Bioacoustics is a versatile methodology that allows researchers to study a vast range of systems based on the sounds that organisms make. This symposium explores its legacy, ongoing research, and current automated approaches. Attendees will gain a sense of how bioacoustic methods could be leveraged in their own study system.
