- Reposted by Chiara ZulbertiOur final session focused again on methodologies 🧩 — with exciting applications from form-based approaches to assess chimpanzee gestures to facial action coding in rabbits 🐒🐇 @chiarazulberti.bsky.social #gradmeet25

- Reposted by Chiara Zulberti📢 Our new paper is out in @methodsinecoevol.bsky.social! A step toward more comparable approaches in bioacoustics! We tested how different acoustic feature extraction and classification methods affect caller ID classification accuracy. Read about it here: 🔗 shorturl.at/F31Pb

- Reposted by Chiara ZulbertiOur (@maelmleroux.bsky.social et al.) paper out today in #RSOS: we tested the ability of bonobos to process 'non-adjacent dependencies'. Surprisingly, unlike our prior work on chimps and marmosets, we found no evidence that they did so... royalsocietypublishing.org/doi/10.1098/...
- Reposted by Chiara Zulberti🚨New in @science.org🚨 With Simon Townsend (@nccrlanguage.bsky.social) and Martin Surbeck, we have investigated whether wild bonobos can combine calls in complex combinations, similar to how humans combine words into sentences 🧪 www.science.org/doi/10.1126/... #ScienceResearch #AnimalCommunication
