TITLE:

Effect of Soundscape on the Acoustic Activity of Anurans

KEY WORDS:

Noise Pollution, Ecological Soundscape, Bioacoustics, Conservation.

PAGES: 40
BIG AREA: Ciências Biológicas
AREA: Zoologia
SUMMARY:

The increasing emission of anthropogenic noise in the natural environment has been investigated by soundscape studies. Based on the premise that it is necessary to better understand the different sound interactions in the environment, the acoustic landscape of restinga areas in the state of Bahia, with different stages of urbanization, will be characterized, aiming to quantify the components of the soundscape and environmental factors on the variables acoustics of presence or absence of recorded species. Acoustic occupancy graphs will be generated, and analysis will be made of the frequency spectrum bands most used throughout the day, as well as a comparison of acoustic variables with climatic parameters through a principal component analysis. Based on this analysis, occupancy and detectability of the acoustic activity of anurans will be carried out in relation to the numbers referring to the soundscape composition of both locations. It is expected that the analyzes can contribute to maintaining the environment and suggest environments with relevant biophonic prevalence in relation to anthrophonic and geophonic components. This direct way of obtaining environmental quality data proves to be an important tool for identifying locations with potential for conservation.
