mhoeschele.bsky.social @mhoeschele.bsky.social · 28/07/2026Our book, "Nature Beats" is finally out. It talks all about how we can study rhythm across species and what that can tell us about the evolution of music. link.springer.com/book/10.1007... 07827
mhoeschele.bsky.social @mhoeschele.bsky.social · 29/06/2026What drives the attractiveness of different timbres? Both similarity with conspecific vocalization and universal markers of arousal may play a role. In other words: biological aspects of the voice, its structure, and how emotional sounds get produced. online.ucpress.edu/mp/article/d... 094

Their study suggests they may also understand and use proper names. 🔎 More details and publication link here: www.oeaw.ac.at/news/papagei...oeaw.ac.atPapageien nennen Namen – Studie zeigt überraschende SprachkompetenzEine Untersuchung von Schallforscher:innen der Österreichischen Akademie der Wissenschaften deutet darauf hin, dass Papageien in menschlicher Obhut nicht nur Wörter lernen, sondern auch Eigennamen ver... 042

mhoeschele.bsky.social @mhoeschele.bsky.social · 19/12/2025Looking for a Postdoc position and have a background in bioacoustics and animal cognition? Interested in whether other animals might have something akin to language? Join our team: www.oeaw.ac.at/en/oeaw-home... 01818
mhoeschele.bsky.social @mhoeschele.bsky.social · 17/12/2025Previously we showed that female budgerigars like to listen to rhythm 🎵 just like we humans do. In a new study, we showed that male budgerigar courtship song actually has similar rhythmic properties to human music. doi.org/10.1111/nyas... 063

Join our team to work on improving bioacoustic assessment and monitoring and/or help decode the complex animal vocalizations such as those from elephants and budgies. career.it-u.at/en/Job/73280 110
mhoeschele.bsky.social @mhoeschele.bsky.social · 24/10/2025I was happy to have been part of a big team science study for the first time. 🙂 Thanks ManyBirds team! 120
mhoeschele.bsky.social @mhoeschele.bsky.social · 07/03/2025Do other animals have "rhythm"? It turns out that answering this question is no simple task. Animals produce rhythms for a variety of mechanical reasons (e.g., walking speed, heart beats) without it necessarily implying an understanding of rhythmicity. See our new preprint: osf.io/preprints/os... 2146
