Some fascinating and surprising insights into (not-only-)seal-eating killer whales in Norway 🦭🐟 by the talented @efvogel

For the Norwegian speakers: our research on humpback whale song evolution in Norway made it to the local news @NRKno
nrk.no/nordland/knolhval_-hv…
📢Our paper is out in @FrontMarineSci
In this study, we report the rapid progression in #humpback whale song structure and complexity found on a subarctic feeding ground and migratory stopover in Northern Norway using #PAM.

ALT Figure 3 Spectrographic representation of all observed themes and phrase types from the recording period January 2018 - January 2019. The spectrograms were produced using fast Fourier transform (FFT) size 8092 Hann-window with frequency resolutions of 5.69 Hz (for 2018 files) and 11.4 Hz (for 2019 files), and a 70% overlap. Corresponding audio files are provided in Supplementary Audios 1-11. Note that themes are not ordered according to how they occurred in songs but rather follow the evolutionary changes.
ALT Figure 6 Song complexity over the study period January 2018 - January 2019. Each song session represents the average of three song cycles measured. The split in lines indicates lack of data (July-November).

Birds give up the complexity of song for volume in noisy places - so they sing louder but less interesting (to both humans & mates) songs in cities. When traffic noise in San Francisco fell due to COVID, birds began to sing more complex, quieter songs like they did 50 years ago!
Congrats to @KillerWhaleKate on her master’s #thesis defence today 👏🏼
Excited to read more about #cetacean presence using #pam and automatic detection soon 📄

Bullying in academia is toxic and needs to be called out.
I use twitter to talk science, fossils, and scream about bones.
So why am I terrified to share this? This too is an unfortunate part of science...
Two years ago @Koskinonodon and I reported our advisor, Robert Reisz, for bullying and harassment.

Excited about the upcoming student symposium that I am co-organising together with @_jschulze @efvogel @mana_hera & more

Responding to the associate editor after they suddenly rejected our already accepted manuscript @KarinHartman14
Received an unpleasant email this morning, announcing that our manuscript got rejected AFTER being accepted just a month ago (pend.min.revi.). After 2 rounds of major revisions (!), the associate editor "can see now" that there are some shortcomings? Excuse me?
#AcademicChatter
Not the kind of observations we would like to make out at sea. Why are some #whalewatching companies so ignorant, acting in such irresponsible manner? I am gutted. Regulations are needed in #Norway, specifically in the #Skjervøy region!
Got invited as a "whale expert" to train whale watching guides here in Tromsø and I am not sure I was taking any breaths during my 4h talk about the arctic ecosystem and whales.
Excited to be a part of improving how whale watching is conducted up here 🐋⛴️
Working as a northern lights guide is not the worst in-between-job there is but I am still missing the whales

Was sent this by a colleague in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia. @hyperpanda what exactly are you thinking selling #sharkmeat on a mass-market scale? Pelagic shark populations have declined by >71%, and you are directly contributing to this. Do better.
