Saskia Cathrin Tyarks @saskiacathrin.bsky.social · 28/09/2026Such a nice bonus to the current Sensory Ecology PhD course at Lund University — getting to join a guest lecture in between the regular sessions last week. Right on theme for both the course and my own research interests 🐬 Thanks for a brilliant talk by Dr Adam Smith! 021
Saskia Cathrin Tyarks @saskiacathrin.bsky.social · 28/08/2026🐬Bottlenose dolphins have individually distinctive signature whistles, but extracting them from recordings is still a challenge. In my first PhD paper, we put four automated methods to the test, from how well they trace contours to how they hold up in noise🎶 Turns out: the gaps matter!〽️Paper below🧪🤖 141
