Admissions to The International Master of Bioacoustics MoBi for the 24-25 academic year are now open 🔊😀. Program, Eligibility, Schedule and Application Process can be found here: masterofbioacoustics.com. MoBi is open to students from BSc degree or more advanced (PhD, postdoc)

Happy New Year, everyone!! And a reminder that applications are open for our #fieldcourse - join us this summer in the extraordinary Kibale Forest. Come and learn with world-class teachers, including some of the best biodiversity and conservation experts in Uganda!

Last chance to apply for 1 of 27 Marie Sklodowska Curie postdoc positions available University of Cyprus #ONISILOS to join our interdisciplinary landscape genomics and carotenoids team. This is a really great opportunity! Deadline 25th Jan 2024. See tinkerbirds.com. DM me!

Sleep fragmentation induces a decrease in vocal production of a social rodent, without altering the acoustic characteristics of the vocalisations emitted. See this new paper by the ENES Bioacoustics Research Team 👇 tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.10…

📢 please RT: paid field assistant position‼️ We are searching for an experienced person to help us with our 2024 field season (April-July). We work with #piedflycatchers in beautiful Södermanland, Sweden! Last date to apply: 31 March 2024. Details: bit.ly/3u3WwEW

Watch the accompanying video for our study on the genomics of vocal rhythm in birds!

Stephanie Blain has used our long-term tracking data to test if hybrids survive at lower rates because of their intermediate behavior. She found strong support for this hypothesis and thus the role migration plays in #speciation. doi.org/10.1111/ele.14… (2/3)

Color morphs in female Cuculus cuckoos explained: from pigments and genes through population genetics! From Hungary to most of Eurasia! science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…

This is everything.. to deprive oneself the opportunity of wild things is, to me, starving the soul..

By studying a system with innate vocalizations, Pogoniulus tinkerbirds, Sebastianelli et al. find candidate genes that underlie differences in speed in vocal rhythm in this system. Matteo Sebastianelli🇮🇹🇨🇴 Alex Kirschel nature.com/articles/s4146…

Don't forget to apply for the International Master of Bioacoustics MOBI! Deadline: May 31. Students with a background in biology, or physics or machine learning welcome. Also open to PhD students. masterofbioacoustics.com/admissions

The online Biodiversity Genomics Conference (BG24) is happening again 28 Oct - 1 Nov across time zones. To give a talk, apply by 30 June. I can highly recommend it. There will also be another Biodiversity Genomics Academy with BG24. More info on that soon. Please retweet!

Hot on the heels of the Giant Hummer paper in PNAS, another big-hitting bird speciation story appears, this time gracing the cover of Science. Langmore et al. show that coevolution between parasitic cuckoos and their hosts may drive sympatric speciation. science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…

So disappointing. Just as we were about to submit a manuscript to it. Back to the drawing board for that one.

Devastating loss for the community, friends and family. Martin studied for his PhD in my lab at the University of Cyprus, was a friend and collaborator. May he rest in peace.

I couldn't believe my eyes June 2022, my first time in the Caribbean & Puerto Rican humid forest was full of endemic birds and...Black-faced Grassquits??? This observation sparked a project out today in Ecology Letters w/ Eliot Miller Matt SM onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/el…

Are you looking for academic training in bioacoustics and ecoacoustics? Whether you're starting a master's degree, preparing a PhD thesis, or already hold a PhD, there's something for everyone (and you may be surprised by the fees). tropbioacschool.com/bioacoustics-c…
