We are always pleased to hear that our products are making life easier for scientists. That's what one group from Charles University in Prague found when they published a study comparing conventional bird sampling using our Song Scape feature from our Song Scope feature. The research noted that the autonomous capability of the Song Meters was highly useful in studying birds in remote areas of the tropics.
Traditionally, there are many limitations to doing such a study in the conventional way. First, there are few experts who are available in the area. Second, samples must be taken throughout the year to get the whole picture. Finally, extra care must be taken to avoid confusing or missing species in the field sampling because the area's species-rich environment.
In the end, the researchers found the Song Meters and Song Scope software an easy-to-use and very efficient solution for sampling of several bird species. For more information, take a look at the poster.
