Csenge Reisinger, who is doing her master’s thesis with us, participated in the student competition at the Vet Uni of Budapest last week and she absolutely shined! 🥉 3rd place in the Basic Science section 🏅 Award of the Department of Zoology & the Hungarian Natural History Museum Congratulations🎉👏🌟

We are spending a fantastic weekend in Szeged at the MET (the Hungarian National Ethology Conference). We brought many exciting topics with us! Check out our posters! #vocalizations #ethology #behaviour

Cheers to the friends that science has given me! I came to Padua to give a small seminar, and my time here has been amazing 💜 I have learned so much ✨ #animalcognition #ethology #animalbehaviour

Our "Talking dogs" review has been featured in @newsweek.com :) Thank you for the opportunity to share our work with the world . www.newsweek.com/dogs-etholog...

📢Meet us!! Paula @paulapefraga.bsky.social is a postdoctoral researcher on the behaviour team. She is interested in animal–human communication and emotions. Her research explores how physiology, vocalizations, and behaviour connect. You can easily find her hiking in the mountains with her dogs.

Do you want to help us with our new study?🐕🎤 A new dog vocalization questionnaire is available! How well can you differentiate dogs based on their growls? Find out by filling out our new questionnaire! Click on this link: barks-lab.elte.hu/queries/grow...

📢Meet us!! We’re kicking off our intro series with our PI, Tamás Faragó, PhD, @tamsa42.bsky.social who founded BARKS Lab.🎉 Fascinated by canine vocal communication, during his career Tamás studied growls, barks, whines... Now, he is exploring vocal learning in dogs, the core of our research!

A recent scientific review examines the biological, cognitive, and ethical factors influencing whether dogs could ever develop speech, highlighting the complexity of canine-human communication. doi.org/g955mh

My amazing team members💞

💞💞 Dogs are Amazing 💞💞 Congrats to my dear friend @asommese.bsky.social and the Gifted Dog's team for this achievement.

Simón wishes you a great Sunday 💜

We need to collectively stop legitimizing predatory journals like the MDPI and "Frontiers" journals: don't give them your labor and don't send manuscripts to them (and certainly don't pay them!). I also have been trying my best to remove them from class syllabi as well. 4/4

Our P.I., and dog vocalization expert @tamsa42.bsky.social gave this nice interview during #CSF2025 Check it out if you are curious about our work on dog vocal communication and vocal learning :) www.linkedin.com/posts/dogs-a...

This might be my last dog–pig comparative study (or who knows?). royalsocietypublishing.org/doi/10.1098/...

So happy to see this article finally published! I wish you have as much fun reading it as we did writing it! Congrats to my amazing co-authors 💞❤️

We are happy to introduce ourselves to the research community. Who are we? What do we do? 📍 BARKS Lab is a research group at the Department of Ethology, ELTE University. 🐕 We’re exploring vocal learning in dogs, backed by an ERC Consolidator Grant #ethology #animalbehaviour #caninescience #vocal

This is a short, popular science article I wrote about one of our latest projects www.elte.hu/content/do-w...

So happy to see this finally published! We tested the sensitivity to human ostension in three pig populations with varying levels of human exposure. The best part of this project was meeting people who are now friends for life. Congratulations, Kimberly! www.nature.com/articles/s41....
