Music theory
Ecomusicology is often closely paired with the study of Ecology, assisting in the analysis of the behavioural patterns of animals and ecosystems through the investigation of sound data. Ecological studies of Bird and the characteristics of their song, have revealed ways in which sounds and spaces in their natural environment have shaped certain behaviours. Here, Ecomusicology applies concepts related to sound and Music theory with research regarding animal behaviours to reveal information about how sound is manipulated by animals in relation to their environment.
