  9. Biodiversity XL Live: The Sound of Biodiversity

    Event
    Yet another fascinating episode is coming up for the BiodiversityXL Live short livestream series: the Sound of Biodiversity!

But let's not forget about our ears. Sound can tell a lot about the presence of species, but also about their behaviour. Sounds we can hear, like bird songs, but also sounds we can not hear. How do we monitor biodiversity via sound?
