Dear Colleagues,
The Physics and Astronomy Classification Scheme (PACS) is currently
undergoing a revision. PACS is a hierarchical subject classification
scheme designed to classify and categorize the literature of physics and
astronomy.
On behalf of the Animal Bioacoustics Committee of the Acoustical Society
of America, I would like to ask your suggestions for and feedback on
potential PACS subjects specifically for animal bioacoustics. We can
list up to 20 PACS subject headings. Perhaps think about the work that
you do and how it could best be classified, or what headings it might
best fit under.
Simply starting with the scope of animal bioacoustics from the ASA
website, such subject headings could be:
1. animal communication and associated behavior
2. animal biosonar
3. animal sound production anatomy and neurophysiology
4. auditory capacities and auditory mechanisms of animals
5. effects of man-made noise on animals
6. acoustic characterization of animal habitats (ambient noise, sound
propagation)
7. passive acoustic monitoring of animals
8. active acoustic applications in animal bioacoustics
9. instrumentation for animal bioacoustics
10. signal processing for animal bioacoustic data analysis
I look forward to your ideas. Please respond directly to me and not to
the entire list. If you would like to participate in small-group
discussions to finalize the subject headings, please let me know. The
list must be finalized prior to the ASA meeting in Baltimore, April
19-23, 2010.
Thank you very much for your thoughts.
