Our paper about the flow of nocturnal bird migration through Colombia is finally out today in #ProcB! Using weather radars operated by the #IDEAM, we found that low variability in wind underlies a pace of migration that is far more gradual than at temperate latitudes. #Ornithology 📡🪶🇨🇴 🧵1/10

New paper! Songbirds have long been thought to migrate independently, but our recent acoustic work finds that many migrants associate with other species in flight. Social information could play a larger role in songbird migration than currently understood. authors.elsevier.com/a/1kRi73QW8S....

New from me today in @technologyreview.com: for decades, scientists have dreamed of tracking migratory birds by listening in on their short, species-specific flight calls. Now, a new machine learning tool is unlocking a treasure trove of auditory data for the first time. 🐦🎙️ #naturewriting #scicomm

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.
