Soundscapes approaches-the recording and analysis of sounds in a landscape-could address this shortcoming. In 2011, a massive wildfire named "the Horseshoe 2 Burn" occurred in the Chiricahua National Monument, Arizona, USA. We evaluated the impact of this wildfire on acoustic activity of animal communities. In 2013, soundscape recordings were collected over 9 months in 12 burned and 12 non-burned sites in four ecological systems. The seasonal and diel biological acoustic activity were described using the "Bioacoustic Index", a detailed aural analysis of sound sources, and a new tool called "Sonic Timelapse Builder" (STLB). Seasonal biophony phenology showed a diurnal peak in June and a nocturnal peak in October in all ecological systems. On June mornings, acoustic activity was lower at burned than at non-burned sites in three of four ecological systems, due to a decreased abundance of cicadas directly impacted by the death of trees. Aural analyses revealed that 55% of recordings from non-burned sites contained insect sounds compared to 18% from burned sites. On October nights, orthopteran activity was more prevalent at some burned sites, possibly due to post-fire emergence of herbaceous. Soundscape approaches can help address long-term conservation issues involving the responses of animal communities to wildfire. Acoustic methods can serve as a valuable complement to remote sensing for disturbance-based landscape management. specialized Soundscape Disturbance Wildfire Conservation biology Remote sensing Sonic timelapse ETATS UNIS ARIZONA 082 126 33 8 1399-1415 2018 0921-2973 https://www.documentation.ird.fr/hor/fdi:010073674 10.1007/s10980-018-0675-3 0921-2973 [F B010073674] https://www.documentation.ird.fr/hor/fdi:010073674 https://www.documentation.ird.fr/intranet/publi/2018/08/010073674.pdf Accès réservé (Intranet de l'IRD) IRD - Base Horizon / Pleins textes 2018-09-12 2023-07-11 fdi:010073674 fre
