À la croisée de plusieurs disciplines, notamment la biologie, la physique et l'informatique, la bioacoustique est un domaine scientifique encore peu connu, mais en pleine expansion. Cette science étudie les sons produits par le vivant, leur structure, leur fonction et leur évolution. Les bioacousticiens, qui installent des capteurs un peu partout à la surface de notre planète, cherchent à comprendre le rôle que jouent ces signaux sonores dans la vie, la communication et la survie des espèces animales, des plus minuscules insectes aux grands cétacés.
