Comparable ecoacoustics findings demand synchronized global recording standards.

Evidence

Quality acoustic observations require standard methods and calibrated recorders. Significant findings using ecoacoustics will require multiple sampling stations around the world recording at the same time, using the same settings combined with rapid information processing facilities. — Bernie Krause and Almo Farina, Using Ecoacoustic Methods to Survey the…, 95
