Fly, land, listen: Autonomous intermittent locomotion enables scalable low-noise drone ecoacoustic surveys

This paper introduces an autonomous drone platform for ecoacoustic surveys that uses intermittent locomotion to collect audio data without disturbing wildlife, achieving comparable biodiversity results to traditional methods.

Robotics-assisted acoustic surveys could deliver reliable, landscape-level biodiversity insights

This study evaluates UAV-based acoustic monitoring for biodiversity assessment, finding that sampling intensity affects results but not strategy, and highlights its utility for broad trends over exhaustive inventories.
