We are looking for a PhD student with a desire to interweave different ways of knowing to understand boreal birds in the far north of Ontario! See the posting below for details. #bioacoustics

New(ish) paper; huge collaboration led by Aaron Skinner! Using GPS tracking we show breeding grounds drive body size variation more than wintering grounds! First evidence that nightjars follow Bergmann’s rule👇 onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/... #nightjars #birds #migration #ornithology

HawkEars will be of interest to practitioners studying acoustic wildlife in Canada and the northern United States, but the open-source code can also be used for developing classifiers for other regions. #bioacoustics 3/n

We used an embedding-based search to generate strong labels from weakly-labelled open-access training datasets. Our regional model outperformed existing global models, BirdNET, and Perch, by substantial margins, setting benchmarks for state-of-the-art classification performance. #bioacoustics 2/n

Are you interested in how species distribution models are used in land use planning? Come work us! This is going to be a super cool position understanding how model reliability affects model applications. Creative! Collaborative! Quantitative! Apply by Jan 10: ow.ly/gzPn50UsUQG
