Fascinating topic! Do you want primary sources, or look up the existing research?
If you want primary sources, you could look at textbooks/manuals, magazines aimed at girls (Girls' World for example).
The National Diet Library has digitized archives, hope this helps!

Very cute and well behaved research assistant ❤️

I'd love to help you but as my profile picture shows I am a red wood ant kinda person, so no Camponotus pics from me!
If you are into Formica rufa let me know

Say ahhhh 😳

Gorgeous work, I feel like an aphid's butt just looking at these pics!
Which species did you base these sculptures from?

Picture of a scientific poster. It has a big drawing of a Red Wood ant singing in a microphone in the middle. The top part represents the ecological services that Red Wood ants perform, from seed transport to soil fertilization. On the right side of the singing ant is a drawing representing a recording booth. Two ants are being recorded in the booth. Below the booth drawing is a spectrogram of the sound that has been recorded, it looks like a rattle with several short pulses. The sound is called stridulation. On the left of the big singing ant, there is a drawing representing a playback setup. An ant is standing above a microphone that plays, its trajectory is being analyzed with a video recording setup. Below the playback drawing is a graph showing that Red Wood ants slow down when they hear sounds, particularly when they hear their own stridulation sounds. At the bottom of the poster are the take home messages. This ant species belonged to a family that did not stridulate according to the literature. We do not know how the stridulation is produced yet, neither what it is used for. This work is exploratory and raises more questions that it answers, but it could prove very useful for soil health monitoring.

Presented this poster at #ibac2025. Thank you to all the people who went to chat with me about #ant stridulation, all your compliments were so encouraging! I hope the people who missed the conference/poster session will have fun reading through the poster online.
Ask me anything about it!

They are so smart and curious; they probably want to know why us humans spend so much time watching our computer screens.
I also had a magpie follow me during fieldwork!
Very cute pic

Great poster, and very good talk we had together! It is so nice to find someone who understands your struggles :,)

Thanks for the tips! I want to share my go-to guide in scientific outreach: op.europa.eu/en/publicati.... Can be downloaded for free.
It makes similar points as you: making citizens little experts does not mean gaining their support. Listening is priority!

Increasingly I need to prepare scientists to deal with negative interactions with the public. Some tips:
• Listening is often more effective than correcting “I hadn’t heard that, tell me more”
• Anti-sci to pro-sci is a spectra: Anti➡️questioning➡️neutral➡️interested➡️supportive. Nudge 1 place only

Unfortunate, but thank you for the reply!

Sounds interesting! Have they published anything on the topic yet?

Is that an Australian magpie?

Feels intimidating ° . °

I have to thank @jcunow.bsky.social for his advice on the editing! Fun fact: the version of the slow motion footage you are seeing now is in fact sped up x2 so as not to be excruciatingly boring😅

#Ant nestmate recognition is no joke! That is the price to pay for them to live as #socialinsects. A little #slowmotion preening ant movie I made, with soundtrack I recorded as well!

Thanks, good to know there is always an option!

I would like to dig in the recordings and identify by the ear. Yay or nay?

Learning to detect an animal sound from five examples Automatic detection and classification of animal sounds has many applications in biodiversity monitoring and animal behavior. In the past twenty years…

Hello #bioacoustics 🔉sky, is there a journal that accepts manual sound id despite the reproducibility issues? The automatic sound detection does not work, because we have few instances of that sound.
Read this article www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti... but implementation is tricky.
