Predicting Bird Community Recovery with Acoustic Indices

This repository contains the data and scripts for the manuscript:
"Acoustic indices predict taxonomic, functional, and phylogenetic recovery of bird communities in tropical forest restoration."

Manuscript Summary

Quantifying ecosystem restoration success is a priority of the UN Decade on Ecosystem Restoration.
In this study, we tested whether acoustic indices can effectively predict bird community recovery in abandoned agricultural areas within a biodiversity hotspot in Ecuador.

Using extensive sound recordings from lowland tropical forests, we:

  • Identified 334 bird species through expert annotation and AI-based recognition.
  • Calculated standard acoustic indices from the recordings.
  • Analyzed community composition using Hill numbers and accounting for incomplete sampling.
  • Evaluated predictions of taxonomic, functional, and phylogenetic diversity based on acoustic indices.

Key Findings

  • Acoustic indices predicted validated species data with R values between 0.59 and 0.76.
  • Taxonomic recovery was best predicted for common and dominant species.
  • Functional and phylogenetic recovery was best predicted for both rare and common species.
  • A small set of validated acoustic indices can serve as an efficient tool to monitor large-scale tropical restoration, including recovery of functionally rare bird species.
