'Evolutionary drivers of caching behaviour in corvids', new paper by @coloeus.bsky.social in collaboration with @babeheim.bsky.social. We identify caching strategies in 63 species from 16 genera (out of 128 corvid species and 22 genera) #animalcognition #corvids link.springer.com/article/10.1...

New paper on Human baby cries by the ENES Bioacoustics Research Lab: grand-parents retain the ability to identify whether a baby cry is emitted in a context of simple discomfort or real pain. @royalsocietypublishing.org #bioacoustics #parenting #baby royalsocietypublishing.org/doi/10.1098/...

Imagine listening to a language you don't know. When does one word end, and another begin? Human infants face a similar challenge. Scientists have looked at exactly how babies recognise patterns in speech from birth.

🌿 Join the @mbchimp.bsky.social ! 🐵 Seeking a part-time Data Assistant in Göttingen, Germany. Ideal candidates have experience in GIS and R, and will work with camera trap and spatial data. Dive into chimpanzee behavioral ecology in Guinea's PNMB. #Conservation #DataScience

One of our latest papers, Biodenoising, has been accepted to #ICASSP2025! Biodenoising is our newest method to tackle one of ethology & bioacoustics' biggest data analysis challenges – background noise! 🧵👇🏻 www.earthspecies.org/blog/biodeno...

🚨Come work with us in charming Tübingen and become a member of our growing Freigeist group! We offer a 2-year postdoc position on the communicative plasticity in wild and captive bonobos, fully funded by @volkswagenstiftung.bsky.social. Applications open until March 15th. bit.ly/4gVa5Je

I am more than excited - I’m over the moon - to see this big baby finally out into the world! 🤩 So happy to work with such amazing data wizards Delphine De Moor, Macaela Skelton & Christof Neumann. Kudos to Laurent Brent Julia Ostner & Oliver Schülke for making the dream come true too! #bigteamsci

Are the Trump team’s actions affecting your research? How to contact Nature

Roses are red. Violets are blue. We do not doubt the technical quality of your study. However, we are not persuaded that the findings represent a sufficient advance to warrant publication in Nature Valentines, & are returning the paper without a review. #AcademicValentine

The shark doctor is in! Ask me anything. Have questions about sharks? About marine biology? About ocean conservation? About me? For the next hour or so, ask me anything! Please share and please tag friends who might have a question! Check out my book: www.press.jhu.edu/books/title/... 🧪🦑🌎🦈

🚨IMPORTANT CONGRESS INFO - DATE CHANGE to 20-25th July This week we were informed that the President of Madagascar has decided to host the SADC (Southern African Development Community) Summit in Madagascar at the same time we were planning to have the IPS Congress.

📢Senior Editor vacancy! We're looking for an active researcher with broad interests in #animal #ecology & related fields, to join our #editorial team ⏰Deadline 20th Feb 👇Full details www.britishecologicalsociety.org/content/seni...

News coverage of our article on Signal traditions and cultural loss in chimpanzees: Male chimps ask for sex in different 'dialects' doi:10.1126/science.zmqOxon www.science.org/content/arti...

Can stress help monkeys survive? New research shows that on wild capuchin monkeys with stronger stress responses during previous droughts were more likely to survive an extreme drought. Study by Leakey grantees @sccarrera.bsky.social @irene-godoy.bsky.social @jbeehner.bsky.social & colleagues.

We uncovered the same statistical structure that is a hallmark of human language in whale song, published today in Science. @inbalarnon.bsky.social @simonkirby.bsky.social @jennyallen13.bsky.social @clairenea.bsky.social @emma-carroll.bsky.social www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

Super happy to have won the Best Scientific Description Award at the Art In La Doua edition! My photo shows a clarinet on a nestbox, illustrating my paper on how tits can learn to associate 2 acoustic signals. indico.in2p3.fr/event/33760/... More on my paper here: link.springer.com/article/10.1...

That's us! Loved working with the wall lizards. Hoping for more to come (fingers crossed for the grant application)

Mobbing sequences of American wrens elicit mobbing responses in European tits Very nice to see this out in #AnimalBehaviourJournal! www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

Interesting captive demonstration. Shame that sometimes previous work is not being cited rigorously. We showed exactly this effect in wild bonobos (not with pointing but with calling) see royalsocietypublishing.org/doi/full/10....

Are humans the only species that communicates when a collaborator is missing information? In @pnas.org, Luke Townrow and I show that our closest relatives, bonobos, can track when a partner is knowledgeable or ignorant, and tailor communication accordingly www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/...

New paper alert 📢📢📢 Study from the Taï chimpanzees shows that some gestures used by chimpanzees reflect dialects and that human activity has led to loss of cultural signal use. Please read here: Signal traditions and cultural loss in chimpanzees: Current Biology www.cell.com/current-biol...

Are you funded by #NIH, #NSF or #CDC? Please post any letters or communications you’ve received from these agencies or HHS about restrictions on grant funding, publications etc. I want to catalog all of them for the record. #medsky #episky
