After the introduction of the Orthoptera, XC is now ready to expand to other groups. First up are the 1500 species of bats of the world! This new extensions was done with help from Gloriana Chaverri, bat expert from Costa Rica, and Marcelo Araya Salas, an ecologist and bioacoustics expert we all know well from developing WarbleR, and generous financial support from NLBIF.
XC focuses on sharing real-time recordings of bats, as explained in the FAQ. You can also learn there how to convert recordings from time-expanded to real-time.
Awesome! Thanks very much as always!
I guess the separate counter for background ids does not hold for soundscape recordings?
.... I think all background ID's count Frank, including those on soundscapes. In any case they should :-)
I have now checked my recordings – approximately 140 soundscapes versus 104 background species. Seems they do not count ..
Ah sorry, it's background IDs. Finally it hits home :))
hmm, well, you're really supposed to name 1 bacground species for each soundscape, so something does not add up :-) Do all your background species appear as links?
All but a handful of mammals do appear als links.
Right. We'll have a look.
I'm not sure what exactly the term Background IDs means: Is it the number of different species? In that case, 104 could be correct. Or is it the number of listed background species - individual species are each time counted whenever they are noted as background?
... the idea is the latter, but not sure it works out that way for soundscapes. Pretty sure it does for single species recordings, just check some of the astronomical figures some recordists have notched up.
