  1. Freshwater conservation is vital to the maintenance of global biodiversity. Ponds are a critical, yet often under-recognized, part of this, contributing to overall ecosystem functioning and diversity. They provide habitats for a range of aquatic, terrestrial, and amphibious life, often including rare and declining species.
  2. Effective, rapid, and accessible survey methods are needed to enable evidence-based conservation action, but freshwater taxa are often viewed as “difficult”—and few specialist surveyors are available. Datasets on ponds are therefore limited in their spatiotemporal coverage.
  3. With the advent of new recording technologies, acoustic survey methods are becoming increasingly available to researchers, citizen scientists, and conservation practitioners. They can be an effective and noninvasive approach for gathering data on target species, assemblages, and environmental variables. However, freshwater applications are lagging behind those in terrestrial and marine spheres, and as an emergent method, research studies have employed a multitude of different sampling protocols.
  4. We propose the Pond Acoustic Sampling Scheme (PASS), a simple protocol to allow a standardized minimal sample to be collected rapidly from small waterbodies, alongside environmental and methodological metadata. This sampling scheme can be incorporated into a variety of survey designs and is intended to allow access to a wide range of participants, without requiring complicated or prohibitively expensive equipment.
  5. Adoption of this sampling protocol would enable consistent sound recordings to be gathered by researchers and conservation organizations, and allow the development of landscape-scale surveys, data sharing, and collaboration within an expanding freshwater ecoacoustic community—rather than individual approaches that produce incompatible datasets. The compilation of standardized data would improve the prospects for effective research into the soundscapes of small waterbodies and aid freshwater conservation efforts.

池塘声学采样方案:小型水体中快速声学数据收集的协议草案

  1. 淡水保护对于维护全球生物多样性至关重要。池塘是其中一个关键但往往未被充分认识的部分,有助于整体生态系统功能和多样性。它们为一系列水生、陆生和两栖生物提供栖息地,通常包括稀有和衰退的物种。
  2. 需要有效、快速和易于使用的调查方法来实现基于证据的保护行动,但淡水类群通常被视为“困难”——而且很少有专业调查员可用。因此,池塘数据集的时空覆盖范围有限。
  3. 随着新记录技术的出现,研究人员、公民科学家和保护从业人员越来越多地使用声学调查方法。它们可以成为收​​集目标物种、组合和环境变量数据的有效且非侵入性的方法。然而,淡水应用落后于陆地和海洋领域,作为一种新兴方法,研究采用了多种不同的采样方案。
  4. 我们提出了池塘声学采样方案 (PASS),这是一个简单的协议,可以从小型水体中快速收集标准化的最小样本以及环境和方法学元数据。这种抽样方案可以纳入各种调查设计,旨在允许访问范围广泛的参与者,而无需复杂或过于昂贵的设备。
  5. 采用这种采样协议将使研究人员和保护组织能够收集一致的录音,并允许在不断扩大的淡水生态声学社区内开展景观规模调查、数据共享和协作——而不是产生不兼容数据集的个别方法。标准化数据的汇编将改善对小型水体声景进行有效研究的前景,并有助于淡水保护工作。
