New paper: on the functional significance of female song in a temperate migratory species: nearly 40% of female great reed warblers sing early in incubation, likely to signal territory and reproductive status

I'm going to be participating in this! My very first Twitter conference! I'll be talking about my MSc research (w/ @DMennill) on Rufous-and-white Wrens, #FemaleSong, duetting, neighbours & more! Join me on Twitter on Jan. 27th @ 14:50 ET 🐦🐦🐦#AnimBehav2021

Listening to audio recordings of Rufous-and-white Wrens (a species with #FemaleSong & duetting!) from the #TropicalDryForests of @ACGuanacaste. Sadly, I won't be able to observe them in person this year. They'll be building nests soon in anticipation of the coming rainy season.

One super awesome benefit of all this #covid19 business is that I got to watch @lori_dargis defend her thesis! And she totally nailed it, despite having to present it online (to 70+ viewers!). Great talk on #FemaleSong in Canyon Wrens.

CONGRATS LORI!! 👏🥳🥂

Listen to an example of their song here:In this species, both ♀️&♂️ are skilled singers and will often engage in loosely coordinated duets. Female song has been largely ignored in behavioural ecology, my research will include #FemaleSong! #girlpower ✊

Similar complexity in female & male fairywren songs.
