Research shows bioacoustics enhances understanding of species richness in avian communities, suggesting vital conservation measures.

Ninety-eight bird species were identified, with greater species richness found in semi-deciduous seasonal forest (SSF).
Acoustic indices were evaluated, revealing limited impact on species richness but notable differences in soundscapes between forest types.
Analysis involved deploying SongMeters for bioacoustic recordings, employing Raven Pro for soundscape profiling and community composition assessment.
Findings highlight the potential of bioacoustics for monitoring biodiversity, emphasizing the need for further conservation studies in these habitats.

Grundy et al. (2025) studied this question.
