*Bioacoustics Data Analysis with R (BIAC06)*

*Analyse Animal Acoustic Signals for Ecology, Behaviour, and Conservation*

https://prstats.org/course/bioacoustics-data-analysis-biac06/

Learn to turn raw animal sound recordings into meaningful ecological data
using R.

Bioacoustics is now a core tool for studying behaviour, biodiversity, and
environmental change. This hands-on course introduces the principles of
animal acoustic signal research and teaches practical workflows for
analysing acoustic data in R, from spectrograms to annotation and
quantitative signal analysis.

*Course details*

   -

   *Format:* Live online
   -

   *Duration:* 5 days, 4 hours per day
   -

   *Next date:* 19?23 October 2026
   -

   *Fee:* ?400

------------------------------

*What you will learn*

   -

   Fundamentals of animal acoustic signal analysis
   -

   Handling and organising acoustic data in R
   -

   Building and interpreting spectrograms using Fourier methods
   -

   Importing and refining annotations from Raven Pro
   -

   Quantifying acoustic signal structure
   -

   Quality control and validation of recordings and annotations

------------------------------

*Who should attend*

Ecologists, conservation scientists, behavioural biologists, wildlife
researchers, postgraduate students, and analysts working with acoustic
monitoring data or interested in bioacoustic methods.

Participants should be comfortable with basic R workflows and statistical
concepts such as hypothesis testing and GLMs.
------------------------------

*Why take this course*

Acoustic monitoring is increasingly used in biodiversity surveys, species
detection, and behavioural ecology. This course provides practical,
reproducible workflows so you can confidently analyse large audio datasets
and extract biologically meaningful results.
