<span style="color:black">Anyone who has been near a flying fox roost knows that flying foxes have a lot to say to each other. This often gets them into trouble with humans who don’t like to listen to them. Flying foxes are highly social and intelligent animals,
as such it follows that they are good at communication. Alinta Krauth has been employing machine listening to drop in on conversations by endangered native Grey-Headed Flying Foxes, in the hopes that we may find more interest, rather than distain, in their
voices. She has also taken the liberty of interpreting these vocalisations into human-perceptible concepts, based on known research into communication methods of this important keystone species. Using rigorous vocalisation classification and machine learning
models, she has produced a publicly accessible tool for listening to and interpreting this ‘bat chatter’ in real time using the public’s own mobile devices. The question then becomes, how do we interpret what we know about flying fox vocalisations into themes
that humans understand? Due to her history as a creative practitioner and writer, Alinta has chosen the approach of visualising bat chatter as disjointed, odd and animated poetry, speculating that if humans could understand flying fox voices, we would no doubt
be listening to endless disjointed, yet beautiful, arguments about pups, personal space, and of course, fruit!</span><span style="font-size:10.0pt;color:black"><o:p></o:p></span></p>

<span style="color:black">Dave Newell's research utilises sound recording to monitor cryptic species on remote mountain tops in the Gondwana World Heritage rainforests of northern New South Wales. Using this approach he has captured thousands of hours of forest
sound and developed an automated recognition system to sift through the data files looking for individual frog calls. The data provides a detailed assessment of the conditions under which these frogs call, which is a surrogate for breeding. The research includes
the development of climatic models using Geographic Information Systems to predict the impacts of global warming on these species and identification of management acIons to conserve these unique animals.</span><span style="font-size:10.0pt;color:black"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
