Abstract

Ecoacoustics aims at studying acoustic populations, communities, and landscapes for research in ecology. Ecoacoustics uses several acoustic indices to feature outdoor recordings. The main α and β ecoustic indices are reviewed one by one and statistic solutions are provided to treat dissimilarity matrices built with β indices.
