    Bufology with Priya Nanjappa Ologies Podcast May 7, 2019 Oh hey, it’s your sister’s new boyfriend, who you’re quietly judging because of his cracked phone screen and bad shoes, Alie Ward, back with another episode of Ologies. If this is your very first episode, just a few things. We swear a whole bunch in this; we swear in a lot of ‘em, most of ‘em. If you wish we didn’t, don’t freak out, there are bleeped episodes of the podcast available at AlieWard.com. I’ll put a link in the show notes. Moving the danged heck on. Okay so frickin’ toads. What are they? And are they the best or are they the worst? Are toads the unsung underdogs? Are they warty friends yet to be made? Or are they bastards? Do they belong in a heap of canceled beasts who don’t deserve our admiration? You’ll find out. But first, business, in which I thank everyone on Patreon.com/Ologies for their questions, for their patronhood, for making the show feasible and possible and just a joy to make. Also, thank you to everyone sporting Ologies merch from OlogiesMerch.com and everyone who just gets it and knows that making sure that you’re subscribed and rating the show helps us get seen by pre-ologites, people who don’t know about the show yet. Also, thanks to the kind folks who are leaving reviews, because you know that I read them when I’m in a hotel, eating gas station food, and they make my day.

  • Virtual Birding: Extending Birdwatching to Review Acoustic Recordings
    Virtual Birding: Extending Birdwatching to Review Acoustic Recordings Mark Cottman-Fields BInfTech (Queensland University of Technology) A thesis by monograph in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Human-Computer Interaction 2017 Principal Supervisor Professor Paul Roe Associate Supervisor Professor Margot Brereton Ecoacoustics Research Group Computer-Human Interaction Discipline Electrical Engineering and Computer Science School Science and Engineering Faculty Queensland University of Technology Brisbane, Queensland, Australia To those who love the dawn chorus i Keywords Human-Computer Interaction; Acoustic Sensing; Birdwatching; Birding; Birdwatchers; Birders; Field Research; Exploratory Prototype; Citizen Science; Acoustic Analysis; Interviews; User-centred Design; Website Interface; Audio Recording Review; Ecoacoustics; Serious Leisure; Expert Community; Human Computation; Domain Expertise; Collaborative Extension; Environmental Sound; Terrestrial Sensing; Research in the Wild ii Abstract Observations made by birders have been integral to avian research and conservation efforts for decades. However, broader sources of data about avian activity are needed, to improve the information available for environmental management. Technology advances have seen acoustic monitoring emerge as a new way to study birds. The ever-increasing raw data from acoustic sensors requires processing, to extract information about bird activity. This is a difficult analysis problem, as there are just under 900 bird species in Australia and most have multiple distinct, yet variable, calls. There is an opportunity to extend birding activities to include collection and review of recorded audio. Currently, no acoustic analysis interfaces are available to enable collaboration between ecologists and experienced birders. Effective interfaces require an understanding of the culture and practices of birders, along with how birders can apply their experience to the review of recorded audio.
