New paper alert: “Birds respond more strongly to locally common versus locally rare songs: a playback experiment with Savannah sparrows.” Out now in Animal Behaviour.
We ask: How do birds respond to common and rare local song? 🧵1/6 doi.org/10.1016/j.anbe…

🏆 Gabriel Jorgewich-Cohen has shown in his dissertation that turtles communicate acoustically. The postdoctoral researcher at the UZH Paleontological Institute has been awarded the Prix Schläfli Biology by SCNAT for this discovery: news.uzh.ch/en/articles/ne…

Our paper on the genomics of vocal rhythm in birds is out in Nature Communications! We assembled a tinkerbird reference genome and using 135 whole genomes in a hybrid zone, we found that rhythm speed and stability are associated with genes that affect human speech. nature.com/articles/s4146…

The progression, causes and effects of climate change have been measured by everything from multimillion-dollar satellites to the humble thermometer, but increasingly scientists — including a team in Okinawa — are turning to sound. japantimes.co.jp/environment/20…

Last night in Zahara de los Atunes, Mediterranean (Southern Field) Cricket (Gryllus bimaculatus) singing under the dune boardwalk #Orthoptera #biol0028 #uclecolgen #Andalucía

Excited to share a new publication by our team, Mayuri Kotian , Pavithra Sundar, Taksh Sangwan and, Pooja Choksi where we used passive acoustic data to understand how a bird changes its
vocalization in response to the removal of an invasive shrub.

despite the dreadful wind I managed a sound recording of the Woodchat Shrike at Beddington Farmlands xeno-canto thank you to Mark Bravery 🇺🇦 🇵🇸 and also to my bro Magnus Andersson for the heads up it had been singing Peter Alfrey Zach Pannifer - excellent with access

... next level sounds of nature.

Huge news for bioacousticians: frog/toad recordings can now be shared on xeno-canto!

As more recordings become catalogued in a central database, #bioacoustic studies (e.g. by RIBBiTR BII) will be better able to detect anurans and study their responses to threats like chytrid.
