This lab is damn serious about understanding the ecophysiology of marine mammals π³π¬ π¦ and bats π¦ π§π»ββοΈ- mainly through sound πenergeticsβ‘οΈ and curiosity πβ¨!
Lead by Prof Peter T Madsen π₯· @AU.dk
πππ¦we are the group behind Prof. Peter T. Madsen at the #Bioacoustics Lab @au.dk .
We eavesdrop π§π€« on oceans π and night skies π - turning sound into science to understand & protect #marinemammals π¬π¦ and #bats π¦ π§π»ββοΈ.
Join us for insights from the secret lives of #bioacousticians.

When you study #bioacoustics and #bats, there is always an appropriate Halloween outing!
This year, we went to the MΓΈnsted limestone mine, a 60-km-long man-made cave system and THE place to be for winter hibernation (9000 bats surely can't be wrong!).
Researchers from our lab incl. Leonie Baier & @laurastidsholt.bsky.social discovered that the fringe-lipped bats of Panama hunt for prey near their own body size - similar to large cats!

Where am I going?
@bioacousticsau.bsky.social @marinemammalsau.bsky.social
β¬οΈdeployed 8 hydrophone π§ stations with @innovasea.com releases and
β¬οΈrecovered 2 after 9 months!
There #bioacoustics PhD project investigates #shippingnoise and impacts on porpoises π¬.
Noise of high-speed vessels π€ impairs the #biosonar ability of #harbourporpoises π¬ - making it more difficult for them to
π€― sense surroundings,
π§ navigate and
π hunt prey
within several hundred meters.
π₯³Huge contribution to understanding masking effects!

Iβve worked on bycatch mitigation and behavior in harbour porpoises, and humpback whale photo-ID in Greenland. π³βοΈ #bioacoustics #arctic
- The equipment is deployed βποΈ,
- then, stays out at sea for monthsππ,
- then, we recover it using acoustic releases ββ¨,
- and analyse it back home π₯οΈπ.
#appliedbioacoustics
With the gear safely back, we can now look (& listenπ§π₯οΈ) for #porpoise π¬ vocalisations to learn more about how they move around the wind turbines.
Some of us where out in the North Sea this weekend π #justhangingaround bioacousticians

And we are for sure listening and tagging along π§π€«π
