Hey #bioacoustics world! There is a new bacpipe version out! New models, gpu acceleration and much more! github.com/bioacoustic-... This one is packaged, so you can pip install bacpipe! 🎊🥹 And thanks a lot to @inesnolas.bsky.social for presenting our poster on using pretrained models at #ibac2025!

🦇 'Bats' are more than one species. They are an incredibly diverse group of mammals with over 1,400 species. There is a huge diversity of sizes, colours, nose shapes, ear shapes, diet, habitat and more! In the UK, there are 18 resident species. Learn more here: www.bats.org.uk/about-bats/w...

With @etiennetho.bsky.social we are co-organizing a special session on human auditory ecology "Listening With: Minds, Milieux, Machines and Musics" at CMMR in London cmmr2025.prism.cnrs.fr/regular-pape... Extended abstracts (2 p.) due Jun. 29th Full papers (4–12 p.) due Sep. 12th Please share!

Embed ALL the sounds New tool from @vskode.bsky.social to compare methods that classify & cluster animal sounds w/ embeddings: vectors extracted from neural network models Nice example w/ AnuranSet from @juancanyas.bsky.social in post 👇 Code: github.com/bioacoustic-... #prattle 💬 ##bioacoustics

It matters not what people are born, but what they grow to be. Trans women will always be women. Trans men will always be men. In light of the bigoted ruling from the UK’s Supreme Court yesterday, we want to assure every trans person the fight will not stop. Because trans rights are human rights.

🦇👂🧠Our first bat paper is out! 🧠👂🦇 How do bats tell navigation from social calls? Led by the fearless Dr. Jenni Lawlor, we used 2P imaging to show that the auditory midbrain encodes categorical primitives. Check it out @natneuro.nature.com: rdcu.be/ehEgz

Would you present your next NeurIPS paper in Europe instead of traveling to San Diego (US) if this was an option? Søren Hauberg (DTU) and I would love to hear the answer through this poll: (1/6)

... check this out. Heavily xeno-cantofied. Pity the last sets of Orthoptera on XC were not included, but hey: arxiv.org/abs/2503.15074 "InsectSet459: an open dataset of insect sounds for bioacoustic machine learning." 32000+ recordings of about 1000 #orthoptera species on XC now. #bioacoustics

... go BirdCLEF!

¿Te interesa la bioacústica, la inteligencia artificial y la conservación? Únete a la sesión de la Comunidad Latinoamericana en 27/3 9:30 (UTC -5) para conocer BirdCLEF+ 2025, la competencia a mejorar la identificación de especies a partir de grabaciones acústicas. wildlabs.net/event/birdcl...

#BirdCLEF+ 2025 is now open! 🐦💡 ESP is proud to support this year's competition by overseeing a FootPrint Coalition Science Engine grant that funded a key dataset focused on under-studied species from Colombia’s Middle Magdalena Valley. 🔗 Learn more & participate: www.imageclef.org/BirdCLEF2025

Check out the #BirdCLEF+ Competition 2025! This year it comes with a multi taxonomic dataset 🐦🐸🐒🦗 from the middle Valley of Magdalena river in Colombia 🇨🇴 🤖🔊 www.kaggle.com/competitions...

... spread the word! BirdCLEF is back. Alive and kicking since 2014. www.kaggle.com/competitions...

Check out the last bioacoustics competition for BirdCLEF+! This year we have exciting challenges as unlabelled in domain data and a multi-taxonomic dataset from Colombia with amphibians, birds, insects, and mammals sounds for automatic species identification. More info www.kaggle.com/competitions...

People in London, see you there (:

Do Large Language Models (LLMs) possess ecological knowledge? For example, can they do tasks such as: (1) predict the presence of species at a location (2) generate range maps (3) list critically endangered species (4) perform threat assessment (5) estimate species traits

Bats' vocalizations can reveal their personalities Bold, exploratory, and proactive individuals were more likely to produce social calls – and more agitated bats called even more! royalsocietypublishing.org/doi/10.1098/... Photo by Michael Stifter

Really cool to see our AI for bioacoustics work in the MIT Technology Review! BirdVox was a fantastic project that beyond posing a fascinating research problem, introduced me to the world of bird watching and deepened my appreciation of the natural world www.technologyreview.com/2024/12/18/1...
