Open-Source 200-Euro Recorder Brings Bat Ultrasound to the Field
Original: Open-Source 200-Euro Recorder Brings Multichannel Bat Ultrasound to the Field
Researchers have developed an open-source ultrasound recorder costing around 200 euros that can capture multichannel recordings of bat echolocation calls in the field. The low-cost device makes it far easier for ecologists and citizen scientists to monitor bat populations, work that previously required expensive commercial equipment. Details of the design have been published for others to build and adapt.
Why now: The dramatically low cost and open-source nature of the device make bat research accessible to far more researchers and hobbyists.
