173 results about "Tool use by animals" patented technology

Tool use by animals is a phenomenon in which an animal uses any kind of tool in order to achieve a goal such as acquiring food and water, grooming, defense, recreation or construction. Originally thought to be a skill possessed only by humans, some tool use requires a sophisticated level of cognition. There is considerable discussion about the definition of what constitutes a tool and therefore which behaviours can be considered true examples of tool use. A wide range of animals, including mammals, birds, fish, cephalopods, and insects, are considered to use tools.

A bird acoustic diversity index method with low sensitivity to noise

This invention discloses a method for a bird acoustic diversity index with low sensitivity to noise. The method first obtains the time-frequency power spectrum of field bird call monitoring data during the analysis period using short-time Fourier transform. Then, based on narrowband noise level estimation, it calculates candidate floating detection thresholds for each frequency point that meet local signal-to-noise ratio requirements. The full-scale relative level threshold is used as the lower limit to obtain the frequency-varying detection threshold after binarization of the time-spectrum. Finally, the Shannon index is calculated by counting the number of time-frequency points in each sub-band where the power is higher than the detection threshold, resulting in the acoustic diversity index based on frequency-varying threshold detection. This invention effectively addresses the fundamental limitation of ADI (Ambient Audio Diversity Index) being highly sensitive to noise, while remaining fully compatible with the ecological interpretations and findings of existing ADI studies. It provides a new tool for achieving stable and reliable rapid assessment of bird species diversity, and is of great significance for ecological and environmental acoustic monitoring.
