Thesis: S.M. in Comparative Media Studies, Writing, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Department of Humanities, 2014. Cataloged from PDF version of thesis. Includes bibliographical references (page 22 ). People have taken delight in nature throughout human history, but more recently the work of the natural historian has become more like that of the scientist. Using methods and tools of science, today's naturalists can record nature with precision-and through this, learn more about it. Ecologists now pay heed to the often-forgotten sense of hearing. The Tropical Ecology Lab at University of Puerto Rico, San Piedras, blurs the lines between natural history and science. An array of remote microphones collects sounds from the forests and wetlands, and researchers use computers to analyze the soundscapes themselves. by Abigail Stokes Nighthill.
