🔊 Cornell lab of #ornithology is looking for a full professor in animal comm & behaviour, and I think y'all are amazing and overqualified, sooo: academicjobsonline.org/ajo/jobs/302...

Important perspectives on sci comm from DeGruyter: The platform dilemma: Where next for academic social media? blog.degruyter.com/wp-content/u... Thank you Samantha for sharing this and the amazing communication via my absolutely favourite and consistently great @oceanoculus.com

🔊 This the season! Looking or two MSc students to tackle 1. vocal efficiency across pipit species and, surpsingly, 2. vocal tract anatomy of the great cormorant (bonus: I also have the heads to model hearing!) Drop me a line! I love people! :) docs.google.com/document/d/1...

Neighbouring males sing differently! Flycatchers: Jablonszky et al: onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/... Yellowhammers: myself et al: www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

Scientists, only 2 weeks left to share your work, why it matters & win up to $500! It's as easy as making a slideshow with our template. This #MySciJourney challenge sponsored by @ncse.bsky.social #scicomm 🧪🔊🐸 👉https://galacticpolymath.com/blog/my-scijourney-scicomm-competition-2025

Thank you to everyone at #ibac2025 for this amazing conference. I met so many great people and learned a lot about so many interesting projects. Excited to see you all again some time! And proud that my poster got the student poster price ☺️ stay tuned for the publication!

🐸〽️ribbit response 〽️🐸 @lukelarter.bsky.social et al. use dynamic playbacks to study how túngara frog males use acoustic cues from complex choruses to time their calls 🐸 single call stim -> little overlap in response 🐸 overlapping + synchronous call stim >>> overlap #prattle #bioacoustics 💬

And important perspectives on PAM challenges in countries with less funds & more species! Awesome talk.

In bioacoustics, our methods matter. Using different machine learning techniques for caller ID can lead to conflicting results, making it hard to compare studies. A new preprint asks: which analysis pipeline is the most reliable? 📈 Find more at: www.behavioural-ecology-group.com/same-data-di...

Yay bioacousticians all around! <3 Come see me at the #IBAC session tomorrow - or anytime for coffee/bikes!

🔊Sth I've been playing around for nearly 2 years and dropped now, too lazy to write a preprint for null results: temporal/rhythmic structure of little auks' classic call doesn't seem to carry neither sex nor partnership info (pDFA, XGboost, S-UMAP vis + densities). ID coding updated.

This book is an introductory text on the theory of nonlinear acoustics authored by experts on their respective topics. And it is open access, which means that you have free and unlimited access! link.springer.com/book/10.1007...

I'm excited to share our new (in press) paper on vocal individuality and acoustic recognition. We looked at Red-tailed Black-Cockatoos, Little Penguins, Little Owls, Tree Pipits and Chiffchaffs, with promising results. #bioacoustics #vocalindividuality www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

Enlightening meeting by the BDS movement today. Reminder that companies and universities are responsible for human rights abuses under the same laws as states - and have to be accountable. To what extent are academics and students complicit, when we do business as usual? bdsmovement.net

Cool work on duet coordination in the little crakes. If that looks interesting, can I interest you in the (messy, tremendous) sound library of little AUK duets? @kasiawojczulanis.bsky.social sits on a goldmine of auk sounds :) royalsocietypublishing.org/doi/10.1098/...

I mean, if you "review" a paper using AI (which btw is pretty illegal I'm sure) then it really isn't just the author of the prompt who's to blame, no? www.japantimes.co.jp/news/2025/07...

Does anyone know of an immigration lawyer in Pennsylvania who may be willing to do some pro bono work for a student who is being detained by DHS? This student was finalizing their green card application and was taken a week ago. Please hit me up.
