There's still so much to discover about crocodilian acoustic communication. Great to see this new #bioacoustics paper on the novel underwater pops in the gharial: onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/...
onlinelibrary.wiley.com
Gharial acoustic signaling: Novel underwater pops are temporally based, context‐dependent, seasonally stable, male‐specific, and individually distinctive
Male gharials (Gavialis gangeticus) produce loud underwater POPs by rapid jaw clapping 1–3×. POPs are temporally based, context-dependent, seasonally stable, and individually distinctive. The bulbous...

🦇 Nature vs Growth? The false choice threatening our future: www.bats.org.uk/news/2025/01... . Should developers 'stop worrying about the bats and the newts'? They don't have to; pitting nature against development is dangerous, irresponsible and unnecessary.

🦇 (1/2) In response to the Chancellor of the Exchequer’s speech today: we believe that blaming the laws that protect bats, newts and other wildlife, as well as our wider environment, for planning delays is short sighted and misguided.

Not one, but two new greater mouse-eared bat have been found www.bats.org.uk/news/2025/01...

🦇 This is absolutely terrific news!! Since 2002, for 20 winters, one solo male greater mouse-eared bat was recorded hibernating in a tunnel near the south coast, by Sussex Bat Group. In early 2023 a second bat was recorded in the same tunnel. A record in a new county is amazing!!

Natural soundscapes enhance mood recovery amid anthropogenic noise pollution
In urbanised landscapes, the scarcity of green spaces and increased exposure to anthropogenic noise have adverse effects on health and wellbeing. While reduced speed limits have historically been impl...

Kicking off my Bluesky account with a little plug for our new #bioacoustics paper, showing acoustic indices enable us to disciminate between temperate forest types (and bird species composition): www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti... 🎤🌲🌳🐦🕊️

Acoustic indices enable the discrimination of temperate forest types and better predict differences in bird species composition than in bird species richness
Acoustic indices have been proposed as a tool to estimate animal biodiversity and abundance, as well as habitat types and vegetation structure. Howeve…
