Combined application of FTAN and cross-spectra analysis to ambient noise recorded by a microseismic monitoring network by Ilaria Barone, Alessandro Brovelli, Giorgio Tango, Sergio Del Gaudio, Giorgio Cassiani

“…Group and phase velocity dispersion curves have been jointly inverted to retrieve as many shear-wave velocity profiles as selected station pairs. While the average model can be used for a more accurate location of the local natural seismicity, the associated standard deviations give us an indication of the lateral heterogeneity of seismic velocities as a function of depth. …”

Vocal constraints on song amplitude in star finches Bathilda ruficauda by Hana Goto, Masayo Soma, Ayumi Mizuno, Henrik Brumm

“…This suggests that the frequency-amplitude correlation is a more general phenomenon in bird vocalisations, independent of the overall source amplitude of a species. While the evolution of birdsong is often viewed as constrained by neural costs and body size, or selective pressures from predators and social aggression, our results emphasise the importance of understanding phonetic features as well. …”
