Methods

Open bioacoustics tools, practical workflows, and curated learning resources.

Methods and reproducibility

This section documents the analytical methods used across my research, including acoustic representation, vocal-sequence analysis, behavioural alignment, and reproducible project structure. It also collects software I develop and annotated resources for bioacoustics and time-series analysis.

Note

In progress. The initial annotated resource collection is available. Method-specific overviews and individual software pages will be published after their documentation, validation examples, licences, and demonstration data are complete.

Growing collection

Open Tools

Scripts, packages, and analysis utilities documented with reproducible examples, intended scope, validation evidence, known limitations, software licences, and citation guidance.

Open-tools status

First collection live

Learning Resources

Tutorials, software, and methods papers annotated by analytical purpose, prerequisites, assumptions, and relevance to bioacoustic research.

Annotated resources

Documentation principles

  • Reproducible examples that connect a biological hypothesis to an estimand, model, and diagnostic procedure.
  • Explicit assumptions and limits on biological interpretation.
  • Small, inspectable demonstration datasets rather than sensitive locations or unreleased primary data.
  • Clear separation between exploratory visualization, descriptive analysis, predictive performance, and confirmatory inference.
  • Versioned code, software environments, and outputs sufficient to reproduce each example.

Building or testing a bioacoustics method?

Send me a note. I enjoy comparing workflows, testing methods on new datasets, and helping turn recurring analysis problems into useful tools. The idea does not need to be fully developed before we talk about it.
