Hey bird postdocs!

Open now: a three-year PI position with @cornellbirds.bsky.social overseeing the longterm Hubbard Brook avian monitoring program. Looking for people w/ a strong research & field background

(FYI the due date is wrong—should be fixed soon)

Reach out w/ questions & please share!

New paper by our own Brooke Goodman comparing humans to Merlin Sound ID! Check it out 🔭

HEY!!!!

I’m going to be at AOS in St. Louis presenting my first first-author publication, comparing Merlin Sound ID to point counters in field surveys :) you should come see my talk in Methods & Models 3 on Thursday @ 10:30!

Integrating AI models into ecological research workflows: The case of terrestrial bioacoustics Data collected by autonomous sensors, including camera traps and acoustic recorders, have enormous potential to generate new scientific insights in ecology and related fields. Modern machine learn...

🚨 New paper alert! 🚨

Workshops & Training Opportunities - AOS 2025 Annual Meeting The workshops and training sessions at AOS 2025 offer opportunities both for hands-on learning exercises, where participants engage in a mix of lectures and activities, and for panel discussions on a ...

Bird #bioacoustics folks: @kitzeslab.bsky.social is hosting a hands-on "Advanced topics in bioacoustic monitoring" workshop at AOS 2025!

We'll make custom sound ID models, estimate birds' positions using acoustic localization, and discuss how to use sound ID results to make ecological insights.

Applications due this Friday, please repost! Feel free to message me with questions about this position, happy to chat :)

That would be awesome! Thanks again Daryll

Hi Daryll! Sounds great to me - thank you so much for asking 😄

Broadly, my scientific interests include habitat restoration, wildlife monitoring, and conservation technology. Please feel free to get in touch if you'd like to nerd out about anything ranging from bioacoustics to avian ecology and behavior to marine habitats.
🐦🌳🐟🦐🦪🔈🎤🎶

I've also previously worked with restored marine habitats as well. From coral reefs to oyster reefs, I've used bioacoustics to monitor fish and marine invertebrates like snapping shrimp. I also love taking underwater photos.

Hi everyone!

My name is Pat and I'm a PhD student in the @kitzeslab.bsky.social at the University of Pittsburgh. My research focuses on using #AudioMoths to monitor birds in restored forests across Pennsylvania. I also use machine learning classifiers to detect birdsong within my recordings.

This paper is a fantastic resource for researchers doing biodiversity monitoring, especially occupancy modeling. Check it out!

Congrats & thanks to @ben-r-goldstein.bsky.social, @kendallcalhoun.bsky.social, @drpheebs.bsky.social, and other authors :)

So happy to see this group on Bluesky! Thanks for making it.

Would you please add me to the list?
