Sodar, or in full sonic detection and ranging, is a meteorological instrument used as a wind profiler to measure the scattering of sound waves by atmospheric turbulence. (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sodar)
Speed at which a wave travels past a fixed point. (Salt Lake Community College. 2017. An Introduction to Geology. Glossary: wave velocity https://opengeology.org/textbook/glossary/wave-velocity/)
DNA barcoding is a taxonomic method that uses a short genetic marker from a standard part of the genome of an organism’s DNA to identify it as belonging to a particular individual, breed/cultivar, or species. (Barcaccia, G., Lucchin, M., & Cassandro, M. (2016). DNA Barcoding as a Molecular Tool to Track Down Mislabeling and Food Piracy. Diversity, 8(1), 2. https://doi.org/10.3390/d8010002)
Note
Techniques for standardizing and expediting taxonomic identification or classification of organisms that are based on deciphering the sequence of one or a few regions of DNA known as the 'DNA barcode'. DNA barcoding focuses on identifying a single organism or species, while metabarcoding focuses on identifying multiple species from a mixed sample.
An organized body of material or intangible objects that are systematically selected, acquired, preserved, and managed because of their importance as examples, reference material, or objects with educational, aesthetic, or cultural value. Preserved in a safe setting and usually displayed to a smaller or larger museum audience. (Adapted from ICOM. 2010. Key Concepts

Indehiscent (closed) fruit, few- to many-seeded, and derived from a single, simple or compound ovary; fleshy throughout except for the seeds. (Adapted from "Categorical Glossary for the Flora of North America Project)
A trace fossil, also ichnofossil, is a fossil record of biological activity but not the preserved remains of the plant or animal itself. (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trace_fossil)
The directional spectrum S(k) [or S(f,θ)] measures the distribution of wave energy in wave number, k, (or frequency, f) and direction. (https://tos.org/oceanography/article/the-ocean-wave-directional-spectrum)
A monophyletic taxon; a group of organisms which includes the most recent common ancestor of all of its members and all of the descendants of that most recent common ancestor. (https://ucmp.berkeley.edu/glossary/glossary_1.html)
Conflict sensitivity refers to the ability of an organization to understand the context in which it is operating, particularly intergroup relations; understand the interactions between its interventions and the context/group relations; and act upon the understanding of these interactions, in order to avoid negative impacts and maximize positive impacts.
