A study in @NatureComms describes the genes linked to bird song rhythm and tempo and suggests that two genes—Neurexin-1 and Coenzyme Q8A—which are also known to affect human speech, may shape vocal rhythm in birds. https://t.co/2Jk1N7I6k1
My research group #BECO at the @UAntwerpen is offering an opportunity to study the behaviour and behavioural responses in a changing and urbanizing world in #birds.
We are looking for a motivated post-doc researcher!

Loving deep-sea fish and molecular evolution?
We're hiring!:-) Looking for a motivated PhD student to join us to study evolution of vision & to explore limits of vertebrate eye in extreme environment. Deadline 15th March. Thanks for applying and sharing!

Whilst some aspects of bird song are learnt, rhythm is thought to be an innate trait in most species and plays an important role in sexual selection and species recognition. However, little is known about the genetic basis of song rhythm. Matteo Sebastianelli and colleagues
Very happy to share a new preprint on Tinkerbirds! We used phylogenomics and hybrid zone analyses to investigate patterns of introgression and plumage evolution. Let me knwo what you think! https://t.co/JtL74RoRRj (1/3)

By studying a system with innate vocalizations, Pogoniulus tinkerbirds, Sebastianelli et al. find candidate genes that underlie differences in speed in vocal rhythm in this system.

Our study provides a first look into the genetic underpinnings of vocal rhythm! I was very lucky to work on this study @akirschel@lukhelembhekeni@secomandisimona and many others!!!

The metronome nature of brown meagre calls is independent of environmental factors, suggesting isochrony is a fitness-related trait.
This paper supports incorporating rhythm analysis in fish bio and ecoacoustic studies

CYPRUS BIRD TRAPPERS OUTSIDE THE LAW. This autumn has seen worrying signs of increased trapping with no government agency prepared to take responsibility for enforcement 1/4 https://t.co/zkBjDpCYwt
