The 'Puss in Boots' effect: How a dog's eye size changes a woman's voice pitch https://phys.org/news/2023-08-puss-boots-effect-dog-eye.html #Bioacoustics

First week of the fall semester is in the books.

Excited to find students in my classes (Conservation Biology, General Biology) engaging with me, each other and the material in ways I've missed for the past several years. It makes it exciting to be back in the classroom!

Next week my research students come back to the lab, and we'll tackle new questions in local #bioacoustics and soundscapes
Can't wait!

"Elk calls have regional dialects
Whales, bats and birds sound different depending on where they live. So do elk, according to new research."
"Pennsylvania’s elk herds were translocated from the West in the early 1900s, and today they have longer tonal whistles and quieter bugles than elk in Colorado. Meanwhile, bugles change frequency from low to high tones more sharply in Wyoming than they do in Pennsylvania or Colorado."

Working on #bioacoustics with such a great group of people is fun and stimulating! Thank you all, and specially @arikkershenbaum @JacobCDunn @Cambridge_Uni for the invitation.

#Vibroscape of a coastal meadow in #Slovenia. All the signals you can hear are from the local community of #insects. Imagine yourself for a second in the meadow, a tiny you, hanging in a blade of grass, feeling all these vibrations around you.

It can get loud out there! And the signals recorded are different from those recorded in meadows of a different habitat (as expected in my hypothesis, hurray!)

#introduction
Some more details. Thanks to technology we are able now to #listen to a secret #environment hidden from our senses. I study #vibrational #communication in #insects. They use #plants to propagate their vibrational signals in nature.
This branch of #Biology is named #Biotremology. Adapting the definition of #soundscape, we want to bring attention to the existence of a #vibroscape , that could be of special interest for #bioacoustics #conservation #ecoacoustics #behavior #science 🌱

🪸32 coral reef sites recorded in La Réunion 🌋 🎤

We now have more soundscapes to analyse the biological activity and assess the status of these endangered ecosystems. 🐠

🎥We also have videos to match fish species with their sounds!

We're excited to be part way through shipping all of the AudioMoth and HydroMoth orders! #bioacoustics #wildlife

We are hiring a Research Engineer!

Aside from managing and mixing streams from every time zone on the planet, last year SoundCamp, the organizers of #Reveil, also built a cool Portable Auditorium in Stave Hill Ecological Park, London.

I wonder how they'll set it up this year.

Only a few hours to go now.

New instance, new #intro time. #introduction
We're the Gaptangle, a #plural collective of large and fluctuating numbers. There are roughly 25 of us capable of fronting. The one you'll see the most right now is Ammonite. Others will, try to, remember to sign.
We're a not easily nameable flavor of anarchist, focused on loose networks of small independent communities and households. Different fronters' views won't be quite the same.
As much as we'd like to, we've never had the time to develop an extensive scientific background on our interests and theoretical background on our anarchism, plus reading gets more difficult as our mental stuff advances, but I am too determined to let it go yet. So just so you know, we're largely the hands in the dirt watch stuff happen and learn that way type.
We intend to do field recording in the future but didn't put it in the hashtags because we have no equipment, and I refuse to use it saying we do it when so far I've only recorded anything with my phone, since it's what I have right now. I have some pride OK lol

What is listening to you where you think no one is watching?
The question what would they say to you if they could let you know is too simple. Too simple by far. And somehow at the same time too complicated by far as well.

So many #ProudMentor moments today at @SUNYGeneseo #GREATDay2023

The #HannamLab had two poster presentations and an oral presentation on #bioacoustics & #soundscape ecology.

#UndergraduateResearch makes things happen around here!

SPECIAL ISSUE: FISH BIOACOUSTICS
In this study, the sound properties produced by the white-edged rockfish (Sebastes taczanowskii Steindachner, 1880) were compared with the body size.https://doi.org/10.1121/10.0017424

RT @nicholdav: Just added support for working with the @getaudacity extended label track format to crowsetta as part of our @pyOpenSci review, as suggested by scikit-maad developer Silvain Haupert. I think many are using this format in #bioacoustics but haven't seen any shared datasetsDavid Nicholson (https://github.com/NickleDave) contributed https://github.com/vocalpy/crowsetta/commit/98f9c429dc7e621491cc48e1e8a6a4818b8976af…: MRG: #226 from vocalpy/add-audacity-bbox

Add format class for Audacity extended label track, fix #213

Do you know how these hatchlings find their way to the ocean? #Bioacoustics has shown that their share with each other their readiness to break out of their eggs. Mother turtles make specific noises calling the babies from the water! The Sounds of Life https://karenbakker.org/
