Verreycken and colleagues present a methods paper detailing construction of large, scalable microphone arrays for bio-acoustic monitoring of animal species. They demonstrate the efficacy of their method in detailing bat hunting echolocation beams with a 64-microphone array, and localizing songbirds across a larger habitat.
