Welcome to c/DigitalBioacoustics, a unique niche in the vast universe of online forums and digital communities. At its core, bioacoustics is the study of sound in and from living organisms, an intriguing intersection of biology and acoustics. Digital bioacoustics, an extension of this field, involves using technology to capture, analyze, and interpret these biological sounds. This community is dedicated to exploring these fascinating aspects of nature through a digital lens.
As you delve into c/DigitalBioacoustics, you'll notice it's not just another technical forum. This space transcends the usual drone of server rooms or the monotonous tap-tap of keyboards. Here, members engage in a unique fusion of natural wonders and technological prowess. Imagine a world where the rustling of leaves, the chirping of birds, and the mysterious calls of nocturnal creatures meet the precision of digital recording and analysis.
Within this domain, we, the participants, become both observers and participants in an intricate dance. Our mission is to unravel the mysteries of nature's soundtrack, decoding the language of the wild through the lens of science. This journey is not just about data and graphs; it's about connecting with the primal rhythm of life itself.
As you venture deeper, the poetic essence of our community unfolds. Nature's raw concert, from the powerful songs of mating calls to the subtle whispers of predator and prey, creates a tapestry of sounds. We juxtapose these organic melodies with the mechanical beeps and buzzes of our equipment, a reminder of the constant interplay between the natural world and our quest to understand it.
Our community embodies the spirit of curious scientists and nature enthusiasts alike, all drawn to the mystery and majesty of the natural world. In this symphonic melding of science and nature, we discover not just answers, but also new questions and a deeper appreciation for the complex beauty of our planet.
c/DigitalBioacoustics is more than a mere digital gathering place. It's a living, breathing symphony of stories, each note a discovery, each pause a moment of reflection. Here, we celebrate the intricate dance of nature and technology, the joy of discovery, and the enduring quest for understanding in a world filled with both harmony and dissonance.
For those brave enough to explore its depths, c/DigitalBioacoustics offers a journey like no other: a melding of science and art, a discovery of nature's secrets, and a celebration of the eternal dance between the wild and the wired.

Ha!
I promise I am not a bioacoustician, I just have an eclectic background.
This article covers an experiment that suggests plants may have a type of vision. It’s a good example of a tantalizing finding that demands to be explained.

As a follow up to comment on your posted article, it’s a very compelling summary. I wonder if the greatest obstacle to advancement of plant psychoacoustics is our lack of patience. Plants operate on a very different timescale and we are such hasty primates.
Yeah, it is true they are so slow. This is also an issue with fungal computers so far as I know. They are able to do some interesting calculations, just on at a very slow speed.
Nice! I'm actually the same, not at all a bioacoustician, just interested. This vine sounds crazy, I remember hearing about this, It's amazing that these are not a popular house plant, it seems like people would love to have a vine that mimics.
Now that I think of it, there is a grass I've been around a bit called sleeping grass that closes up when you block off its light with your hand, it seems like that must be a vision thing in some sense.
By the way, the book that this article is taken from "The Sounds of Life" is really great.
