ALT1: ... that the
Montana State University Library's Acoustic Atlas aims to archive the
dialects of birds from the
Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem? Source: "The MSU site hosts a variety of sounds made by wildlife...'Even birds will sing in dialects. So if you have a recording of a white-crowned sparrow, that species can have a different sound signature only a mile away. So even if you make one recording of a white-crowned sparrow, you’re not going to have all of the sounds it makes.'"
State Journal-Register, 2013
ALT2: ... that the Acoustic Atlas includes sounds made by ants being held between a volunteer's teeth? Source: "It also contains interviews, such as the odd one with Howard Spangler explaining how he has learned to record ant sounds by holding the insects gently between his teeth."
Researchers recording the sounds of Yellowstone
Thank you! I'm not sure though whether Acoustic Atlas includes the actual ant sounds that the person recorded, since the newspaper article just describes the interview with the person about it.

This appears to be the actual online record in the Acoustic Atlas, which includes both the ant sounds as well as the collector's voice-over describing the process. Will add this link to the article.

What a fun read, and what a great idea. For the purposes of DYK, this is long enough, new enough (moved to mainspace on 29 July), well referenced, and free from copyvio. All of the hooks are interesting and cited; I personally prefer ALT2 and ALT0.
Dreamyshade, it appears that you have more than 5 previous DYK credits which means you need to provide a QPQ review (i.e. review another nomination) for this nomination to proceed.
