  abstract = {{E}coacoustic indices have become widely used tools for monitoring and characterizing soundscapes. {A}lthough they have proven useful for relating acoustic measurements to ecological patterns, their conceptual and methodological foundations remain debated. {H}ere, this {L}etter identifies five recurring limitations, ranging from theoretical disconnects to methodological shortcomings, that undermine their interpretability, reproducibility, and ecological relevance. {T}he {L}etter concludes by outlining a possible roadmap to address these limitations, including the adoption of auditory-inspired representations, the standardization of computational procedures, validation across contexts, and the use of more explainable modeling approaches.},
