@JanMartini4 and I are very excited and honored that our essay has been awarded the third place at this year's ÖAW #Preisfrage!

Looking for a PhD position and have a background in machine learning and/or (audio) signal processing? Interested in whether other animals might have something akin to language? Join our team: oeaw.ac.at/fileadmin/subs…

It has come to our attention that some people are only just finding out about ECBB 2024. The organising committee have therefore decided to extend the submission deadline for abstracts! (don't worry, you will still get an answer back soon).

⭐️Double job advert alert!⭐️ We are seeking a #PhD student and a #Postdoc to work on communication and collective behavior in animal groups, using our exciting new #biologging datasets! Join us @MPI_animalbehav @UniKonstanz More info 👇 and at cocomo.group/join

If you're looking for a general resource on acoustic communication in animals, this book that just came out is worth checking out. It includes some really interesting stuff: link.springer.com/book/10.1007/9…

-Animal communication pals- 🐸📢 What are some popular approaches for determining whether two signals (calls, gestures, whatever) are within the same 'bout'? Do you find any of them robust for use across species/domains? Main methods I am familiar with are: 🧵

Our second researcher for this #NCCRWomen week is @FranzisWegdell! She is a PhD student @UZH_en, researching vocal communication of wild bonobos @kokolopori Bonobo Research. @ISLE_uzh @DeptCompLangSci @NCCRWomen

If anyone is aware of published vocal datasets (incl. recordings) which comprise of more than one call-type (as in e.g. Alarm and Contact calls, not more than one type of Contact call) please direct me towards it!

Last seminar of 2022! Join us as we try to bridge the R-python divide with talks from Marcelo Araya-Salas @M_Araya_Salas and Yannick Jadoul of @ComBioacoustics on using R and python for bioacoustics 🗓️ December 15th @ 16:00 CET ✅ Register here: bit.ly/3Ul4yA3

In this week's Mennill Lab meeting we discussed a chapter of the new book: "Exploring Animal Behavior Through Sounds." Chapter 1 is a history of sound recording equipment by @GianniPavan et al. The book is open access (!) here: link.springer.com/book/10.1007/9…

⭐️OPEN PHD POSITION: Communication & collective action in spotted hyenas⭐️ Come work with us to analyze high-res GPS, audio, & IMU data from an entire hyena clan, currently being collected @MaraHyenas! Apply by 16 Dec 2022: imprs-qbee.mpg.de/54728/PhD-Posi…

Bioacoustics is a great noninvasive method to monitor animals. Join us next Monday (Nov 7) at noon (US ET) to learn about analysis of bioacoustic data in R with Dr. Marcelo Araya-Salas! Details and registration at bit.ly/2XiNZgU
