Researchers in Yellowstone National Park are using AI and bioacoustic recorders to decode "wolfish", the complex vocal language of wolf packs. By isolating over 8,000 hours of continuous wolf calls, the tech offers new insights for wildlife conservation & remote tracking. Justin Catanoso reports.

‘Don’t shoot. Listen’: The AI-aided quest to understand Yellowstone’s wolves

Jeff Reed wasn’t raised to hate wolves. But as a child he bought into the Little Red Riding Hood myth regarding their villainous nature. You see one, you shoot it. But not on a night on his Montana…

The guiña, a small wildcat, has been moved to least concern on the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species. Found only in Chile and Argentina, this small cat was previously listed as vulnerable. But the threat downgrade isn’t a sign of conservation success, researchers say.

IUCN downgrades guiña threat status, prompting conservation warning

The guiña, a small cat species found only in Chile and northern Argentina, has just been reclassified as of least concern by the IUCN. Until recently it was listed as vulnerable to extinction.…

Last month I attended the conference of the German Society for Mammalogy in Siena, Italy and presented my study on hormonal and morphological changes in male cheetahs that become territorial 🐆 Thanks for having me!

By studying the vocalizations of primates, birds and whales, researchers have spotted features of animal communication once thought unique to human language. To probe deeper, some researchers are turning to AI to explore whether we can infer meaning from such communications.

AI is helping to decode animals’ speech. Will it also let us talk with them?

The complexity of vocal communication in some primates, whales and birds might approach that of human language.
