warbleR: warbleR: A package to streamline bioacoustic analysis
Description
warbleR is a package designed to streamline analysis of (bio)acoustic signals in R. This
package allows users to collect open-access avian vocalizations data or input their
own data into a workflow that facilitates spectrographic visualization
and measurement of acoustic parameters. warbleR makes fundamental sound
analysis tools from the R package seewave, as well as new tools not yet
offered in the R environment, readily available for batch process analysis. The functions
facilitate searching and downloading avian vocalizations from Xeno-Canto
http://www.xeno-canto.org/, creating maps of Xeno-Canto recordings,
converting .mp3 files to .wav files, checking .wav files, automatically detecting acoustic signals, selecting
them manually, printing spectrograms of whole recordings or individual signals, measuring signal
to noise ratio, cross-correlation and performing acoustic measurements.
The warbleR package offers three overarching categories of
functions:
- Obtaining avian vocalization data
- Sound file management
- Streamlined
(bio)acoustic analysis in R
Obtaining avian vocalization data
querxc: Download recordings and metadata from Xeno-Canto xcmaps: Create maps to visualize the geographic spread of Xeno-Canto recordings imp.syrinx: Importing Syrinx selections imp.raven: Importing Raven selectionsManaging sound files
mp32wav: Convert several .mp3 files in working directory to .wav
format checkwavs: Check whether .wav files can be read by subsequent
functions and the minimum windows length ("wl" argument) that can be used wavdur: Determine the duration of sound filesStreamlining analysis of animal acoustic signal structure in R
