Audible and ultrasonic recordings support call detection and species classification. Connected observations support localisation and individual-animal re-ID research.
xEARXeroth Environment Acoustics and Radio
Bioacoustic and radio-frequency monitoring, detection, classification, localisation and re-identification. A growing family of sensing nodes, connected by a shared hub and an evidence-led approach.
A visual illustration of a call reaching a listening station and travelling outward through its network. Move across the landscape, tap, or use Send a call. No sound is played.
Acoustics + radio
Animal calls and radio emissions reveal different kinds of activity.
xEAR — Xeroth Environment Acoustics and Radio — brings both into a connected monitoring family. Acoustic nodes capture bird and bat calls. RF nodes investigate radio activity and its origin. Dedicated RF re-ID nodes preserve waveforms to study whether a transmitter has been encountered before.
Timing, original recordings and observation context connect detections to evidence that people can review.
Audible and ultrasonic recordings support call detection and species classification. Connected observations support localisation and individual-animal re-ID research.
Coordinated receivers explore bands for transient emissions. Signal characterisation and shared timing support research into classification and localisation.
A separate recorder design keeps selected original RF waveforms and receiver context for transmitter fingerprint research across encounters.
From a signal to evidence
Detection finds an event. Classification describes it. Localisation estimates its source. Re-identification investigates whether separate events came from the same animal or transmitter.

For people who care for landscapes
For conservation teams, land managers and researchers investigating wildlife and radio activity over time.
xEAR is in development. Acoustic and hub designs are selected; RF and RF re-ID remain architecture explorations. Field coverage, localisation accuracy and re-ID performance are not yet qualified. No system detects every call or transmission.
