Testimonial

Anurans in Iberia

Based on the powerful SM2 Recorder Platform, the SM2 Terrestrial Acoustic Package includes two SMX-II weather resistant acoustic microphones. Using the four alkaline "D" size internal batteries, the SM2 can record up to 240 hours spread out through weeks or months at a time. The collected data can then be analyzed with our Song Scope software.

"After testing different devices, we used Song Meters to complete a 3-year comparative study of the calling activity in 5 species of frogs and toads in thermal extremes of their distribution in Spain and Portugal. The reliability of the Song Meters proved to be quite satisfactory, and we are extending the acoustic monitoring of the populations intending to establish the first long-term monitoring system of anurans in Iberia and hoping to detect phenological trends related to climate change."
