Biological oceanographer John Ryan joins Mongabay's podcast to discuss his team's multiyear study that examined vocalizations of baleen whales, including blue (Balaenoptera musculus), humpback (Megaptera novaeangliae) and fin whales (Balaenoptera physalus), and how this science is critical for understanding their feeding habits, and thus informing their conservation. The study found that these whales' songs rise and fall with their food supply, which provides valuable insights into how changing ocean conditions can affect their health and guide management measures. “Some of the research we did tracking the movement and ecology of blue whales helped our sanctuary [to] act on this long-term concern about ship strikes, and to join a program that is called Protecting Blue Whales and Blue Skies,” the Monterey Bay Aquarium Research Institute (MBARI) researcher says.

Imagine a future where we can be individually identified and maintained through frequency-based biomarkers that keep us healthy and emotionally balanced. Sharry Edwards' pioneering work at the Institute of BioAcoustic Biology demonstrates that we can control these frequencies through mind management or programmable devices. Using Vocal Profiling, both emotional and physiological issues can be revealed and addressed, as people with similar health challenges share nearly identical vocal anomalies.Edwards bridges ancient knowledge with modern harmonic theories to establish math as a foundation for wellness. Through frequency entrainment of the brain, the body can be programmed to support optimal function. Her research provides crucial insights into how string theory's infinitesimal vibrations transform into our physical reality, showing how the brain's frequency-based communication can reveal DNA/RNA templates with the potential to extend life.Sharry Edwards stands among the few modern keepers of profound mysteries, bringing forth secrets long hidden from humanity. Her groundbreaking work suggests that at our core, we are sophisticated math-based beings that can be "managed" through individual frequency signatures. She will likely be remembered for her extraordinary ability to bridge the ancient, esoteric, and scientific realms, answering fundamental questions about our origins and potential, while revealing whether frequency represents our medicine of the future or an ancient mystery finally uncovered.Sharry Edwards, the pioneering researcher who has dedicated over 30 years to the study of Human BioAcoustic Biology.

