🦇 'Bats' are more than one species. They are an incredibly diverse group of mammals with over 1,400 species. There is a huge diversity of sizes, colours, nose shapes, ear shapes, diet, habitat and more! In the UK, there are 18 resident species. Learn more here: www.bats.org.uk/about-bats/w...

It matters not what people are born, but what they grow to be. Trans women will always be women. Trans men will always be men. In light of the bigoted ruling from the UK’s Supreme Court yesterday, we want to assure every trans person the fight will not stop. Because trans rights are human rights.

🦇👂🧠Our first bat paper is out! 🧠👂🦇 How do bats tell navigation from social calls? Led by the fearless Dr. Jenni Lawlor, we used 2P imaging to show that the auditory midbrain encodes categorical primitives. Check it out @natneuro.nature.com: rdcu.be/ehEgz

Do Large Language Models (LLMs) possess ecological knowledge? For example, can they do tasks such as: (1) predict the presence of species at a location (2) generate range maps (3) list critically endangered species (4) perform threat assessment (5) estimate species traits

Bats' vocalizations can reveal their personalities Bold, exploratory, and proactive individuals were more likely to produce social calls – and more agitated bats called even more! royalsocietypublishing.org/doi/10.1098/... Photo by Michael Stifter

Really cool to see our AI for bioacoustics work in the MIT Technology Review! BirdVox was a fantastic project that beyond posing a fascinating research problem, introduced me to the world of bird watching and deepened my appreciation of the natural world www.technologyreview.com/2024/12/18/1...

AI is changing how we study bird migration

After decades of frustration, machine-learning tools are unlocking a treasure trove of acoustic data for ecologists.
