Dr. Eric Montie Publishes two new Papers on Estuarine Soundscapes

Eric Montie, Ph.D., associate professor of Biology and director of the Marine Sensory and Neurobiology Lab & the Lowcountry Dolphin Conservation Program, reports on the publication of two new research papers in 2019. The first, “Sound patterns of snapping shrimp, fish, and dolphins in an estuarine soundscape of the Southeastern USA,” was published in the Marine Ecology Progress Series. Dr. Montie and his lab manager and research associate, Angieszka Monczak, who is now a Ph.D. student at the University of Aberdeen Scotland, equally contributed to this work. The second, “Automatic detection, classification, and quantification of sciaenid fish calls in an estuarine soundscape in the Southeast United States,” was published in PloS ONE. Dr. Montie complimented Dr. Yiming Ji and the Department of Computer Science for “great collaboration” with the Department of Natural Sciences.
