🦜 NMSU Prof. Tim Wright and alum Bushra Moussaoui ‘22 are in the news! They’re studying budgies and how their language learning relates to our language learning: https://t.co/x8Mvl2sgLW

Listening to a PhD defense on insect navigation that starts with a review of old findings (Darwin, Santchi, Tinbergen, etc) and realizing that again and again the fundamental work of Charles Henry Turner is omitted. Truly regrettable as omission perpetuates marginalization.

@CSULBMammalLab @snappysparrowmh @AnimBehSociety Ted, congratulations, running a successful ABS meeting is no small feat!!

@kohn_gregory @M_Araya_Salas So although the official title is a mouthful, it can be boiled down to “You can teach an old bird new calls, but they may not care to learn from you”. Our local NPR station did a nice synopsis. https://t.co/tQ2hK3ZfNa

I know you are supposed to love them all equally, but the truth is some you love more equally than others. Such is the case with the first chapter from Bushra Moussaoui’s MS thesis, open access now in Proc Roy Soc B. Here’s why . . . https://t.co/VPeAmYh2Mz

@kohn_gregory @M_Araya_Salas When Bushra examined learning, she found the two age classes did not differ in vocal plasticity nor convergence to others, suggesting older birds are capable of learning. Older birds had less diverse call repertoires, though, perhaps reflecting their sparser social networks.

Protein, rather than fat, may limit the flight time of such epic migrators as blackpoll warblers. The tiny birds flew for 28 hours in a wind tunnel—a new record—and only quit when their protein reserves gave out. In PNAS: https://t.co/U9wUMlqOo1

My students and I took this course a couple years ago to learn how to analyze sound in R. @M_Araya_Salas is the R sound guru -- highly recommended! https://t.co/MylYhCEM44
