If you are in the Munich area in the beginning of July, you must go to this event! Highly recommended!!!
Especially because Lisa Livancic, a fantastic student and science communicator in our research group, is speaking about acoustic communication in 🐦s.
We are inviting applications of motivated pre-doctoral researchers to join an exciting, HFSP-funded projct. 🧪🐦 🧠

Exciting new research published in @currentbiology.bsky.social by our guest scientist and former group leader @jmrko.bsky.social. The study highlights insights from connectomics research in songbirds. „Tunneling neurons“ open new perspectives on how adult neural circuits may regenerate.
🥯🎤🐦 Does the song system in the songbird brain only care about song? How much does it interact with other areas? 🥯🎤🐦
Authors show society finches can be trained to modify song for food reward -> more proof the song system is not just a bad song detector!

Sunbirds don’t drink nectar like hummingbirds.
They use intralingual suction: the tongue acts like a straw, moving nectar via pressure differences rather than capillarity.
A clear case of biomechanical divergence despite ecological convergence.
