TABMON

Towards a Transnational Acoustic Biodiversity Monitoring Network

Building Europe's largest acoustic biodiversity monitoring network autonomous acoustic sensors to study birds across diverse landscapes and seasons.

📚 Research Publications & conference participation

TABMON’s scientific output spans multiple disciplines including acoustic ecology, artificial intelligence, biodiversity monitoring, and conservation policy. Our research contributes to advancing both methodological frameworks and empirical understanding of European biodiversity patterns.

Master & Bachelor thesis

Stijn Geukes (UvA), thesis title: “Diurnal and spring-summer soundscape dynamics in Dutch habitats” [In progress]

Nedland, S. A., Sandberg, H., & Johnsen, E. (2025). Audiograb: Connecting an acoustic wildlife monitoring device to the 4G network (Bachelor’s thesis, NTNU).: The project developed a prototype device to collect data from wildlife sensors, compress it, and transmit it over 4G, using a custom PCB with an STM32 microcontroller, Raspberry Pi module, and LTE modem. While a fully functional prototype wasn’t completed, the hardware, SD-card emulation framework, and initial Python software provide a solid foundation for further development.
