make a splash with a contribution. New species for XC are easiest in the non-bird groups of course. Go for it :-) #bioacoustics

Of course, all of this wouldn't have been possible without the help of hundreds of people painstakingly collecting mushrooms, putting tiny sea snails in sampling tubes while diving in a current, recording sounds for @xeno-canto.bsky.social that we used for the AI, etc. Thank you all!

... & while you're at perhaps also support the platform & community sharing the sounds used to kickstart and train most of all that passive monitoring wizardry. Which platform? You guessed it: xeno-canto.org/donate

... an acknowledgement of XC's indirect but crucial contribution to this cool effort from @arisenl.bsky.social & @naturalis.bsky.social: "Onze AI voor geluiden werkt, omdat mensen van over de hele wereld geluiden opnamen." Indeed. And, of course by *sharing* those sounds :-)

Panagiotis Georgiakakis has added a nice first batch of some 140 Bat recordings from Crete. #bioacoustics #bats

... paywalled unfortunately. Let's add some open sonification: xeno-canto.org/explore/taxo...

nice one Simon

XC1053297 Richard's Pipit (Anthus richardi) 12 flight calls

Today I collected an audio recorder I left in the Fens with the aim of getting some nice Wigeon recordings. Incredibly it also picked up this Richard's Pipit flying through on the morning of 6th November! xeno-canto.org/1053297 #UKBirding

Well, regardless of how it is organised (we really don't know) it always seems that two very different groups are working there. We really like the "ecosystem" that is growing around BirdNET. We'll keep you posted on that XC app :-)
