The project will estimate for the first time the abundance of O. vicentei and its correlation with environmental variables such as: temperature, humidity, rainfall and forest structure during two seasons. We will use dynamic acoustic surveys along with in situ measurements of environmental covariates through sensor deployment This will provide vital information about the importance of the environment where this species lives.
