📌Just published: "Meta-analysis of the acoustic adaptation hypothesis reveals no support for the effect of vegetation structure on acoustic signalling across terrestrial vertebrates" More details 👇 onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/br…

📢 New paper! F0 estimation is a classic task in the Music Information Retrieval (#MIR) community. Yet, it's much less studied in bioacoustics—despite its frequent use to describe animal sounds. Images from doi.org/10.1038/srep41… doi.org/10.1098/rspb.2… doi.org/10.3389/fmars.…

Meta-analysis finds no support for the Acoustic Adaptation Hypothesis 😲😳 Now published, by @brbbfreitas w/ @ornitho_pie @borjamila @cjytheb @TimJanicke Excellent explainer 🧵 👇

Hello science Twitter! It's time to re-evaluate a long standing hypothesis in bioacoustics!!🤯🤯🤯 No current support for the acoustic adaptation hypothesis but we think it's still worth testing a refined version... Find out how 👇👇👇 Brilliantly led by Dr (so soon!!) Freitas

🚨Today the African Penguin has been uplisted to Critically Endangered by the IUCN, just one short step away from extinction in the wild. It’s simple, the longer we wait the more we lose. 🐧 Uplist report: tinyurl.com/3yfaabu9 Petition: tinyurl.com/2pdf32ke

Do you want to share your #AudioMoth devices? My student (USA based) would need some for their research project!🐦🦉🐦‍⬛ (We'd pay for all costs) The group order from the official website is currently sold out and I thought to ask fellow scholars before going for expensive options
