📢✨Excited to share our latest #AvianResearch paper! Over 33 years, Thrush Nightingales in Finland showed a complete turnover of song types, yet over 40% of their syllable elements persisted—revealing a fascinating facet of cultural evolution in birdsong 🔄🕰️

House finch song displays structural features that are typically found in human language! This suggests that it has evolved to minimize learning and production costs while maximizing communicative function. Out today in Proceedings B (@royalsociety) 🐦🧵 royalsocietypublishing.org/d…

I'm really looking forward to leading this workshop with @TessaRhinehart at the @GRC_NMAC_2024
It will be great to help grad students post-docs better analyze their acoustic communication data and learn the basics of bioacoustics
(RTs appreciated)

📢 Grad students and postdocs!
🚨 Please apply for the Neural Mechanisms of Acoustic Communication Gordon Research *Seminar* by April 20th.
We are excited to announce this GRS will feature a mini-bootcamp on Bioacoustics led by the fantastic @TessaRhinehart & @nicholdav 1/3

Preprint out! tinyurl.com/4j95ffsc We show age-specificity in territory attributes but weak overall age structure in space, likely due to high mortality and territory turnover. We suggest structure in habitat features contribute more to spatially-variable demography than age🌳

New preprint! We review how social behaviour changes with age, and what this might mean for overall social structure and functioning in wild populations with different age structures @samingokcekus @KristinaBeck_ @JoshAFirth doi.org/10.32942/X21893

Are you using neural network models to segment and/or annotate animal sounds?
You'll want to check out our #SfN23 poster HH22 comparing models that I present 1-5 today.
Sneak preview here:

Such an exquisite combination of arrogance & cluelessness; would be almost amusing if it weren't so harmful. Why settle for a peaceful retirement when you can use your platform and abundant bile to try to make others' lives more difficult, right?

Keir Starmer agrees that a woman is an adult human female. Will Ed Davey also rejoin the real world, science & the English language by reversing his view that a woman can “quite clearly” have a penis? Inability to face reality in small things bodes ill for more serious matters.
