Bioacoustics and Behavioral Ecology Lab

Highlights about the most recent publication from the lab by ⁦@zeh_julia⁩! Caller ID of the sea: Novel method of simultaneous acoustic tagging provides insight into whale communication phys.org/news/2024-03-c…

New paper alert! Drone deployment of suction cup acoustic tags provides data describing individual calling behavior by endangered sei whales feeding in Massachusetts. doi.org/10.1121/10.002…

Thanks to @ProfParksSU and her lab for hosting me this week in sunny Syracuse. Been working on a joint southern right whale passive acoustic density estimation project. Note to @CREEM_cake: the pastries here are really good! 😊

Oh, the Places You'll Go! (with an A&S education) Learn how then-Ph.D. candidate Colin Swider's G'23 time in @ParksLabSU took him to the Central African Republic to study the acoustic communication of African forest elephants 🐘🌍 #WorldElephantDay syracuse.edu/stories/phd-st…

So excited to share that PhD student Valeria Perez, of the Parks lab, was selected as a 2023 National Defense Science & Engineering Graduate Fellowship recipient. Click the link below for more about this prestigious award! ndseg.org/about #syracuseuniversity #NDSEG

If you find the tag, use the contact information on the unit or email stellwagen@noaa.gov. The sanctuary staff and research partners appreciate your help in getting this tag back home. (2/2)

Sanctuary researchers are asking for help in locating 2 missing research "tags" used to study large whales. The units are ~6 in, look like a toy bug, with suction cup feet and antennae on its "head." The tags could wash ashore anywhere along the MA Coast. (1/2)

Using a grid of acoustic recorders dispersed across a large tract of rainforest, we are currently investigating forest elephant behavior and landscape use, and how they are impacted by their greatest threat— poaching for ivory. 🧵3/3

The #SRW2022 ship left our home-harbour at Itapirubá - SC, Brazil. Our team members are returning home after an epic journey collecting visual and acoustic data on southern right whales. We are exhausted but incredibly proud of what we accomplished! @ParksLabSU

We are hoping to see a gorgeous sunrise tomorrow while we recover our SoundTrap array for the last time in the #SRW2022 season. We are almost there team! @ParksLabSU

We never get tired of celebrating the success of our tagging days! @oceanmaciel breaking all records as the season's tagger. SISBIO 60342 #SRW2022 #biologging @ParksLabSU

The #SRW2022 team use pingers to enable time alignment and to estimate the error of sound localization from our SoundTrap array deployed at Itapiruba. Our day on the water always starts with the pinger procedure. @ParksLabSU

Oh.... the views the #SRW2022 team gets of Itapirabá bay are breathtaking! Our land station at Morro de Itapirubá is a great site to count and track right whales using binos and the team's theodolite (aka Stuart).

#SRW2022 in action: all hands on deck tracking DTAGs from land. Tracking is one of the most challenging and rewarding phases of a tagging cruise. Can't wait to get my hands on data 🤓

Exclusive backstage image of our 2nd SoundTrap array deployment. Go #SRW2022 team! Phase 2 is on. SISBIO #60324 @ParksLabSU
