Congratulations to Valeria Stankova on submitting her Bachelor's thesis! 🎉 Valeria developed a machine learning approach to classify ring-tailed lemur behaviours using accelerometer and gyroscope data paired with video-based behavioural labels. Well done, Valeria!

Our new paper investigating the temporal dynamics of vocal accommodation in common marmosets is now published in Proceedings B! Read it here: royalsocietypublishing.org/rspb/article... @evocoggroup.bsky.social @nccrlanguage.bsky.social @primatenzentrum.bsky.social @royalsocietypublishing.org

Dynamic vocal learning in adult marmoset monkeys

Abstract. Socially mediated vocal plasticity, such as vocal accommodation, is an important mechanism for maintaining social cohesion and coordination in gr

Beautiful setting for the European Birdsong Meeting! One talk done, one still ahead. Excited to share my research, despite the fact that it’s neither about birds nor song!

Our new paper is out in @intjprimatol.bsky.social! Huge credit to Luca Wienand for an excellent bachelor's project on spatial and sociosexual behavior in common marmosets! Read all about it here: shorturl.at/R5eju @primatenzentrum.bsky.social @nccrlanguage.bsky.social @evocoggroup.bsky.social

We’ve just kicked off a new field season! Excited to be back spending time with these incredible animals! Stay tuned - lots more to come about the projects we’ve got lined up this year! @primatenzentrum.bsky.social

Looking forward to my trip to Vienna and sharing my work at the KLIVV! @primatenzentrum.bsky.social @klivvvienna.bsky.social

Next #WilhelminenbergSeminarTalk: 08.04. | 2:00 PM with Kaja Wierucka @kajawierucka.bsky.social @primatenzentrum.bsky.social 📍@klivvvienna.bsky.social , 1160 Wien or online 👩‍💻 → vetmeduni.ac.at/fiwi/seminar... 📢 Tip for students: The participation is recognised as an elective! (KV 128 804)

Meet the Team! Mehran & David just developed a new tool: The WildlifeTag Automator, a one-click-tool that streamlines the post-field workflow: simply input raw data from Vesper Tags (IMU, Audio, GPS), and the tool automatically decodes and organizes everything into analysis-ready formats!

Meet the Team! Konstantin is a master's student in Applied Computer Science. As part of a seminar on data science, he joined us to create a customizable mobile application for behavioral data collection. The application is built using Flutter and will be available to all researchers once completed.

Congratulations to Sophie who recently submitted her Master’s thesis! Sophie is a student from the Mathematics Department. She is interested in combining bioacoustics and deep learning, with a strong motivation to develop methods that are applicable to real-world biological research.

Meet the Team! Yunus, from the DNB program at @uni-goettingen.de, is doing his lab rotation with us! He is investigating the vocal repertoire of alpaca! 🦙

Conference time! I had the pleasure of presenting some of our latest work at the Göttingen Cognition Forum this week!

Meet the Team! Nora is looking into dominance encoding in ring-tailed lemurs for her Bachelor's thesis. She is conducting playback experiments to determine whether there is an effect of dominance rank on lemur vocal response. @primatenzentrum.bsky.social @uni-goettingen.de

Excited to be speaking at the @behaviour2025.bsky.social conference today! 🎤 I’ll be sharing our latest research on common marmoset food calls! 📍Kolkata, India @primatenzentrum.bsky.social @uzh-ch.bsky.social

Meet the Team! Aishwarya is joining the team for her lab rotation, digging into social networks of ring-tailed lemurs. She’ll be mapping out lemur social groups to determine how individual relationships affect group dynamics and behaviour. @primatenzentrum.bsky.social @uni-goettingen.de

Exciting news! My photo is featured as the cover image for this month’s issue of Methods in Ecology and Evolution! Read more about mammalian vocalisations here: doi.org/10.1111/2041...

🚨 Our August Issue is now out!🚨 This month's cover features a ring-tailed lemur producing a contact call to nearby conspecifics 🐒 🔊 Find out more and read the whole issue here 👇 buff.ly/4GCVwha

The field season is in full swing! We're out collecting behavioural data on ring-tailed lemurs and enjoying a few photogenic moments along the way! #fieldwork #primatology #lemurs #animalBehaviour @primatenzentrum.bsky.social @kirindy.bsky.social

📢 Our new paper is out in @methodsinecoevol.bsky.social! A step toward more comparable approaches in bioacoustics! We tested how different acoustic feature extraction and classification methods affect caller ID classification accuracy. Read about it here: 🔗 shorturl.at/F31Pb

Meet the Team! @shibli23.bsky.social is an Applied Computer Science MSc student. He's building a Flask-based tool to integrate and synchronize multi-source animal data — combining GPS📍, accelerometer📈, acoustic🎙️, and video📹 streams to help biologists process various animal behaviour data with ease!

Meet the Team! 🦙🎙️ Daniel Ariza Echeverri is a Bioinformatics student who joins us from @uni-goettingen.de for his MSc seminar project on vocal communication in alpacas! He’s developing a deep learning pipeline to automatically segment alpaca vocalizations from long-form audio recordings.

Looking forward to taking part in 'Book a Scientist'! Excited to share my research and chat about animal behaviour and communication!

📢 Fully-funded PhD opportunity! Explore the links between social & communication networks in ring-tailed lemurs! Exciting fieldwork, interdisciplinary team, and innovative technologies! Apply now and join @primatenzentrum.bsky.social & @unigoettingen.bsky.social for this cutting-edge research!
