What if birds really could talk? Dive into how bioacoustics is decoding complex bird communication,from jungle babblers’ social calls to hints of “lost” species hidden in soundscapes.
Read a story on evolution & acoustic ecology!

Great vision, and wonderful execution.

@nushiamme Congrats Anusha!

[V. V. Robin @vvrobin]

So cool to see a nice new study on Wayanad Sky Island birds by @ck_vishnudas and @HumeEcology. Perhaps the first such comprehensive study, and an important baseline! Congrats to the team!

@IiserTirupati @EduMinOfIndia We are delighted to host Esha - a fantastic way to salvage birds that are already dead, and use them for science

[Chiti @ChitiArvind]

Last-leg of data 🤞 - (1) said goodbye to our trusty steed who saw us though 2.5 years of fieldwork; (2) if anyone caught us on their camera trap walking through the Sholas - hi to those sifting through the photos; (3) ending with an (almost😄-)all-girl-field team! 💪💪

[V. V. Robin @vvrobin]

@Torsay @eLife @NevoSagi @NakedScientists So cool!
