UZH Bioacoustics Community
UZH Bioacoustics Community
The UZH bioacoustics community is designed to bring together researchers of the UZH working on, or interested in, bioacoustics. Participants learn and discuss methods (recording, preparing, analyzing animal calls), concepts and scientific papers. In addition, the group gives a platform for peer support and collaborations among the participants, along with talks from external experts.
