Do birds tune their songs to their hearing? Is there tight coevolution between avian vocal signals and hearing-or do signallers and perceivers evolve more loosely? It turns out perfect tuning is not required... Preprint: www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1... #bioacoustics #prattle 💬 #ornithology 🪶

Acoustic monitoring is everywhere this days. But how far can we really detect a bird acoustic within a tropical forest? 🧐🎙️ To answer this questions we built sound attenuation models for two Neotropical birds and estimated they detection ranges. #bioacoustics #ornithology

Super cool work! The method used here is very exciting and suggests that some form of compositionality could potentially be widespread outside of language! How similar (in form and origins) this type of compositionality is to what we find in language remains I think an open question.

📢 We are very pleased to announce the upcoming symposium on evolution in small populations at @eseb2025.bsky.social, with Eva Ringler and @hernmoral.bsky.social as invited speakers, and co-organized with @naturalselection.bsky.social and Maëva Gabrielli. Submit your abstracts before 25/04!
