📢✨Excited to share our latest #AvianResearch paper! Over 33 years, Thrush Nightingales in Finland showed a complete turnover of song types, yet over 40% of their syllable elements persisted—revealing a fascinating facet of cultural evolution in birdsong 🔄🕰️

So @ConversationUK asked if I had any thoughts about talking to whales. Turns out I do... Thoughts invited, please share @_SMRU_ @philipwhale @9brandon theconversation.com/are-we-r…

Are we really about to talk to whales?

It’s certainly an exciting time to study communication in whales and dolphins.

House finch song displays structural features that are typically found in human language! This suggests that it has evolved to minimize learning and production costs while maximizing communicative function. Out today in Proceedings B (@royalsociety) 🐦🧵 royalsocietypublishing.org/d…

Language-like efficiency and structure in house finch song

Abstract. Communication needs to be complex enough to be functional while minimizing learning and production costs. Recent work suggests that the vocalizat

I'm really looking forward to leading this workshop with @TessaRhinehart at the @GRC_NMAC_2024 It will be great to help grad students + post-docs better analyze their acoustic communication data and learn the basics of bioacoustics (RTs appreciated)

Preprint out! tinyurl.com/4j95ffsc We show age-specificity in territory attributes but weak overall age structure in space, likely due to high mortality and territory turnover. We suggest structure in habitat features contribute more to spatially-variable demography than age🌳

Are you using neural network models to segment and/or annotate animal sounds? You'll want to check out our #SfN23 poster HH22 comparing models that I present 1-5 today. Sneak preview here: github.com/vocalpy/Nicholson… (I'll thread later)

Announcing fully-funded PhD positions on our new "Bioacoustic AI" project: bioacousticai.eu Apply now for a #PhD studying animal sounds (#bioacoustics), #deeplearning, #acoustic signals, and #ecology! 2 open to apply now, 8 more coming soon. (Pls share)

Understanding animal sounds with machine learning - Bioacoustic AI

Animals make sounds that convey so much information. How can we use this to help monitor and protect wildlife? In our research programme we want to make sense of animal sounds using AI.

Such an exquisite combination of arrogance & cluelessness; would be almost amusing if it weren't so harmful. Why settle for a peaceful retirement when you can use your platform and abundant bile to try to make others' lives more difficult, right? – at Oxford, England

Keir Starmer agrees that a woman is an adult human female. Will Ed Davey also rejoin the real world, science & the English language by reversing his view that a woman can “quite clearly” have a penis? Inability to face reality in small things bodes ill for more serious matters.
