Today is a good day!! I am really happy to see my last 2 PhD chapters published today in Nature Communications 🔥!!!

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…

Dr Mathilde Martin is giving a webinar on March 21st on a chapter of her thesis on vocal communication in Cape fur #seals .

Paper out in Ecology and Evolution: first ever recordings of Cape fur seal pups barking shows regular #rhythms are already present in pups, but differ from adult female barking rhythms. doi.org/10.1002/ece3.1…. Thanks to MaxPlanck-Psycholinguistics for #OpenAccess funding. #bioacoustic #ecology #marineMammal

Already the 2nd project, I got to work on with the great Marta Bolgan and Marta Picciulin on #rhythm in #fish #bioacoustics . Against our expectation, call rhythms didn't change with temperature. Anthropogenic #noise could play a role, though...doi.org/10.1371/journa… #OpenAccess

Looking forward to giving this talk at my old workplace Laboratory Phonology at Leibniz-ZAS next week. Fully online, in case you want to join.

Exciting post doc opportunity! Interested in humpback #whalesong , vocal learning and ontogeny? I am looking for a postdoctoral research fellow to join my lab and work on this exciting project. Apply by 4 March: vacancies.st-andrews.ac.uk/Vacancies/W/25… SMRU
