My latest paper is out! The tl;dr is that non-human animals can also use their vocalization to seek information! (: go check it out

Enough birdsong tweets, let's talk marmosets 🙊

Now in @NatureComms by @ThiagoTVarella (@LifeofBehavior lab), "Active sampling as an information seeking strategy in primate vocal interactions"

Are contact calls somehow like electric fish pulses?

If you're curious about NYC rats natural behavior tracking :)

a very talented journalist @stahlidarity spent a day with the team ( @e_mackevicius and @ralph_ep ) while we were in NYC tracking and observing NYC rats. She wrote a great piece detailing what we were doing and the aims of our research: hellgatenyc.com/rat-ride-along…

So excited about this project and can't wait to go back again. To more and more urban ecology in NYC.

Babies are communicating as soon as they are born, and these abilities are developing in the nine months before birth.

My detailed account of how this happens...
