Without kindness and compassion for all of Mother Nature’s creatures, there can be no true joy; no internal peace, no happiness. Happiness flows from caring for all sentient beings as if they were your own family, because in essence they are. We are all connected to each other and to the Earth.” Sylvia Dolson “The oceans are the planet's last great living wilderness, man's only remaining frontier on Earth, and perhaps his last chance to prove himself a rational species.” John L. Culliney iii Abstract The potential impacts of man-made underwater noise in the oceans has been of growing concern in recent decades. To monitor marine fauna populations that produce sound and assessing potential impacts, passive acoustic monitoring (PAM) has become popular because of its relatively low cost. Although PAM has great potential for monitoring of baleen whale populations, the acoustical baseline to develop an optimal monitoring plan is yet in development. To optimise PAM for baleen whales and improve the accuracy on ecological parameters estimates (e.g. population trends), its biases and limitations need to be understood. This study aimed to improve our current knowledge of biases and limitations of PAM for pygmy blue whales (Balaenoptera musculus brevicauda) and humpback whales (Megaptera novaeangliae) that migrate through Geographe Bay, Western Australia. Underwater sound recording using a single stationary recorder and land-based theodolite tracking were undertaken concurrently during the whale migratory season in 2010-2011 and 2013-2014. These data were used to: (1) describe the acoustic repertoire of each species, where information had not been reported previously (2) compare commonly used methods for measuring relative indices of abundance; including acoustic energy, counts of vocalising groups of whales (based on the known acoustic repertoire), and counts of groups of whales observed visually, (3) evaluate biological, environmental, and anthropogenic influences on numbers of vocalising groups detected in recordings (‘vocalisation rates’), (4) compare estimated detection probabilities for each species under different environmental and anthropogenic conditions using acoustic and visual observations and (5) make recommendations for the development of optimal monitoring protocols for pygmy blue and humpback whales in Western Australia using PAM. Sounds in the vocal repertoire included 17 non-song sounds produced by humpback whales and five by blue whales. Vocalisation rates varied widely between species, with humpback whales detected more frequently than pygmy blue whales. Vocalisation rates also varied among years and over each migratory season, and between the type of sound (song or non-song); but not with environmental conditions and vessel presence. Sound energy measured in the form of signal-to-noise ratio was highly correlated with number of vocalising groups for humpback whales but only when temporal factors and presence of vessels was accounted for. Correlation between sound energy and number of groups visually counted was low for both species. Overall, humpback whales had a higher acoustic detection probability and were vocal for longer periods of time than blue whales. In iv contrast to pygmy blue whales, humpback whales had cohort-specific detection biases with groups of mother-calf pairs or multiple adults having a lower probability of detection. As a result of detection biases and variability in vocalisation rates over time and between species and sound types identified in this study, it is clear that PAM protocols cannot be generalised over the two species. A concurrent acoustic and visual observation pilot study is recommended where possible before undertaken a purely PAM-based program, if knowledge of a species’ acoustic behaviour and ecology within certain habitats is unknown. In this way, recording schedules can be optimised and species-specific adjustments can be made to maximise the likelihood of detecting less vocal species or quieter cohorts. Ultimately, optimizing monitoring to achieve these goals will improve the accuracy of knowledge gained. Thus, species that require long-term monitoring, such as baleen whales, could perhaps have an initial higher-cost pilot study with the aim of a longer-term more cost-effective approach (PAM); thus making improving the basis for conservation and management of baleen whales more widely accessible. v This page has been deliberately left blank vi This thesis is dedicated to my family and friends who supported and encouraged me every step of the way; to all the dreamers who fight for making a difference in this crazy world; and to mother earth vii Acknowledgments Since finishing my undergraduate studies, one of my goals was to pursue a PhD program. I knew little about the hard and lonely journey that a PhD is, and even more when you are in a country that is not your own, with a language that is not your own, with no friends and little money. Since starting this journey, ups and downs, sickness and fears