The EUPRIM-Net Project

Course: Introduction to bioacoustic field methods: from recording to statistics

This short methods course will provide a brief introduction into the basic steps of bioacoustic research. We will discuss the physics of sound, mechanisms of sound production, acoustic analysis and field methods. A mini-project will focus on more practical skills, in particular recording techniques, and the selection and analysis of own recordings. Research carried out within the German Primate Center will be presented to demonstrate the practical application of acoustic analyses, including important statistical tools to answer relevant questions in the field of animal and human communication.
