Acoustic ecology must be studied on location, not in the laboratory
Evidence
Ecology is the study of the relationship between living organisms and their environment. Acoustic ecology is therefore the study of sounds in relationship to life and society. This cannot be accomplished by remaining in the laboratory. It can only be accomplished by considering on location the effects of the acoustic environment on the creatures living in it. — Schafer, Murray R, The Soundscape- Our Sonic Environment…, 668

Categorization
- DEFINE: Defines the field of acoustic ecology and its field-based method.
- SEED: Could anchor an essay on how environmental sound research requires on-site listening rather than lab isolation.
- corroborated: 3 independent passages support this claim — Schafer, Murray R, The Soundscape- Our Sonic Environment…, 668
- XREF: connects to: Anti-noise strategies fail because they cannot restore listening connection to the land — Gordon Hempton, John Grossmann, One Square Inch of Silence- One Man’s…, 21; Acoustic park design should let natural sounds speak for themselves. — Schafer, Murray R, The Soundscape- Our Sonic Environment…, 832; Audio research effort is inverted relative to where people actually listen
