TORONTO Nike Shox Avenue Womens Clearance , Jan. 6 (Xinhua) -- A group of Canadian scientists are studying the sounds of animal activity to predict long-term species sustainability and measure effectiveness of land reclamation, which they see as "listening in on climate change," said a media release from University of Alberta Wednesday.
A university researcher is successfully driving bioacoustics technology to record the soundscapes of Alberta wildlife. One of the ultimate goals of the project is to track the effects that climate change is having on our animal population.
"Technology has changed the way we survey for wildlife," said Erin Bayne Nike Shox Turbo 2 Womens Clearance , associate professor of biological sciences at the University of Alberta. "If it makes a sound, we can count it. This is giving us a whole new insight to animal behavior."
Bayne, along with his team of graduate students, is working with the Alberta Biodiversity Monitoring Institute (ABMI) on the new initiative. "In the past Nike Shox R4 Womens Clearance , people would basically go out in the woods, look for animals, stand there, listen for them Nike Shox NZ Womens Clearance , count them, and then walk away. You got only one snapshot," said Bayne.
The bioacoustic unit uses new technology to continuously record soundscapes up to months at a time. The group is working to have computers automatically identify species sounds, and they are also creating a central repository so that citizen scientists can assist with data entry.
"These machines are out there all the time. We are getting data on species that nobody has ever really monitored before Nike Shox Womens Clearance , because some of them call at 10 o'clock at night or two in the morning," times when the average bird watcher isn't necessarily out monitoring. "We've found things that we never would have found by just having people do it."
Their efforts are helping track the effects of climate change on long-term species sustainability. "One of the predictions is that migrating animals won't be able to keep up with the changes. We've never really known the exact timing when these animals arrive back for the season."
Bayne noted that this new technology will allow a series of these machines from Edmonton, the provincial capital city of Alberta, all the way to the Northwest Territories to track the exact arrival of the return of the migrating species. "We will know exactly when the birds arrive at any given point along that trajectory Nike Shox OZ 801 Mens Clearance , and we can start to track the changes in their arrival times year to year."
Bayne and his collaborators are also engaging technology to determine exact locations of the animals. "Sound travels at a fixed rate. If you put out three of these monitoring units and know the exact time when the sound was recorded, you can triangulate back and say, 'the bird was right there.'"
He noted that this is useful as a tool for assessing the effectiveness of land reclamation efforts by the energy and forestry sectors. "We can now tell you whether birds are using trees planted along seismic lines, for example."
Industry is using the technology to monitor for their environmental impact assessments. Along with ABMI Nike Shox Avenue Mens Clearance , Bayne is pushing this new technology to become the provincial standard monitoring protocol in west Canada.

BEIJING， Feb. 28 (Xinhua) -- Archives and witness statements have indicated that Taiwan's "February 28 Uprising" had nothing to do with "Taiwan independence".
Tuesday marks the 70th anniversary of the uprising.
Some witnesses recalled the occasion， saying that there were no slogans or leaflets advocating "Taiwan independence" during the campaign， and most Taiwan people believed that ideas advocating "Taiwan independence" are false and absurd.
"What the Taiwan people are seeking is local autonomy， rather than separating from the motherland，" Li Wei-kuang， head of a Taiwan people association in Shanghai， was quoted by archives as saying.
As "Taiwan independence" secessionist forces described the uprising as a conflict between provinces， Li recalled that people in Taiwan were not against people from other provinces， but only hoped to seek their help and cooperate with them.
On Feb. 28， 1947， a Kuomintang (KMT) party enforcement team assaulted a woman near Taipei railway station as she was selling contraband cigarettes.
The incident caused a bloody confrontation between Taiwan civilians and the KMT authorities， which developed into an island-wide movement against the despotic rule of the KMT.
The uprising was a spontaneous mass movement of the people of Taiwan for democracy and autonomy， but some people in Taiwan interpret the uprising as a "Taiwan independence" movement， completely distorting the true story.
An Fengshan， spokesperson for the Taiwan Affairs Office of the State Council， told a press conference last month that "Taiwan independence" secessionist forces twisted the uprising for their own gain， adding that their intentions are despicable.
The Taiwan people have a glorious tradition of patriotism， and participants of the uprising made enormous contributions to territorial integrity.
