The combined effectiveness of acoustic indices in measuring bird species richness in biodiverse sites in Cyprus, China, and Australia by Christos Mammides, Pan Wuyuan, Guohualing Huang, Rachakonda Sreekar, Christina Ieronymidou, Aiwu Jiang, Eben Goodale, Harris Papadopoulos

“…In this study, we use data from 114 biodiverse sites in three countries, Cyprus, China, and Australia, to evaluate the combined effectiveness of sixty different acoustic indices in measuring bird species richness. Using the Boruta feature selection algorithm and random forest regressors, we find that the effectiveness of the indices varies considerably across study areas, and it is generally lower than what would be required to monitor bird species richness accurately (R2Cyprus = 0.06, R2China = 0.31, R2Australia = 0.52). …”
