24 April Bioacoustic monitoring of New Zealand birds before and after aerial 1080 operations

Aerial 1080 operations are subject to significant controversy, with claims that forests fall silent following drops. Roald Bomans used bioacoustics, a developing area in ecology, to monitor native bird species in the Remutaka and Aorangi Ranges. He investigates this claim over the aerial 1080 operations and presents his methods and results. Roald is the first recipient of the Michael Taylor Bequest Study Grant.
