BirdNET detections of bird species from approximately 6-month and 3-month recording periods at forest sites in Peru and Gabon, respectively. Acoustic index values are also provided for sites in six countries and a Gabon forestry case study. The dataset is part of a publication by Zuzana Burivalova, released in 2026.
Use Cases
- Analyze bird species presence and temporal patterns based on BirdNET detections from Peru and Gabon
- Compare acoustic index values across different forest sites in six countries
- Evaluate the impact of forestry management on soundscapes based on the Gabon case study data
Strengths
- Includes data from two distinct geographic regions (Peru and Gabon)
- Contains acoustic index values for a multi-country comparison across six sites
- Data is associated with a peer-reviewed publication (Bioacoustic baselines for intact forest, Global Change Biology)
Limitations
- Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download
- Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment
Provenance
- Source
- figshare
- Collection Method
- Likely gathered via automated acoustic recording and BirdNET analysis, with expert verification as noted in the publication.
- Time Range
- Peru: 15 May 2023 to 25 October 2023; Gabon: 12 October 2022 to 19 Jan 2023; acoustic indices cover 5 days per site.
