My team & I developed early warning systems for biodiversity in southern Africa over the last 18 years, but didn’t fully develop the academic partnerships needed to fill in the blanks like this. Grim news. An important and sad mechanism of mortality/ population decline.

Bird brains help scientists to unveil the secrets of speech
Neural underpinnings of vocalization in zebra finches and budgerigars.
Neural recordings from parrots and songbirds reveal the ways in which vocal production is encoded in the brain, highlighting remarkable similarities between how parrots and humans learn to produce sounds.

New paper out! A study about the evolution of head scratching in birds. Birds scratch their heads in two ways: moving the leg under or over the wing (see pics below). We found body size and morphology explain some variation in scratching pattern. Also the ancestral state is not completely clear.

Nothing like a good meeting for starting to use social media. Having a lot of fun at #ASABwinter2023. Thank you SPE, the Portuguese Ethological Society, for funding my travels and accomodation, and thank you ASAB for such a wonderful meeting. ❤️
