📄 Abstract
This article examines the ecological aspects of acoustic communication of mammals in the southern Aral Sea region under arid climate conditions and anthropogenic ecosystem transformation. The focus is on the bioacoustic characteristics of the Bukhara deer (Cervus elaphus bactrianus) and the golden jackal (Canis aureus). It has been established that acoustic signals play an important role in maintaining intraspecific contacts, territorial behavior, and reproductive communication. The Bukhara deer's peak vocal activity is observed during the rutting season, while the jackal's primary forms of acoustic communication are howling, barking, and contact calls. It has been shown that the nature of vocalizations depends on environmental conditions and the behavioral characteristics of the species. The obtained results confirm the potential of bioacoustic monitoring for studying the spatial activity, population status, and conservation of mammals in the Southern Aral Sea region.
