🔬 We’re looking for a master's student for a thesis on "Nocturnal Vocalisations of Wild Chimpanzees (Pan troglodytes schweinfurthii)", starting around August 2026 in Neuchâtel. More information: evolvinglanguage.ch/wp-content/u... Supervision and contact: @noemiefreymond.bsky.social

Young magpies learn to combine calls into "sentences" much like human toddlers: through listening to family and friends! Now available to read at @royalsocietypublishing.org @mandyridley.bsky.social @stephanielking.bsky.social @ceb-uwa.bsky.social royalsocietypublishing.org/rspb/article...

Scientists studying wild sooty mangabeys in Ivory Coast have discovered that these West African #monkeys use sophisticated rules when combining their calls into sequences. Read the full #RSOS paper: royalsocietypublishing.org/rsos/article... @aurianelf.bsky.social @tozbu.bsky.social

Fully funded PhD position on primate parochialism! Study how cooperation within groups and conflict between groups evolve in red-fronted lemurs at our long-term field site in Kirindy Forest, Madagascar. @kirindy.bsky.social & @primatenzentrum.bsky.social. Apply here: www.dpz.eu

Today we're releasing AI for RStudio. It's really, really good—I'd encourage you to point it at the messiest data sources you have and see what it can do. www.simonpcouch.com/blog/2026-03...

“flexible control of voice pitch can evolve independently of complex vocal learning in the context of simultaneous group vocalization” (“simultaneous pitch regulation as a precursor of complex vocal learning, not its byproduct”?) cool @currentbiology.bsky.social study led by A. Patel 🧪🎶

🐒 My first PhD chapter is out! We describe the vocal sequence repertoire of wild sooty mangabeys and show that they use combinatorial rules. Follow-up paper coming soon 👀 @taichimpproject.bsky.social @cogcompneuch.bsky.social @tozbu.bsky.social 🔗 royalsocietypublishing.org/rsos/article...

🚨New animal linguistics paper🚨 Together with @geoffreymesbahi.bsky.social and @maelmleroux.bsky.social, we tried to finally answer this question: Do titi monkeys have complex syntactic skills? onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/...

New paper out👂📢🐒! We highlight the remarkable expertise of local field assistants at BCFS (Uganda) in interpreting chimpanzee pant-hoot calls—identifying who is calling, their age, sex, and context—revealing scientific knowledge built through years of experience. doi.org/10.1098/rspb...

My latest article is finally published: www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti... we examine how Australasian swamphen (Pukeko) combine different sounds into all the different calls. We also examine call sequences and find that calls become longer along some calling sequences

Our group at the University of Magdeburg 🇩🇪 is looking for a motivated PhD candidate to study cognitive fleixbility and uncertainty in mice within the DZPG/C-I-R-C (c-i-r-c.de). 🧠🐭 For more information, please see: www.med.ovgu.de/Karriere/Ste... #PhDPosition #BehavioralNeuroscience

Our new chapter is out! 📢 Co-first-authored with @mawadafreville.bsky.social with attentive supervision of @chacanteloup.bsky.social🤗 How has intentionality been theorised in developmental psychology and primatology, and how is it studied in animal signals?🐒🦜👶 Take a look 👇 doi.org/10.1016/B978...
