@RHULBioSci Centre for Ecology, Evolution and Behaviour (CEEB) is delighted to welcome to the centre @CuCo_Group from @RHULPsychology led by Dr Rob Lachlan. Looking forward to learn more about group's research on cultural evolution & animal communication! https://t.co/JD3SpOjsyf

[West Oxfordshire Farmland Bird Project @WOXFarmBirds]

For the third year running Corn Buntings have nested in a solar farm we survey at a site in the Thames Valley. Today we located a nest in the wildflower meadow surrounding the solar panels, demonstrating how high quality habitat can be provided on sensitively-managed solar farms.

TODAY: Join us for a discussion on the surprising new science of how birds navigate long-haul migrations and what they listen for in songs. Moderated by @katewong. Q&A to follow.

Do you want to do a #PhD that will take you across the globe? We @RHULPsychology have a *fully funded* PhD project on comparative #culturalevolution in bird song, involving fieldwork in Scandinavia/Japan & a #citizenscience project! See https://t.co/mIVyvIMAJe #animalbehaviour

[Sheepdrove Organic Farm @Sheepdrove]

Lies Zandberg from @CuCo_Group and @RHULPsychology out and about in the farm early yesterday morning with her bespoke corn bunting recording equipment! They’ve built lots of audio recorders and put them in fields on fence posts around the farm

[Cultural Evolution & Communication Research Group @CuCo_Group]

Funded Phd Studentship! We have a four-year PhD studentship available on the topic of comparative cultural evolution in bird song. Includes fieldwork in Scandinavia and Japan (hopefully) and a citizen science project too! See here: https://t.co/VdC6ceY8HC for more details

[Cultural Evolution & Communication Research Group @CuCo_Group]

Building our own field audio recorders! In numbers (we've built 40 so far), we will be able to track cultural evolution within corn bunting dialects throughout breeding seasons with these! Thanks to @RHULPsychology for support

[Cultural Evolution & Communication Research Group @CuCo_Group]

Early signs of Spring and the first corn bunting songs have been heard🎶

[Cultural Evolution & Communication Research Group @CuCo_Group]

Delighted to have @Onate_Javi92 visiting our lab from @Bioacoustics_CU - looking forward to much discussion and knowledge exchange about his work on #bioacoustics

[Cultural Evolution & Communication Research Group @CuCo_Group]

Some exciting new data collection happening in the woods… 👀
Stay tuned!

In September, a study of #humpbackwhale song by @RoyalHolloway & @univofstandrews revealed that, while they love learning new songs, those songs change & spread through whale populations in different ways based on their location! https://t.co/csN13jpTJD @RHULPsychology
