Check out my new paper showing that whistling is metabolically cheap in bottlenose dolphins – https://t.co/LLVuMVRNpZ @frantsjensen @andreasfahlman1 @BioacousticsAU – Please do not hesitate to contact me for pdf! (1/6)

Incredible things are happening on my bag of legumes

[Journal of Experimental Biology @J_Exp_Biol]

In his ECRSpotlight, @michael_bjerre_ tells how the great starling migrations in Denmark sparked his curiosity for the natural world, how bats deal with the echoes they aren’t interested in when using their sonar & how he'd love to run a marathon someday

... @J_Exp_Biol also very kindly offered to do an #ECR #Spotlight of me in relation to this article being published which you can find here.:)

The final chapter of my PhD is now out in @J_Exp_Biol! We show that #echolocating #bats need not accommodate clutter echoes in their auditory scenes via acoustic adjustments, but can instead successfully reject clutter via auditory streaming. Check it out: https://t.co/eIHmWio17k

[Michael Pedersen @michael_bjerre_]

Check out the results of the PhD project I worked on during the 2021 and 2022 field season published in @CurrentBiology showing that #echolocating #bats operate with vocal-motor time constants an order of magnitude faster than other mammals and birds (Photo: @KaloyanaKosseff) :)

[Bioacoustics AU @BioacousticsAU]

New paper out in @CurrentBiology by lab Postdoc @michael_bjerre_ showing that bats have a superfast Lombard response of just 20 milliseconds in flight in response to sudden noises 🦇

Really interesting thing happened in my Gen Bio class today!

Rather than discuss figures from a paper like normal, I gave them raw data from a paper and asked them to MAKE the figures...

Had a great time at the #SensoryEcology course in #UniversityLund , Sweden.
The course organized by #EricWarrant #MarieDacke and #Christerlöfstedt was a delight to attend.
Got the opportunity to meet the pioneers of Sensory Biology.

nasa: guys we've zoomed in on pluto and i'm afraid to say it's made of house sparrows

[Becca Hamilton @BeccaAHamilton]

Super excited to announce the publication of my masters results! We looked at the communication of dolphins during a role-specialized behavior. The paper is available open access here:

The first depiction of a bat with a melon #BatAnatomyOrBadAnatomy

Thanks for the cute drawing @RikkeNordgren, it really perks up the field season

[Mulle @RikkeNordgren]

My brother @michael_bjerre_ is getting his PhD in Bat Science™ and thanks to him I have learned a lot. (If you’re interested in actual factual information, go look at his articles.)

[Eran Amichai @EAmichai]

Just read a really cool paper from the @BioacousticsAU group (@michael_bjerre_ @KBeedholm @AstridUebel @jam_machund @LauraStidsholt, Signe Brinkløv & Peter T. Madsen) showing that bats mitigate jamming by Lombard response rather than spectral shifts

This work was a group effort, so a huge thanks goes out to all of my wonderful coworkers in the @BioacousticsAU lab @theclickitclick, @KBeedholm @AstridUebel & @LauraStidsholt 7/7

[Michael Pedersen @michael_bjerre_]

The first paper of my PhD is out, investigating the popular (and decades old) idea of the ‘Jamming Avoidance Response’ (JAR) in echolocating #Bats – please don’t hesitate to get in touch for a pdf!

[Michael Pedersen @michael_bjerre_]

Thus we find no evidence of a spectral JAR in Daubenton’s bats, which is in accordance with other more recent work in the field (for example, see https://t.co/YbGTvjFV00 https://t.co/OZM4z7QE05) 6/7

[Mitch Roth @mitch_roth12]

Normalize describing all methods in a paper, even if they were done "as described in [16]."

Because [16] did it "as described by [9]", and [9] cites an abstract from the 70s that is unavailable. 🤦‍♂️
@AcademicChatter

[Bioacoustics AU @BioacousticsAU]

NEW PAPER ALERT!

First PhD paper from our student @theclickitclick
on #bat #biosonar & #noise out today in @J_Exp_Biol! 🦇

Great team: @michael_bjerre_ @KBeedholm @AstridUebel @jam_machund @LauraStidsholt, Signe Brinkløv & Peter T. Madsen
