🐘🔊 How do elephants take turns when they communicate? Our new paper compares three approaches to analysing temporal coordination in elephant vocalizations — and shows that how we measure timing can shape how we interpret Communication 📄 doi.org/10.3389/
Frontiers | Methodological frameworks influence the classification and interpretation of temporal coordination in African savanna elephant vocalizations
Acoustic communication plays a fundamental role in coordinating social behaviors. From primates to elephants, social species use vocalizations to maintain co...

A wonderful retreat with our PhD students in beautiful Payerbach-Reichenau 🌿✨ Historic villas, inspiring conversations, great ideas — and a Falstaff-rated coffee along the way. ☕️ Sometimes the best ideas come when you step away from the lab. 💡
New paper out: wild African elephants use intentional gestures to manage conflict. We documented 41 gesture types serving two clear goals (Move away; Stop behaviour) across Addo & Marakele, South Africa. Led by Vesta Eleuteri. Link: rdcu.be/87qLLG6DSs7a #Elephants #Ethology #AnimalCommunication
Plenary talk today at the conference of the Italian Society of Ethology, hosted at Bioparco di Roma, on elephant communication and conservation. 🐘
Our new open-access paper reports first insights into the breeding behaviour of endangered Northern Rockhopper penguins (Eudyptes moseleyi) at Vienna Zoo. Why it matters? Better monitoring, husbandry, and ex-situ conservation. Read: www.mdpi.com/2673-5636/7/... Daniel Zupanc Fotografie
Happy #WorldElephantDay! Protect. Research. Coexist. The world needs elephants.
🦁 Field update from Ongava Research Centre, Namibia! We found the lions, the playback experiments are working, and the team is all smiles. Playback experiments with large predators are among the toughest challenges in behavioural research—so we're thrilled it's all coming together!
Behaviour 2027 will be held in Vienna. Thrilled to support the scientific organizing committee…. Stay tuned for updates behaviour2027.eventsairsite.com
My team—PhD students Kathi Prager and Fabio Elleon—is off to Namibia to study auditory perception in lions. 🦁🇳🇦 Stay tuned for updates from the field!
🐘 Ever heard an elephant’s rumble across the savannah? What if we told you that’s only part of the story? 🎤 Prof. @angelastoeger.bsky.social explains how elephants use infrasound, low-frequency signals humans can’t hear, their secret language to stay connected across vast distances.

This is Chova, coming over to say hello! 🐘👋 We’ve known each other since 2010. He’s one of my favorite elephants, and I’ve recorded many of his vocalizations over the past 16 years. He’s become such a big boy!
Hi everyone, I’m Bela! I heard the humans from Austria are planning some new research, and I’m curious… What will it be about? Maybe listening to our rumbles again or learning more about how we elephants communicate. I’ll keep my ears open! 👂🐘 Stay tuned.”
Back in South Africa for fieldwork 🇿🇦✨ And what a welcome — greeted by this majestic male kudu
