Our new paper describes song type sharing, matching, and collective themes in Adelaide's warbler dawn chorus communication networks. It's part of a special issue on animal communication networks. authors.elsevier.com/sd/article/S... #animalcommunication #communicationnetworks #birdsong

Hi! The ABS Latin American Affairs Committee developed a short survey to help tailor our activities based on the needs of the community. We would love to hear from you! Anyone interested in animal behavior is invited to complete it. English, Spanish, & Portuguese

Replication studies: a win-win for early-career training and behavioral ecology Replicating previous research builds confidence that results are real and meaningful. But close replications are rare due to limitations in resources and d

How do we know our research results are REAL? We replicate them! Most folks agree but lament on how hard it is to publish these replications.

My dearest gentle reader, lament no more! Delighted to unveil: Replication Studies, a new section of Behavioral Ecology 1/

How do birds use song to communicate about aggressive interactions? Many studies use playback to address this question, but playback studies may not be perfect simulations of real interactions. In this study, we ask how song structure and singing behaviour change around the time of natural fights.

On the use of double quantile regression and visual assessment to estimate performance constraints Double quantile regression (DQR) is a statistical method used to estimate constraints on animal performance, but it has some important limitations. We expl

Our new paper is a deep dive into the pros and cons of double quantile regression for estimating performance limits. academic.oup.com/beheco/artic...
