🐦🧬 What can unraveling songbird genomes tell us about human speech and vocal learning in other species? Erich Jarvis, visionary and head of the Vertebrate Genomes Project, explains how genome comparisons reveal insights about vocal learners. 🗣️✨ Discover new biology! ✨listen here 👉bit.ly/3Jv9C5f Why use genomes to decode speech? 🔍🌐 💡 Genomes show us which genes and pathways make talking, singing, and rhythmic communication possible — and why some species can do it while others can’t.

New preprint out. Happy to have had the chance to work once more with @ptsgmartins on #VocalLearning. Here we focus on why uncontroversial evidence of vocal production learning (the ability to modify vocal output on the basis of experience) is so rare in the animal kingdom 🧵

Received my confirmation letter this morning so guess I'm officially Dr🐦 Big thank you to the best supervisors @ke_cain @mc_stanley1 & @AucklandUni #titipounamu #vocallearning

#VocalLearning has evolved in 3 orders of birds. @eric_schuppe @erichjarvis @fuxjagerlab &co show that #woodpeckers have evolved brain nuclei to mediate their drum displays; these closely mirror those underlying song learning in #songbirds #PLOSBiology plos.io/3DDOLaT

Defended my thesis today & celebrated with a delicious Thai bbq-hotpot dinner! Thank you @ke_cain & @mc_stanley1 Labs for the wonderful and rich 3.5 years 😌 #PhDone @ScienceUoA #vocallearning #titipounamu

Did you know #manatees and #elephants are cousins and make super similar-looking sounds??? Do you want to know MORE??? Then check out our newest #openaccess #review paper on #vocallearning in elephants and #sirenians. @FINS_NGO @AntonBaotic Read it here: shorturl.at/bqI46

Can someone point me to a study that shows that human infants/toddlers use imitation as part of their vocal learning strategy? I'd be much obliged. #vocallearning
