We are excited to announce that the call for abstracts is now open and invite you to submit your proposal at the 6th World Ecoacoustics Congress (WEC), scheduled for 17th-20th of August 2026, in Cairns, Australia. 🎵 🐟 🐦 🐊 🐜 🦘 ecoacoustics2026.org/submissions/ca…

I am happy to share that our paper, published in Scientific Data (Bioacoustics Collection), has been accepted for publication. It describes a collection of 25 DOI folders containing South Pacific acoustic recordings, ranging from drifting antennas to classical PAM recordings!

I’m very pleased to share that my PhD thesis has been awarded the HERA Doctoral Thesis Award (2024-2025), granted by the Foundation for Future Generations! I am truly honored to join the HERA awardees community. @ULiegeRecherche @UniversiteLiege lnkd.in/eg4P2gSY

Exactly one month ago, I was wrapping up an inspiring research stay at @WHOI . I had the chance to work with outstanding scientists, learn a great deal about automatic detection, underwater robotics, and marine ecology, and collaborate with people THANK YOU to all of them!

Dear Ecology Community, Mark your calendars! The World Ecoacoustics Congress 2026 will be held in CAIRNS, AUSTRALIA from the 17th to the 21st of August! ecoacoustics2026.org Calls for symposia and workshops are currently open!

[ 🇸🇾 SYRIE ] 🔸 La Syrie dévoile de nouveaux billets de banque supprimant les portraits de Bachar et Hafez al-Assad, remplacés par des symboles naturels comme le blé, les olives, les roses ou les oranges. 🔹Selon les autorités, ce choix accompagne le changement de régime et vise à rompre avec le culte de la personnalité, tout en répondant à la crise monétaire par la suppression de deux zéros afin de faciliter les transactions et tenter de restaurer la confiance dans une monnaie fortement dévaluée depuis 2011.

@vdwnico Félicitations !!!

@Gabriele_Corno It's not a magpie, and it does not want to help, it wants to eat it.

@AMAZlNGNATURE Any location?

Logically which animal could take on a full grown male lion?

🎉 After years of work, our new paper is accepted in Journal for Nature Conservation 📷 A follow-up to our previous study on coral reef soundscapes published in RSOS, exploring fish sounds in MPAs in Moorea 📷sciencedirect.com/science/articl… #Ecoacoustics #MPA #CoralReef #Fish

The paper is out! 🎉 📢 "Highlighting the resilience potential of marine protected areas in the face of coral bleaching with passive acoustic monitoring" ✅ Open access & online now! 👉 royalsocietypublishing.org/doi/10.1098/rs…

Look what we've done to our planet. Just LOOK! 1.1 billion hectares of forest GONE since 1900!

From sunlit coral reefs to 300 m in pitch-black depths, fish communities sound different, and we’ve captured it.sciencedirect.com/science/articl… @RaickXavier @UniversiteLiege

“Evidence of vertical stratification in marine environments: insights from passive acoustic monitoring in French Polynesia” — accepted in Deep-Sea Research Part I. & “Exploring potential fish sound producers in Polynesian lower mesophotic coral reefs” — accepted in Coral Reefs.

I’m happy to share the acceptance of two of our articles! One focuses on the rariphotic zone, and the other on mesophotic reef fish. A big thank you to all our collaborators who made this possible. ⛵ 🏝️ 🪸

A record surge of sargassum hit the Caribbean in May, with more on the way. The thick seaweed is smothering coasts from Puerto Rico to Guyana, hurting tourism, killing wildlife, and releasing toxic gas that shut a school in Martinique. 📹 Reuben Bradshaw

I'm happy to share some great news with you—our article on using PAM to assess the resilience of marine protected areas has been accepted for publication in Royal Society Open Science! It’s a wonderful way to start the week.