In this fascinating episode of the Think Wildlife Podcast, we dive into the groundbreaking work of Project Dhvani, a pioneering conservation initiative using bioacoustics to revolutionize how we understand and manage biodiversity in India's tropical landscapes. Host Anish sits down with Dr. Vijay Ramesh, co-founder of Project Dhvani, to discuss how animal vocalization and animal sounds captured through passive remote sensing can reveal vital insights into the state of ecosystems, land-use changes, and the success of forest restoration projects.Project Dhvani began as a research collaboration between Dr. Ramesh, Dr. Pooja Choksi, and Dr. Sarika Kanwikar during their PhD studies at Columbia University. Their shared mission? Remote sensing technology, particularly passive acoustic monitoring, must be used to track biodiversity and conservation patterns across human-dominated and natural landscapes. Today, their work has grown into a multi-regional network, spanning Central India and the Tropical Western Ghats, two critical biodiversity hotspots.Why Sound Matters in Conservation TechBioacoustics, the science of using sound to monitor and interpret ecological activity, has become a cornerstone of modern conservation technology. From birds and insects to amphibians and mammals, many animals communicate through vocalizations that provide clues about their presence, abundance, and behavior. By deploying audio recorders in various habitats—restored forests, degraded lands, and agricultural plots—Project Dhvani is building a rich archive of animal vocalizations that help scientists analyze ecosystem processes in unprecedented ways.This episode explores how bioacoustic monitoring not only reveals species diversity but also helps evaluate the effectiveness of reforestation and ecological balance strategies. For example, Dr. Ramesh and his team have discovered significantly higher bird diversity in restored areas compared to degraded or unrestored ones—a hopeful signal that habitat loss can be reversed through thoughtful ecosystem management.From AI to Acoustic Networks: The Next Generation of Conservation TechnologyDr. Ramesh highlights how advances in remote sensing and AI-powered acoustic analysis are transforming the field. Platforms like Merlin and BirdNET, developed by the Cornell Lab of Ornithology, are now enabling researchers and the general public alike to identify bird species by simply recording ambient sounds on their smartphones. This democratization of bioacoustic tools has major implications for sustainable land management and public engagement in conservation.Moreover, Project Dhvani isn't just about research—it's also about building a broader network of professionals committed to biodiversity conservation in India. The initiative is laying the groundwork for a national forum that brings together academics, civil society, and policymakers to scale up the use of conservation tech across India's varied ecosystems.Acoustic Insights into Land-Use Change and Tropical EcologyOne of the most compelling aspects of this conversation is the application of bioacoustics to study land-use change in tropical regions. By comparing soundscapes in organic and traditionally managed coffee farms, Project Dhvani is uncovering how different agricultural practices impact biodiversity management. These insights can inform more environmentally friendly farming techniques that align economic livelihoods with ecological health.India's vast and diverse environments offer fertile ground for remote sensing technology. However, Dr. Ramesh points out that most acoustic monitoring has focused on terrestrial habitats, with marine ecosystems remaining largely unexplored. Expanding bioacoustic research into marine environments could open new frontiers for biodiversity and conservation efforts.Challenges and Opportunities in Bioacoustic MonitoringWhile the future is promising, Project Dhvani faces its share of challenges. Funding constraints remain a major hurdle for research and long-term monitoring efforts. Additionally, there's a pressing need for more locally produced hardware to make bioacoustic tools more accessible across the Global South. Despite these obstacles, the team remains optimistic, fueled by growing interest from interdisciplinary collaborators and private sector supporters committed to advancing conservation technology.Dr. Ramesh emphasizes the importance of collaboration—not only with fellow scientists but also with citizens, NGOs, and government agencies. By pooling resources and knowledge, the conservation community can scale up passive remote sensing initiatives to safeguard ecosystems under threat from climate change, urbanization, and deforestation.A Call to Action: Join the Soundscape RevolutionListeners interested in contributing to Project Dhvani's mission can do so in multiple ways. Whether you're a student, a tech enthusiast, or a professional in the private sector, there's room to collaborate. As biodiversity conservation becomes increasingly intertwined with technology, the need for innovative minds and diverse perspectives has never been greater.By decoding the symphony of life through sound, Project Dhvani is forging a path toward more inclusive, data-driven, and ecologically sensitive management of India's natural heritage. Tune in to discover how animal sounds and acoustic signatures can become powerful tools in the fight to preserve the planet's most fragile ecosystems.Key Topics Covered:* The science and promise of bioacoustics* The role of passive remote sensing in ecosystem monitoring* Impacts of forest restoration on animal vocalization patterns* AI in conservation: BirdNET and Merlin as tools for engagement* Case studies from Central India and the Tropical Western Ghats* Addressing land-use change, habitat loss, and climate change* Building a national network for biodiversity managementSuggested Listening Companion: Stick around after the episode for Anish's recommended reads on ecological balance and rewilding, including:* Rewilding: The Radical New Science of Ecological Recovery by Paul Jepson and Cain Blythe* Rewilding Africa: The Restoration of Wilderness on a War-Ravaged Continent* Wilder: How Rewilding is Transforming Conservation and Changing the WorldMeet the HostAnish Banerjee: https://x.com/anishwildlifeThink Wildlife Foundation: https://thinkwildlifefoundation.com/Meet the GuestsDr. Vijay Ramesh: https://vijayramesh.com/posts/2024-04-14-conservation-bioacoustics/Project Dhvani: https://e3b.columbia.edu/field-notes/project-dhvani/Recommended Wildlife Conservation BooksWildlife Conservation in India by HS Pabla: https://amzn.to/3Ypx9ZhIndian Mammals: A Field Guide by Vivek Menon: https://amzn.to/4fhMiCLAt the Feet of Living Things by Aparajita Datta: https://amzn.to/3BZmtsN#bioacoustic #bioacoustics #animalvocalization #animalsounds #remotesensing #passiveremotesensing #remotesensingtechnology #conservationtech #conservationtechnology #forestrestoration #reforestation #climatechange #tropicalecology #ecologicalbalance #ecosystemprocesses #landusechange #habitatloss #ecosystemmanagement #sustainablelandmanagement #biodiversityandconservation #biodiversitymanagement #biodiversityconservation #biodiversityhotspot Get full access to The Think Wildlife Podcast at anishbanerjee.substack.com/subscribe

Let's imagine a world in which we can be individually identified, manipulated,and managed through the use of frequency-based biomarkers that can easily be identified through our individual vocal frequencies.  What can we achieve/imagine? Frequency is the basis of our universe. We measure it, study it, quantify it and use it to understand ourselves, our environment, our biochemistry and our behaviors. But what if there were more to our origins than a physical body to be nurtured and kept optimally healthy? What if Frequency (the measurement of Vibration and Frequency), the basis of everything, is more than synthetic equations; what if math-based frequencies are organic?  If so, could we be considered math-based life forms? Sharry Edwards is back to talk about Secrets of the Human Biofield: Accelerating Human Healing through Bioacoustics

  Sharry Edwards 30 years of research is being used at the Institute of BioAcoustic Biology Sharry Edwards, "BioAcoustics Voice Spectral Analysis can detect hidden or underlying stresses in the body that are expressed as disease." The vocal print can identify toxins, pathogens and nutritional supplements that are too low or too high. In addition, vocal print can be used to match the most compatible treatment remedy to each client. The introduction of the proper low frequency sound to the body, indicated through voice analysis, has been shown to control: pain, body temperature, heart rhythm, and blood pressure. It has also been shown to regenerate body tissue, and alleviate the symptoms of many diseases (in some cases, even those considered to be incurable). Sharry Edwards (Sharry Edwards™) is the pioneer in the study of Human BioAcoustic Biology. Her 30 years of research is being used at the Institute of BioAcoustic Biology in Albany, OH. Currently, Edwards and her team at Sound Health are using human voice and the associated frequencies to help clients resolve health issues such as: macular degeneration, multiple sclerosis, headaches, muscle stress, brain trauma, weight issues and nutritional concerns.

