Today, when asking a class of 3rd graders what makes a mammal a mammal, one replied - "They take care of their young"
Yes! But how?
"Ummm....they treat each other with respect?"
Thanks @SkypeScientist for reminding me why I love what I do
Whales! Sound! Foraging! What more could you need?
Excited to present my Master's research at #SMM2022
Check out my prerecorded talk in Virtual-Behavior on the behavioral, social, and environmental context of sound in the foraging strategies of #humpback#whales
The Center had right whale researchers on the water and in the air yesterday who noted 4 pairs of moms and calves in Cape Cod Bay. The photo, taken April 3, is of Tripelago and her calf.
All vessels in Cape Cod Bay are required to travel at 10 knots or less through April 30.
Today 10am, @ParksLabSU member Sarah Weiss will defend her Masters Thesis, “Investigating the behavioral and social context of sound in the surface foraging strategies of humpback whales (Megaptera novaeangliae)” Join in LSC 106 or on Zoom. Message us for link! Go @SarahGWeiss1!
Our behaviors are influenced by those around us, but how can we understand the influence of others on behavior when our tagged animals are out of sight?
Check us out at #BLS7 for a new method using acoustics recorded on #biologging tags to determine social context @BLS7Hawaii
I developed a seminar series #DiverseBehavior for my #AnimalBehavior course @sunyesf to introduce students to awesome researchers & new research
(inspiration @SarahKnutie)
1st speaker: @SarahGWeiss1
Topic: behavioral & social context of sound in the foraging of humpback whales
BABEL members are gearing up for #ABS2021 this week! Catch some whale acoustics talks from @zeh_julia on Wednesday morning during All in the Family: Social Signals and from @SarahGWeiss1 on Wednesday evening during Feed Me, Seymour: Foraging Behavior
We're excited to share @SarahGWeiss1's first paper with @NOAAFish_NEFSC and collaborators from @ScrippsAEL, Scripps Whale Acoustics Lab and the Scripps Computational Acoustics Lab! 🎉🎉
