Acoustic Monitoring of Tropical Bats: Saccopteryx bilineata's response to habitat and time across a restoration gradient using a 2D-CNN

Isabelle L Secord, Xiuhan Zhang, Rhys Preston-Allen, Cristina Banks-Leite

The paper develops a 2D-CNN to detect bat calls in acoustic data across a restoration gradient, finding that restoration plots have higher detection rates than forest habitats.