A NASA probe is going to touch the Sun for ChristmasThe Parker Solar Probe is going to be making its closest approach to our Sun on Dec. 24, diving at 800,000 km/h into the corona of our star and getting within 6.5 million kilometers to the solar surface. It's the culmination of a successful mission during which the probe has measured the solar wind and flown through solar storms. We speak with C. Alex Young, the Associate Director for Science Communication in the Heliophysics Division at NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center about the highlights of the mission and what's next for the intrepid spacecraft.Pinning down the how and when Neanderthals interbred with humansStudies of Neanderthal remains have revealed that many modern humans have around two per cent Neanderthal DNA in our genomes. A study led by Leonardo Iasi, from the Max Planck Institute for Evolutionary Anthropology, shows that the mixture happened over a period of 7,000 years, lasting from about 50,000 years ago until the Neanderthals started to disappear. The Neanderthal genes that persist in our genome are tied to metabolism and immunity, which might be because humans were traveling to new places and eating new foods to which Neanderthals were already adapted. Iasi's research was published in the journal Science.What Donner and Blitzen might have been saying to RudolphResearchers from Concordia University have released a new study about caribou vocalizations, and what the animals might be signaling to each other. The vocalizations are similar to those of elk and moose, but as herd animals, caribou signaling is less about summoning mates from a distance, and more about males warning competitors to fly off elsewhere. Biologists Robert Weladji and Laura Puch analyzed recordings of these calls to search for information buried in the grunts. They found that the frequencies gave signals as to the age and size of the animal. The research was published in the journal Bioacoustics.Do crustaceans feel pain? A new study of their neural activity says yesBy monitoring the neural activity in crabs while delivering painful stimuli, researchers concluded the response they measured is associated with what we would think would be a painful experience. This study, in the journal Biology, adds to the evidence that crustaceans can sense painful stimuli as the kind of negative experience that we tend to associate with pain. Lynne Sneddon, from the University of Gothenburg led the work. Scientists are making a map of the human body accurate down to the individual cellThe Human Cell Atlas is a mammoth global project to create a detailed map of all cell types and functions in the human body, from early development to old age. While not yet complete, it's already revolutionizing how scientists can probe the human body with significant implications for future healthcare — from diagnosing diseases, to developing drugs, to ushering in a new era of personalized medical treatments.

There was a recent 99 million person survey of those who took the "vaccine".   The report revealed what health issues could be expected in the next few years. It was a devastating prediction.  Since Dec 2019, Sound Health and Sharry Edwards has been reporting on this topic.  It has taken a few years for conventional medicine to catch up but they are ready to reveal the information you need to protect yourself, your loved ones and your community from those who pretend to have your best health at heart.       Sound Health Options

Send us a Text Message.At the end of 2016, a pilot reported that a volcano in Alaska called Bogoslof was erupting. Bogoslof had been quiet for 24 years, and there wasn't any equipment on it that scientists could use to track its eruptions. But over the next 8 months, scientists were able to track at least 70 eruptions from Bogoslof, and they did so using something you might not expect: sound.In this episode of Tiny Matters, we'll cover what sound can tell us about events as big as volcanoes and ‘Swiftquakes' and as small as the insect world, where researchers are using AI to track different insect species, leading to important discoveries that could help not just public health but agriculture and climate policy.Email us your science stories/factoids/news that you want to share at tinymatters@acs.org for a chance to be featured on Tiny Show and Tell Us!Tiny Matters has a YouTube channel!

Finally I dare to make myself the subject of an interview in my own podcast. The art/science pioneer Victoria Vesna grilled me on how I got where I am today: What I learned from John Cage, R. Murray Schafer, and all those birds, bugs, and whales I have made music with for years.

Recent advances in technology have allowed scientists to gather larger quantities of acoustic data from locations more remote than ever before. As a result, the study of animal sounds can be used to inform species or habitat conservation and natural resource management practices in new and exciting ways. In this episode, we talk to Aaron Rice of Cornell University about how acoustics can be used to advance conservation efforts, as well as how folks outside of large research universities can take part in efforts to help save the planet with science.Read the associated article: Aaron N.

