Interested in vocal communication, corvid cognition, and comparative neuroscience. Postdoc at University of Tübingen with 2 cats. Enjoys fermentation and mushroom foraging in free time.
🧵 Very proud our special collection on vocal communication in corvids in Animal Cognition (@springernature.com) is now fully published! 🐦 Huge thanks to all collaborators and contributors who made this possible! (1/15) link.springer.com/collections/...
Vocal communication in corvids
In the field of vocal communication, research has mostly focussed on birds because of their vocal learning capacity and non-human primates due to their ...

We are excited to announce that registration is open for the 2026 Neural Mechanisms of Acoustic Communication Gordon Research Conference. The preliminary program is now live: www.grc.org/neural-mecha... We invite everyone to apply! See you @ Sunday River, Maine, May 31-June 5, 2026.
Today's @tuda.bsky.social Cogsci Colloquium speaker is @daliao.bsky.social who will talk about the "Cognitive Building Blocks of Communication in Crows". For the full schedule, check out www.tu-darmstadt.de/cogsci/ccs_n...
New paper on precise tool use learning in carrion crows @currentbiology.bsky.social. We show that—like New Caledonian crows—expert carrion crows pay close attention to the working end of their tool, suggesting tool integration into their peripersonal space. 🧵 & vids! 👇 www.cell.com/current-biol...
Hey friends in bioacoustics & acoustic communication: I am (finally) sharing this post on the new version of @vocalpy.bsky.social I released after teaching a bootcamp with @tessarhinehart.bsky.social at the @nmac2024.bsky.social last year blog.vocalpy.org/posts/2025-0... #prattle 💬 #bioacoustics

Very happy to share the latest from my postdoc! 10 yrs of mouse social networks + 1.25 yrs of acoustic data ➡️ insight into vocalization & sociality in a wild population of your favorite lab model 🐁 paper: bit.ly/4n93yyD data: bit.ly/4lfFBEk code: bit.ly/4kNnMwx #bioacoustics #neuroskyence 1/8
Vocal communication in corvids: a systematic review. www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti.... In our new paper we review 130 papers and summarise empirical evidence for socioecological factors affecting vocal communication, as well as evidence for vocal learning in different corvid species.
Vocal communication in corvids: a systematic review
Vocal communication is broadly distributed in a wide range of nonhuman animal species and is hypothesized to play an important role in mate attraction…
