🚨 New paper alert! 🐧🎧 African Penguin vocal activity can be used to estimate local nest density, offering a non-invasive way to complement monitoring. With the species Critically Endangered, scalable monitoring matters more than ever! 📄 Check out the full study here: doi.org/10.1016/j.ec...

A new #ScienceAdvances study finds the statistical properties of birdsong are similar to those of human language and whale song. Learn more: scim.ag/4wIYllH

Do animals contribute equally to group cohesion? And what can that mean for collective movement decisions? At #ISBE2026 Turin, I’ll present how high-resolution GPS data and movement dynamics can reveal the social organization in vulturine guineafowl. Room Berlino, 13:15, or let’s chat over lunch!

Oo oo, ha ha: why humans and great apes giggle alike when tickled

Penguins tended to choose the object that matched the expected association: large after low-pitched sounds, and small after high-pitched sounds! This suggests that they can use sound to guide visual choices, linking what they hear with what they see.

We tested whether African penguins show a similar sound-size association. After hearing either a low- or high-pitched sound, they were presented with two unfamiliar objects: one large and one small.

Think of how we imagine a giant with a low voice, and a tiny mouse with a high-pitched voice. This is not random: in nature, larger bodies often produce lower sounds, while smaller bodies often produce higher sounds.

Animals receive information through different senses: we see, hear, touch, smell. To make sense of the world, the brain combines these signals. Sometimes, it also links features from different senses in predictable ways, these are called cross-modal correspondences.

Can penguins link what they hear with what they see? Our new study shows that African penguins associate low-pitched sounds with large objects, and high-pitched sounds with small ones. Check it out here: doi.org/10.1111/nyas... 🧵👇🐧

Meet our Plenary Speaker Daniela Rößler Fueled by curiosity and a deep love of natural history Daniela discovered a REM-like sleep state in spiders and uses integrative field, lab and comparative approaches to investigate the function, ecology, and evolution of sleep across the spider tree of life.

Meet our plenary speaker Eva Ringler! Professor at the University of Bern, Eva Ringler and her research group are interested in understanding variation in animal behaviour from an ecological and evolutionary perspective focusing on Neotropical poison frogs and glassfrogs.

Hey Bluesky ppl! Me in a nutshell: From Sicily 🌋 to the University of Turin doing a PhD. My research is about using Passive Acoustic Monitoring to study the critically endangered African penguin (in South Africa -not Madagascar!). Passionate about bioacoustics, ethology, ML, photography & more!