have crossed my path, but all these experiences helped me to grow as a professional and more important as a human being. The knowledge you acquire during a PhD program goes beyond the academic scope; you learn so much from supervisors, friends, fellow students, mentors, academics, administration and everyone around you. I want to acknowledge and thank them all. First of all, the official thanks. This study was part of the South West Whale Ecology Study (SouWEST, https://souwest.org/). SouWEST was supported by grants from Australian Geographic; the International Fund of Animal Welfare (IFAW); The Department of Fisheries from Western Australia; and Holsworth Wildlife Research Endowment (Equity Trustees Charitable Foundation and the Ecological Society of Australia). I would also like to thank the Department of Spatial Sciences at Curtin University for lending their theodolites to us. To our SouWEST Partners, Chris Burton from Western Whale Research, Ron Glencross from Dunsborough Coast and Land Care (DCALC) and Iain Wise, thank you for your support and help during fieldwork. In addition, thank you to Eric Kniest from the University of Newcastle for helping us set up Cyclops and VADAR for theodolite tracking and for all his advice for land-based data analysis. Also to Sea Rescue for their unconditional support deploying and retrieving the recorders in Geographe Bay. Secondly, I would like to thank my four supervisors, Dr. Chandra Salgado Kent, Dr. Christine Erbe, Dr. Hugh Possingham and Dr. Robert McCauley. Chandra was my principal supervisor, but more than that a mentor and a friend. Thank you for all your support and for been so patient; for teaching me to see the good in every situation always and for showing me how to be diplomatic in complex circumstances. I also want to thank you for teaching me that accepting your limits is not weakness but strength. I will always treasure those fieldwork adventures where surrounded by nature you show me how to handle difficult situations and conquer my fears (snakes included!). But most of all, thank you for showing me how to be compassionate and give volunteers a great life experience. Having had my fair share viii of not so positive volunteer and work experiences, working with a researcher that values everyone's capabilities was an inspiration. I especially wanted to thank you for supporting my ideas, even when they sounded a little bit unconventional, and for guiding me to achieve them through very constructive discussions. You help me to be more critical not only of others ideas but of my own. Thank you for everything you teach me during the last seven years of working together and for your friendship. I hope our friendship continues and that we keep working together for many years more. Por cierto, las arepas son colombianas! Christine, although we did not have the opportunity to spend much time together or to share fieldwork, I learnt so much from you, not just about physics but also about how to be a strong and compassionate leader. Thank you for having the patience to explain to me the same basic concepts over and over again, and for answering my really silly questions. I know many times we ended up “lost in translation” because of my poor communication skills or my bad grammar, but I am glad we always managed to sort the obstacles and find solutions. I really admire your optimism, your strength and your enthusiasm for new ideas, even the crazy ones. Thank you for your support and understanding at all times. Hugh, I cannot thank you enough for all your mentorship and advice, for opening the doors of your lab, for giving me the opportunity to learn and grow as part of CEED and, for always giving me some time in your crazy schedule.

Anuran vocalizations, such as advertisement and release calls, are informative for taxonomy because species recognition can be based on those signals. Thus, a proper acoustic description of the calls may support taxonomic decisions and may contribute to knowledge about amphibian phylogeny. Methods. Here we present a perspective on advertisement call descriptions of the frog subfamily Lophyohylinae, through a literature review and a spatial analysis presenting bioacoustic coldspots (sites with high diversity of species lacking advertisement call descriptions) for this taxonomic group. Additionally, we describe the advertisement and release calls of the still poorly known treefrog, Itapotihyla langsdorffii. We analyzed recordings of six males using the software Raven Pro 1.4 and calculated the coefficient Submitted 24 February 2018 of variation for classifying static and dynamic acoustic properties. Accepted 30 April 2018 Results and Discussion. We found that more than half of the species within the Published 31 May 2018 subfamily do not have their vocalizations described yet. Most of these species are Corresponding author distributed in the western and northern Amazon, where recording sampling effort Lucas Rodriguez Forti, should be strengthened in order to fill these gaps.

