We truly enjoyed our first #WilhelminenbergSeminarTalk of this semester, given by Szabolcs Számadó who explained to us that honest signals are explained by tradeoffs rather than costs or handicaps. 🦚 @fiwivienna.bsky.social

🎶 Do male courtship vocalizations always attract females? How repeatable and generalizable are playback studies? Maja Peng tackled this question, and her paper is out #USV @klivvvienna.bsky.social‬: ⤵️ www.nature.com/articles/s41...

The KLIVV was part of Open House Vienna and welcomed almost 600 people this past sunny Sunday at the Wilhelminenberg. We were blown away by your interest and questions and enjoyed showing you around the premises! 🚶‍♀️😊

The newest study from the @pennzalalab.bsky.social shows that female mice 🐭 are not attracted to male songs as assumed, which raises questions about the repeatability and generalizability of playback studies in house mice. Read all about it here: www.nature.com/articles/s41... 📷: Bettina Wernisch

It was our great pleasure to have Hannah Rowland @hannahmrowland.bsky.social as a guest to give a #WilhelminenbergSeminarTalk about "Chemically Mediated Interactions between Predators and Prey". 🐦🌿 @fiwivienna.bsky.social @liverpooluni.bsky.social

The @pennzalalab.bsky.social just published a review of the methods and tools for processing and analyzing #mousevocalizations, including #USVs, proposing new labels and a novel hierarchical classification for all types of 🐭 vocalizations. Check it out!▶️https://doi.org/10.1016/j.bbr.2026.116337

Another great #WilhelminenbergSeminarTalk was given by David Macdonald (University of Oxford @ox.ac.uk) with the title "The Badgers of Wytham Woods: two paradoxes, a state change, and a perplexing puzzle." 🦡🌲

We really enjoyed Adrian Garcia-Rodriguez #WilhelminenbergSemiarTalk about exploring the past, present and future of biodiversity from the intersection of ecology and evolution! @univie.ac.at @fiwivienna.bsky.social

Point of View: An easy way to improve lab meetings doi.org/10.7554/eLif... I'm really happy to see this one out @elife.bsky.social. Awesome Cara Glynn and I describe and reflect on a year-long, low-cost practice that transformed our group meetings. #researchculture #ECR #labmeetings

Point of View: An easy way to improve lab meetings

Sharing positive and negative experiences at lab meetings can make a career in science a little less hard, a little more pleasant, and a little more human.
