In our project, we establish a freely accessible library of calls of European bats to support acoustic species identification and the development of pattern recognition algorithms.
SP3 Digital World and Information Science, Science Data Management, Biodiversity InformaticsResearch, Morphology, Protection of Species, Evolution Hörfähigkeiten von Pinguinen In a co-operative project with the Deutsches Meeresmuseum Stralsund, we study the hearing of penguins. The MfN is responsible for establishing a database containing audiograms, managing the data, as well as providing environmental education and multimedia material to support the project.
Biodiversity InformaticsResearch, Mammals, Protection of Species, Biodiversity, Cooperation Nachbarschaftstest: Ackerbau und Naturschutz Conventional agriculture uses pesticides, while organic farming limits their use to a minimum. Researchers investigate how this affects the biodiversity of neighbouring nature reserves.
SP3 Digital World and Information Science, Biodiversity InformaticsResearch Infrastructure, Collection, Digitalization, Laboratories Vermächtnisse von Stimmensammlern Thousands of sound recordings testify to the great passion of two animal sounds collectors. Their recordings have been made accessible at the Museum für Naturkunde Berlin.
SP3 Digital World and Information Science, Biodiversity InformaticsResearch, Research Infrastructure, Transfer, Knowledge Transfer, Protection of Species, Biodiversity Lauschangriff auf Artenschwund Acoustic recording of animal species in a given area is costly. A sensor system co-developed at the Museum für Naturkunde Berlin can provide reliable data quickly and cost-effectively.
