Who's your indicator species actually indicating for? That's what we set out to answer in our new paper using over 800k hours of #acoustic data! 🧪🦤🔊🌐🌎 Spoiler: Indicator species can be effective #biodiversity surrogates, but spatial scale matters! Check it out here: doi.org/10.1111/cobi...

One week to the Indiana Dunes Birding Festival…and registration is FREEEEEE, my dudes! Hit up @indianaaudubon.bsky.social and bird your hearts out!

Re-sharing this for #bioacoustics, #ecology, and #wildlife homies on the appropriate threads! DM me if you're stuck behind the paywall and I'll send you a copy! 🦤🌎🌐🔉

This is so evil that it defies understanding. A transplant surgeon on an H1B visa was deported, despite a court injunction. She had committed no crimes. This must stop. We must stand together to protect immigrants and visitors against state terrorism. www.providencejournal.com/story/news/l...

Bird #bioacoustics folks: @kitzeslab.bsky.social is hosting a hands-on "Advanced topics in bioacoustic monitoring" workshop at AOS 2025! We'll make custom sound ID models, estimate birds' positions using acoustic localization, and discuss how to use sound ID results to make ecological insights.

New paper! We demonstrate a simple model comparison method to supplement biological knowledge when choosing the length of the closure period in occupancy models! A fun exercise led by a @cornellbirds.bsky.social undergrad! Check it out @consbiog.bsky.social: onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/...

New paper out today! We demonstrate how incorporating bioacoustics into wildlife monitoring can support management and restoration planning at a bioregional scale in fire-prone forests (but really anywhere). Read it @esajournals.bsky.social: esajournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/abs/10.1...

Between 2019 and 2023, researchers paid $8.968 billion to make papers open access. Imagine what else could be done with this money if it wasnt paid to for profit publishing companies... 👉 arxiv.org/abs/2407.16551

"It's Dr, Actually" - Now available as trans and non-binary pins! I think a lot of people need a reminder right now that experts know gender isn't binary, and a lot of us need a reminder we're not alone. So please share widely! canopyrobin.etsy.com/listing/1841...
