The world's songbirds sing in just 8 basic sounds. And where a bird lives decides which ones it uses.

My first PhD paper is out now in @ScienceMagazine (https://t.co/4xuKoGnNKJ).

A new analysis in Science of more than 116,000 bird songs has revealed that the astonishing variety of passerine birdsong is built from just eight basic acoustic motifs, like trills, whistles, and harmonic notes.

The findings also reveal that local environments greatly shape how birds communicate around the world. Learn more: https://t.co/3oaQ0sKQfJ

@wildwithbears @ScienceMagazine Thanks! Send me an email and I'll share the manuscript. We're arranging a public version with my co-authors.

Yesterday, I started my #PhD journey!
I'll be studying how global changes affect bird communication, taking a biogeographical approach to the acoustics of the world's birds. Bringing together ecology and bioacoustics on a global scale!
