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...

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

We're #hiring a Statistical Wildlife Ecologist! This position analyzes large, complex datasets to support landscape management throughout Canada. Learn more and apply through the University of Alberta by May 27, 2025: wildlifescience.ca/hiring-stati... #biodiversity #mammals #wildlife

New paper! We developed HawkEars, a CNN training framework and classifier for a regional community of acoustic animals - 328 bird species and 13 amphibian species in Canada. www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti... #bioacoustics 1/n

New paper from my PDF with the folks at the Smithsonian Migratory Bird Centre and a whole host of awesome collaborators! We used migratory connectivity from a big tracking dataset to define groups of curlews for full annual cycle management

I'm super excited to step into this new role! For 20 years, BAM has made enormous contributions to boreal bird conservation; I am deeply honoured to steward and continue those contributions as part of the Biodiversity Pathways family. We've got lots of exciting collaborative work on the horizons!

AI is moving faster than the publication process. If a paper is rejected, it’s virtually obsolete because scientists are onto the next model generation. This @naturemethods.bsky.social was fun to report! Thx to @sarameghanbeery.bsky.social @ellycknight.bsky.social @conservationxlabs.bsky.social!

If you're wondering how your priorities stack up with the parties' plans, CBC has a quick tool that will help you figure that out! And ICYMI, yes 🇨🇦 citizens can vote even if we don't live in Canada. Here's how: travel.gc.ca/travelling/l...

Proud of what @wilsonornithsoc.bsky.social is doing to support ornithologists affected by the Trump administration's attack on science. Those suffering hardship related to the EOs, layoffs, etc. can get free membership and registration to the upcoming meeting here: tinyurl.com/vf34sh93

Like birds and models? Dr. Erin Bayne and I are currently recruiting a 2 year postdoc to come work with us at the Boreal Avian Modelling project on boreal bird models and applications of those models. Full details are here tinyurl.com/4yxju63k. Feel free to get in touch with qs!

cool. XC will open up for strongly labelled recordings like these somewhere in 2025. #bioacoustics

Excited to share our #NeurIPS2024 paper on deep learning models and benchmark datasets for localizing + attributing vocalizations in social interactions! Please come visit the poster on Friday 11am-1pm PST in West Ballroom A-D #5406. Paper link: www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

@ibisjournal.bsky.social would you mind adding me to your Ornithology starter pack? (go.bsky.app/CB8biDW) Thanks!

@ryankbrook.bsky.social would you mind adding me to the starter pack for Canadian wildlife folks? (go.bsky.app/6z3FevF). Thanks!!!

Hi Bsky 👋 Figured it was time to make a first post ⏰ I'm Elly! I mostly do bird numbers and acoustics. Sometimes migration. I like to think about detection probability. I secretly love nightjars (ok it's not really a secret). You can read a bit more about my work at ellyknight.ca
