This is the first call for the second African Bioacoustics Community (ABC) Conference. The conference will be held between 1 and 6 November 2020 in Stellenbosch, South Africa and is being hosted by the University of Stellenbosch and Sea Search Research and Conservation. This conference has a strong marine mammal focus, as acoustic methodology is a common and important tool in marine mammal research, used for passive acoustic monitoring, behavioural studies, and marine mammal conservation. As a result, there will be many talks concerning bioacoustics research done on marine mammals and a plenary presented by Prof Magnus Wahlberg on hearing in marine species. In addition, there will be a workshop taught by Prof Wahlberg and Prof Jakob Christensen-Dalsgaard that covers the mechanism of hearing in vertebrates. The workshop will focus on teaching effective techniques to collect acoustic data in the laboratory and in the field, both in terrestrial and marine environments. Register and submit your abstract today to present a talk, or poster at the second ABC Conference in November 2020! NOTE: Abstract submission deadline 15 June 2020. This year our focus is on even greater representation! We are seeking plenary speakers for the conference who are preferably living and working in Africa. Get in touch with us if you want to be considered for a plenary talk.
