1/ Our newest paper in @NatureComms today. We show that „use it or lose it” also applies to vocal muscles in songbirds. doi.org/10.1038/s41467…

Adam et al. show that zebra finches need daily singing exercise to build & maintain peak vocal muscle performance, and that lack of exercise alters vocal muscle physiology & reduces attractiveness to females. @_irisadam @CoenElemans nature.com/articles/s4146…

@DanishIAS @KMAttard @DFF_raad @NATsdu Wohoooo!

"Marine primary production in a changing Arctic Ocean" is the headline of DIAS Fellow @KMAttard's project title which just received the Sapere Aude research leader grant from @DFF_raad. 👏👏👏 Read a portrait of Karl Attard and his research area here: dff.dk/forskningsproj…

@AmeliaRotaru @NATsdu This is awesome news! Huge congratulations! 💐🥳🥂

@jesseGlab I might.

@ birdsong peeps: Anyone have audio recordings of ALL interactions between a male and female from the moment they first met until days or weeks thereafter, including hundreds to thousands of directed songs specifically to that female? Pls DM me if yes.

We are very excited to share our new study on babbling behavior in bat pups. Kudos to my great team - Ahana Fernandez, Lara Burchardt, and Martina Nagy! @mfnberlin @stri_panama @aaas sciencemag.org/news/2021/08/b…

@FarrahNMadison These are mine, I had them built by a carpenter and then equipped them with foam, light etc myself. I'm fairly happy with them 🙂

After days of fiddling, I just fixed a huge problem on my precious muscle rig with a square cm of cling film... Not sure what to think 🤔 😅

Come join our great interdisciplinary and international team!

Sangfugle bliver bare ved og ved med at imponere! nyt studie i @CurrentBiology med støtte fra @Carlsbergfondet @DFF_raad @novonordiskfond sdu.dk/da/nyheder/for…

@cedricboeckx @CoenElemans Thanks you so much! I'm happy you like it :)

@CoenElemans congrats to first-author @_irisadam, whose twitter handle I failed to notice (apologies)

Impressive description re:#birdsong in this @CurrentBiology paper by @CoenElemans et al.: “syringeal muscle motor pool has the highest control resolution possible in the vertebrate nervous system”; innovation “pivotal to expand the acoustic feature space” cell.com/current-biolog…
