(in Polish) Animal Bioacoustics 320-ERS-1ANBL
Substantive content:
• Animal bioacoustics covers all matters related to the production, transmission, and reception of sound in nature, as well as the investigation and use of natural sound by people and impacts of anthropogenic sounds by on animals.
• The course is divided into lectures and practicals that will focus on methods and data analysis for studying animal sound communication
• During lectures students will be presented with an overview of animal acoustic communication
• Practicals aim at giving the students hands-on experience of sound recording, sound analysis, and playback experiments
• Using interactive sound analysis software we will work on acoustic signals produced by birds, amphibians and insects from Poland and beyond
