📣 Congratulations to Anna Kruppa who just finished her MSc thesis 🥳 and presented her study on USVs and inbreeding status in wild house mice! 🎉
How do 🐭 respond to USVs 🎶? Brava Anna! 👏

So very rewarding teaching children about the ultrasonic songs of mice and seeing the kids’ (and their parents’ 😉) faces upon hearing them (which we made audible for human ears). Thanks to Maja Peng and Bettina Wernisch for their great teamwork! @klivvvienna.bsky.social

📣 Paper alert! Have you ever wondered what a ketogenic diet might do to unborn offspring? Here we show that pregnant healthy 🐭 on a ketogenic diet give birth to less females pups and that the male pups die earlier than controls.

Thank you #LorentzCenter for funding us!

📢 Six papers 🐭, one wedding and one baby later 👶… congratulations to Dr. Doris Nicolakis 🥳, who just gave a great talk 👏 and defended her PhD entitled “Adaptive functions of courtship signals in male house mice (Mus musculus musculus)” 🎵 🎉 Looking forward to new great discoveries with Doris!

When you arrive at work and it looks like this! 😃

📢 Teresa Klaus heroically classified >53000 USVs in wild🐭during courtship and mating. We found changes in their vocal composition, some USVs correlated with mating success, and there is evidence for vocal duetting! 🎶 @KLIVVWien @VetmeduniVienna🐭

🎉 What a great job Martina Zani! Her MS thesis talk on USV discrimination in wild 🐭 was excellent. Congratulations! 🥳 @KLIVVWien @VetmeduniVienna🐭
