Abstract

In this work, the results of a detailed sound monitoring conducted during December 2023 in the mountain rainforest
of Yungas (750 meters above sea level), in the vicinity of Piedras stream within the protected area of Sierra San Javier
Park, are presented. The spectrograms obtained from the inner forest differ consistently from those of the riparian
forest, distinguishable by their bioacoustic characteristics. It is conjectured that the stream, through its geophonic load
and ecological imprint on the landscape, imposes restrictions on the occupation of the ecoacoustic niche by the fauna
ensemble present in the area.
