  • Global biodiversity, especially seabird populations like the African penguin, is declining, necessitating effective conservation strategies and population monitoring tools.
  • The research explored the use of passive acoustic monitoring (PAM) to estimate animal populations by analyzing ecstatic display songs (EDSs) in a penguin colony, revealing that environmental factors influence calling rates.
  • Findings indicated that there’s a positive correlation between calling rates and visual counts of penguins, suggesting PAM is a feasible, noninvasive method for monitoring endangered species while highlighting the potential impact of temperature on calling behavior and population dynamics.
