What is it a baby cry for? Is the baby hungry? In pain? Lonely? Or simply uncomfortable? This article challenges many of our most cherished beliefs and offer a new, evidence-based framework for understanding this fundamental form of human communication. theconversation.com/what-babies-...

Our week of field-based learning has finished with a beautiful sunset, a campfire lecture, and a starry night. And a shockingly hard acoustic quiz. Can you differentiate a screaming deer, a creaking door, and a shrieking Nazgul? Next week: bird & reptile week on campus. @nicolasmathevon.bsky.social

Day 4 at La Maison de L'Eau for the International Master's of Bioacoustics program. An interesting tinkerbird lecture by Alex Kirschel. Studies of sound recording and filtering with Jérémy Rouch. And the beginning of semester-long independent projects. @nicolasmathevon.bsky.social

30 meters... 60 meters... 120 meters... Students recording white noise, bird songs, and sheep bleats at increasing distances from a loudspeaker on Day 3 of the International Master's of Bioacoustics course. @nicolasmathevon.bsky.social

Day 3 of the International Master's of Bioacoustics program. Today we conducted a sound transmission experiment in the fields and forests around La Maison de l'Eau in Le Pilat. And we dove deeply into the measurement and representation of sound. @nicolasmathevon.bsky.social

Day 2 of the International Master's of Bioacoustics program. We set up Motus Audio recorders to survey migrants and I delivered a lecture on bioacoustic monitoring of migration, among other great sessions. It was a great day of indoor and outdoor learning. @nicolasmathevon.bsky.social l

Day 1 of the International Master's of Bioacoustics program. Opening lectures, field-based recording, and a hike in Le Pilat... A great start to the fifth class of the MoBi program. www.masterofbioacoustics.com @nicolasmathevon.bsky.social

🐀 ultrasonic vocalizations be wildin' 🐀 @nicolasmathevon.bsky.social etc al. use @openacousticdevices.info to study how striped mice use USVs in the wild, new in @currentbiology.bsky.social See graphical abstract for summary of results (does the work for us 😇) 👇 #bioacoustics #prattle 💬

Great paper that uses @openacousticdevices.info AudioMoth and neural network models to record and analyse the ultrasonic calls of wild mice.

Ultrasonic signals support a large-scale communication landscape in wild mice. 👇 New paper by the ENES Bioacoustics Research Team in @currentbiology.bsky.social authors.elsevier.com/a/1llMH3QW8S...

Join us at @neuripsconf.bsky.social 2025 🔉 There is still time to apply to be a part of the AI for Non-Human Animal Communication workshop! Submit your proposals on the intersection of AI & bioacoustics by Aug. 31 and learn more at aiforanimalcomms.org

For over 5,000 y, chanting has been practiced across many Western and Eastern traditions. Chants share distinctive acoustic traits which have evolved culturally to optimize listener relaxation. 👇 new paper @pnas.org by ENES Bioacoustics Research Lab & Co #bioacoustics www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/...

Ready to join our lab as Assistant Professor in #bioacoustics 🐬🔉🚤🚢? #jobalert

Learn how to communicate with your baby: the first book entirely dedicated to babies' cries. With a companion website providing audio examples and interactive quizzes to help you practice decoding baby cries. #parenting #parents #baby #babies #cry #mother #father www.amazon.fr/intimate-wor...

NeurIPS workshop (6 dec 2025, San Diego): "AI for non-human animal communication": aiforanimalcomms.org It will explore the intersection of artificial intelligence and bioacoustics, aiming to address challenges in processing complex #bioacoustics data and interpreting animal signals.

Our Google Scholar alerts tell us that this book cites, like, everyone we read And authors include accounts we try to boost like @nicolasmathevon.bsky.social And now we find out from @angelastoeger.bsky.social that it's open access! Go read it #prattle 💬 #bioacoustics

10 years already... Happy birthday to this article on elephant seals, which combined acoustic analysis and playback experiments in the field! #bioacoustics royalsocietypublishing.org/doi/full/10....

1/n Hot off the press! The first empirical chapter of my PhD and the fruit of a hugely collaborative project led with Franziska Wegdell and Johanna Schick is out! We explore if immature-directed vocalisations are present and in what quantity in wild great apes. www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

What do house mice squeak about in the wild? Better known to nerds as the lab mouse, the most widely used and maybe least understood model organism Turns out: pups. Seasonally? Read the deets in the 🧵 from @nickjourjine.bsky.social 👇 You wanted natural #neuroskyence ? #prattle 💬 #bioacoustics

A little behind-the-scenes story from our wild mouse study below tldr: We DIY'd a cheap ultrasonic speaker for an experiment. A rude polecat ruined the experiment. We hope the speaker might still be useful for others! Parts and protocol here: bit.ly/3TDl8ND #bioacoustics #neuroskyence 1/11

📢 New paper! F0 estimation is a classic task in the Music Information Retrieval (#MIR) community. Yet, it's much less studied in bioacoustics—despite its frequent use to describe animal sounds. Images from doi.org/10.1038/srep... doi.org/10.1098/rspb... doi.org/10.3389/fmar...
