Automated Multisensor Station for Monitoring of Species Diversity (AMMOD)
Tracking biodiversity locally over long periods of time requires a great deal of effort. Microphones and computers could relieve researchers of field work.

Eavesdropping on biodiversity loss
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.

Legacies of animal sounds collectors
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.

Neighbourhood test: Agriculture and conservation
Conventional agriculture uses pesticides, while organic farming limits their use to a minimum. Researchers investigate how this affects the biodiversity of neighbouring nature reserves.

Hearing in Penguins
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.

Reference library for bat calls
Bats are usually detected via their echolocation sounds. 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.

Developing the animal sound archive as a digital research collection
The animal sound archive at the MfN is a unique resource of acoustic records that is now digitally converted to become an effective tool for biodiversity research.

Automated acoustic detection und acoustic pattern recognition
Bioacoustic methods are well suited to record the occurrence, distribution and behavioural patterns in individual animals or populations, thus making a synchronised and continuous record of aspects of biodiversity dynamics over long periods of time, using standardised methods.

Nightingale research case – a citizen science project on the natural and cultural history of nightingales
For the ‚nightingale research case‘, citizen scientists we will be recording nightingale songs with the Naturblick-App, and scientists and citizens will analyze these in regard to dialects and habitat preferences.