Over the last few years, Artificial Intelligence has evolved immensely. Not surprisingly, advanced AI and machine learning algorithms are increasingly being incorporated in sectors across the world. One particular sector, which AI is revolutionizing is wildlife conservation! With an increasingly urgent demand for effective and affordable conservation action, scientists, NGOs, and governments are turning to AI and related technologies for solutions.The earliest and most ubiquitous adoption of AI in conservation is the use of remote sensing to monitor natural ecosystems. Remote sensing has proved to be a far more effective and cost method than manual alternatives, to not only predict and detect threats to ecosystems but also collect high volumes of data for ecological research. Around the world, conservationists are incorporating a wide plethora of remote sensing technology, such as satellites, UAVs, camera traps, and camera traps. These technologies aid in the monitoring of wildlife populations and diseases, analysis of vegetation, the detection of forest fires and environmental impact assessments.One particular technology becoming increasingly popular for conservationists is bioacoustics. Countless species of wildlife produce sound for communication and navigation, hence broadcasting immense amounts of information about, not only themselves but their entire population in their environment. Additionally, acoustic monitoring helps in the detection of illegal logging and poachers. The use of acoustic monitoring systems allows researchers and conservationists to tap into this gold mine of ecological data. Moreover, other than being cost-effective, acoustic monitoring systems also can cover larger radii than camera traps, hence allowing for the collection of larger quantities of data.In this episode, I interview Bourhan Yassin. He is the Founder and CEO of Rainforest Connection, one of the leading conservation technology start-ups in the world. We discuss in depth how bioacoustics and AI are revolutionizing conservation and some of the projects the organization is involved with!If you enjoyed this podcast, do not forget to share and subscribe!

On today's Manu Minute, we have got the scratchy calls of a common game bird. Thanks to the Macaulay Library at the Cornell Laboratory of Ornithology for these recordings of black francolins.

The Nīhoa finch is one of two endemic bird species that call Nīhoa Island home. About 3,000 finches live on the tiny island, which is now part of Papahānaumokuākea Marine National Monument.

Many species of dart frogs exhibit some degree of parental care. But new research has shown a new level of parental care in Ranitomeya imitator, that far exceed anything we have ever imagined. Through her research, Dr. Jen Moss has been able to understand a new complexity within the calls of Ranitomeya imitator that redefine our understanding amphibian parental behavior.It's my pleasure to have Jen as my guest this week and we discuss her new paper, "Evolution of Acoustic Signals Associated with Cooperative Parental Behavior in a Poison Frog."  We discuss her findings, the methods and technology she used, the implications of her findings, and what the future holds as she opens her own lab.To learn more please visit:https://www.pnas.org/doi/abs/10.1073/pnas.2218956120https://www.ekfischerlab.comhttps://www.jenmosslab.comTo Support the Podcast by becoming a patron, for merch, and for a 10 percent discount of an In Situ Ecosystem vivarium, visit : https://linktr.ee/AmphibiCast

ʻAʻo are endemic seabirds that serve important functions on both water and land.

Many of the decisions we make require us to compare numbers. Which car is most fuel efficient? How is a stock performing relative to the market? How risky is one medication versus another? A problem arises when we fail to make these comparisons in the right units.In this episode of Choiceology with Katy Milkman, we look at the mistakes we make when we overweight absolute numbers and neglect their relative value.Damon Lesmeister is a wildlife biologist in Oregon who studies a very special bird: the northern spotted owl. This iconic animal is struggling to survive in the old growth forests of the Pacific Northwest. Among other challenges, the northern spotted owl is being crowded out of its habitat by an invasive species: the barred owl. Conservationists are now faced with a difficult decision, but one that is made more clear by properly comparing the relative sizes of the two owl populations.Damon Lesmeister is a research wildlife biologist with the US Forest Service and holds courtesy faculty appointments with Oregon State University in the Departments of Fisheries and Wildlife, and Forest Engineering, Resources and Management.Next, Yale finance professor Kelly Shue joins Katy to talk about places where non-proportional thinking is likely to occur and why it''s such an easy mistake to make. She explains how the dollar value change of a share is much less important than the percentage change. Focusing solely on the dollar value can lead to consequential investor errors.Kelly Shue is a finance professor at Yale University and serves as an associate editor at The Journal of Finance and Journal of Financial Economics She previously served as an editor at the Review of Finance.You can read more about non-proportional thinking in financial markets in Kelly Shue's research paper co-authored with Rick Townsend.Finally, Katy discusses how you can avoid these non-proportional errors by making calculations that consider the denominator in any decision involving a ratio.Choiceology is an original podcast from Charles Schwab.
