Happy to share that our paper on the #evolution and #genomics of the most common #color polymorphism in #frogs is now out in @pnas.org! My favorite frogs even made the cover of this week’s issue! 🎉🐸🎉 Read the paper here: www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/...

How do light and noise pollution impact selection on sexual signals? We tested mate attraction and bat predation on túngara frogs in the field. Full text: doi.org/10.1093/jeb/... #evolutionarybiology #animalbehavior @eseb.bsky.social @jevbio.bsky.social Photo: Grant Maslowski

"Pat, why do you carry that ridiculous 600mm lens on long hikes?" Buddy, I can see mountains reflected in the eyes of a trailside pika.

These are the most challenging times for early-career scientists and engineers. My team is doing its bit to help by maintaining and even expanding our database of funding opportunities for early-career researchers. We found 437 of them. Download it freely here: research.jhu.edu/rdt/funding-...

Acoustic monitoring is everywhere this days. But how far can we really detect a bird acoustic within a tropical forest? 🧐🎙️ To answer this questions we built sound attenuation models for two Neotropical birds and estimated they detection ranges. #bioacoustics #ornithology

Do birds tune their songs to their hearing? Is there tight coevolution between avian vocal signals and hearing-or do signallers and perceivers evolve more loosely? It turns out perfect tuning is not required... Preprint: www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1... #bioacoustics #prattle 💬 #ornithology 🪶

New paper out with @judithsmit.bsky.social @jellers.bsky.social and Wouter Halfwerk on tadpole developmental and behavioral responses to urban environments! 🐸🏙️ Read here: doi.org/10.1111/1365... @animalecology.bsky.social Video: youtu.be/AhGPG5VOag8

New paper! 🐸🎶 Rocket frogs males respond to rivals depending on their own spectral call attributes, but also pay attention to the temporal properties of the challenger Check it out in Animal Behaviour: www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti... #bioacoustics #prattle

I've wanted to write this article for years. About my and other's struggles to even survive sometime in #academia. Thank you to the amazing editors at @plosbiology.org that gave me the forum to write this piece. #science

Kissing bugs (Mepraia spinolai) are a wild vector of Chagas disease (some believe Darwin got infected during his stay in Chile) and communicate through vibrations Hear the vibratory distress signals recorded through laser vibrometry Read the article here: www.tandfonline.com/doi/abs/10.1...

Reminder that @galacticpolymath.com is developing an #openaccess web app to make it easy and free for anyone to visualize & measure basic stats from sounds. Focused on teaching bioacoustics in middle school to college classes—not comparable to Raven. 🔉🧪 #EduSky youtu.be/nh_pFSD7h08?...
