New preprint! 🪶

We analysed 60 years of data on 83,000+ great tits to show how extreme climate impacts on nestling growth and survival are stage-specific and context-dependent 🐣 🌍🔥❄️

Birdsong, brains & sunshine! More than 70 brilliant minds from across the globe flocked to Seewiesen to get inspired by cutting-edge research. From finches to singing mice, vocal research flew high at the European Birdsong Meeting hosted at our Institute.

In this fascinating paper by the Long lab, activity was recorded from the vocal production region of the budgerigar. These neurons form a map of phonetic features just like in humans. This, however, was not the case in the homologous region of the zebra finch 🧠! www.nature.com/articles/s41... 🦜🗣️

Using advanced brain-recording techniques, parrots were found to have a brain organization for vocal control similar to humans, making them an important model for studying speech and for developing po...

Why do some deer mice stick around to raise their young while others don’t?

New research shows that differences in brain cell types and gene expression may shape their wildly different parenting instincts.

Single-nuclei RNA-sequencing sheds new light on how two closely related species of deer behave differently when mating and caring for young.

Important study here from @katietschida.bsky.social et al
on the transition from neonatal isolation calls to social vocalization in lab mice

“juvenile mice begin producing social USVs earlier than previously reported, at ages P20-P24”

Our first look at midbrain PAG’s role in singing mouse vocal control. When near each other, these mice produce two divergent vocal modes. Same circuits for USVs and Songs—or different ones? Bets were made..some of us bought beers for others! Led by @xmikezheng20.bsky.social & Clifford Harpole. 👇🏽
