Resumen:

The evolution of the study of ecoacoustics provides a theoretical foundation from which people may begin examining socio-ecological dynamics at higher spatiotemporal resolutions and developing new variables and suites of system indicators of current and desired biophysical conditions. This chapter primarily focuses on potential and actual contributions of ecoacoustics to the study and assessment of biodiversity. It discusses the types of biological information in the soundscape and how such information could benefit biodiversity studies, and then briefly reviews the technical aspects of sampling the soundscape and utilizing sound information in conventional biodiversity assessments. In addition to providing recordings in which the number and identity of sources of sounds in the biophony can be calculated to supplement measures of species richness, ecoacoustic studies can yield more detailed biological information and elucidate systemic characteristics. The chapter concludes with a short reflection on how ecoacoustics may encourage greater collaboration between the natural and social sciences. © 2017 John Wiley & Sons Ltd. All rights reserved.
