Welcome to the second day of the @BES_Tropical and @BESConservation Joint Twitter conference #TropiCon20, discussing 'Advances in technology and innovative methods’!
We thoroughly enjoyed all the fantastic presentations and discussions from the first day of #TropiCon20. Around 320 of you joined in, with over 1,100 tweets and a potential audience of over 650,000. You can find a summary of all the presentations here bit.ly/367mOWz
We have a really exciting day planned for Day 2 of #TropiCon20! Today includes lightning Tweets ⚡ from 27 researchers, 15 presentations and a live Zoom closing ceremony.
1/5 Hi #TropiCon20 My work uses acoustic monitoring to understand the dynamics of nature. Recording the sounds produced in ecosystems (soundscapes) can reveal important information about animals and their habitats. This is a @TCDZoology & @EconomoLab collaboration, part of my PhD
2 #TropiCon20 The @OkeonChuramori Project monitors ecosystems in near real-time across the subtropical island of Okinawa. Led by Nick Friedman, we use @WildlifeAcoust SM4 recorders to study soundscape change along Okinawa's strong urban-rural gradient. And we have a LOT of data. 
3 #TropiCon20 Acoustic indices are used to rapidly and objectively summarise the soundscape and as indicators of biodiversity. But difficult sonic conditions (wind/rain, human activity, insect noise) could decouple acoustic indices from the biodiversity they supposedly represent.
