NEW PAPER 🐦🎵💬
The same type of ordering rule (high frequency calls followed by noisy broadband notes) is found in almost all living Paridae: very likely, this combination already existed in the common ancestor of tits and chickadees, 11 mya !

This Monday, we talked about birds, their calls, and so much more with my colleague Agnes, in a workshop open to families at the Invention Rooms (white city campus).

Pour les curieux, une étude à laquelle j'ai participé avec mes collègues en linguistique 🐝 :
Genuinely astonished at this decision. It makes no sense at all. My love and unwavering support go out to every trans person in the UK facing uncertainty, fear and exclusion as a result of this. As far as I can tell we just deliberately created an anomaly in law to satisfy transphobes. But it won't.
An evening’s thermal imaging with our visitors from MMU plus @ambresalis.bsky.social. We were lucky enough to spot a Beaver swimming towards us before it finally noticed us and slapped its tail on the water. We also spotted a Coypu browsing, plus huge numbers of bats hunting. @cbrassey.bsky.social

Animal Cognition - Due to their complex social systems and remarkable cognitive abilities, corvids are interesting candidates for large scale comparative research on the meaning of animal calls....