Abstract Natural history of the marsupial frog Gastrotheca albolineata (Anura: Hemiphractidae) in lowland Brazilian Atlantic Forest. Gastrotheca albolineata is a marsupial frog endemic to the Atlantic Forest in southeastern Brazil. It remains poorly studied in nature and is uncommon in herpetological collections. We studied the natural history of G. albolineata during a four-year period (2015 to 2019), in Ubatuba, São Paulo state, Brazil, at its southernmost distribution. Our results show that G. albolineata is arboreal, perches from low to medium heights, and breeds during the dry season without chorus aggregation. Calling activity occurs during the day but is more intense during the first half of the night. We used dorsal body markings to identify individuals. Six individuals were recaptured during the study, indicating site fidelity during the active season.

Ginal, E-mail: [email protected] Received: 17. September 2020 / Accepted: 21. December 2020 / Available online: 28. December 2020 / Printed: June 2021 Abstract. Based on the species specificity of anuran vocalization, bioacoustics can be utilized in terms of species identification and species delimitation. The genus Theloderma comprises 23 to 29 species, depending on inclusion of the (sub)genera Nyctixalus and Stelladerma, from which the majority of 14 species was described in this century. In spite of numerous publications about species descriptions and phylogenetics, studies about life history traits, particularly about advertisement calls, are lacking for the most species. In this study, acoustic signals of the mossy or bug-eyed frogs Theloderma corticale, T. albopunctatum and T. licin were recorded, and detailed temporal and spectral advertisement call properties are presented and compared to other congenerics (T. auratum, T. stellatum, T. vietnamense). We found that the advertisement calls of the six herein compared species are species-specific and are significantly distinguishable from each other. While the temporal features (i.e. arrangement in call groups, note repetition rate) are species-specific call properties, the spectral features (i.e. dominant frequency) can partially overlap among the small-sized species.

  • Anurans from the Mountain Chain Serra Do Mar: a Critical Area for Amphibian Conservation in the Atlantic Forest, Brazil
    Herpetology Notes, volume 10: 547-560 (2017) (published online on 16 October 2017) Anurans from the mountain chain Serra do Mar: a critical area for amphibian conservation in the Atlantic Forest, Brazil Felipe Siqueira Campos1, 2,* and Ricardo Lourenço-de-Moraes3 Abstract. We present an anuran inventory of the mountain region of the Serra do Mar, Brazil, located in the Atlantic Forest biome. We conducted a fieldwork comprising the major and best well-preserved Atlantic Forest remnants from Brazil, using acoustic and visual nocturnal/diurnal assessments. In total, we recorded 99 anuran species, of which about 70% are endemic to the Atlantic Forest and represent around 20% of all amphibian species described for this biome. The high levels of endemism, the distribution patters and the conservation status of the anuran species turn the mountains of the Serra do Mar into a key conservation region for amphibians within the Atlantic Forest hotspot. Keywords. Amphibia, Atlantic Forest, species inventory, species distribution, conservation. Introduction recognized amphibian species and several more species that still need to be described (Silva and Casteleti, 2003; The Atlantic Forest biome represents one of the Haddad et al., 2013). five most important biodiversity hotspots on Earth The Serra do Mar is a mountain chain that extends (Mittermeier et al., 2011). Originally, it covered around for more than 1,000 km (Almeida and Carneiro, 1998), 1,500,000 km2 of which only about 12% (194,524 km2) stretching from the south of the Espírito Santo state remains in Brazil, Paraguay and Argentina (Ribeiro to the North of the Rio Grande do Sul state (Rizzini, et al., 2009), corresponding to about 100,000 km2 of 1979; Olson et al., 2001).
