Using the Australian Acoustic Observatory website, I have been able to detect and analyze the activity of pink cockatoos at various sites across their distribution in Queensland and New South Wales. This research aims to understand how their activity correlates with different environmental factors, providing insights into their behavioral patterns and habitat preferences.

To determine the ability of the A2O to be useful for monitoring threatened species, we are currently searching all sites for the presence of vocal vertebrate species listed on the EPBC Act List of Threatened Fauna. This work is a follow-up to our recently published research note in Austral Ecology (Can an acoustic observatory contribute to the conservation of threatened species? See: https://doi.org/10.1111/aec.13398).
We have also developed call recognisers for the Red fox and the Dingo and are investigating their distribution across A2O sites as well as potential interactions between the two species and environmental drivers of their occurrence.
