Did you know that many species of animals, even fish, have to express themselves louder and in a simplified way to make themselves understood in an increasingly noisy environment? (It's called the Lombard effect)
And that plants can also hear sounds? (And despite that they most likely have not the slightest interest in human-made music, not even if it is Mozart)
And that for certain species, many birds for example, singing is not only a way to communicate but also a cultural fact passed down from generation to generation and, most likely, even an art form?
And that the most sought-after habitats are those in which each sound finds its own niche without one dominating the others? (This is called the acoustic niche hypothesis)
Do you want to hear how a German forest will sound if the global temperature rises more than 1.5 degrees?
So come to Strandbad Tegelsee today (24th July 2022), from 1 to 5 p.m. I will be doing some experiments around ecoacoustics, the sound of Earth and global warming. Suitable for all ages!
