💁🏻‍♀️ TIL: 🐕🗣️ In #Budapest, researchers train #dogs to bark on cue, to study whether domestication shaped vocal #learning and its ties to #speech #evolution.

Embedded in the EU-funded #K9VocLearn project, the work links to the self-#domestication hypothesis and could inform #tools that someday read dog emotion from their #sounds. A citizen #science arm invites dog owners worldwide to contribute recordings.

Since it remains unclear whether my current #PostDoc contract will be prolonged in January, I am starting to look for a new #AcademicJob!

My expertise are #ecology, #ethology, #AnimalBehavior, with a focus on #olfaction in #mammals.
I had a stint in #NeuroEthology, but that wasn't quite my cup of tea, and I am currently working in #AnimalWelfare for husbandry animals (think cows, pigs etc).
I have done field work (wild rodents), lab work (very controlled behavioral assays), and pure data analysis.
I do everything in #rstats, so my standard analysis tools are GLM/GLMM, but I'm currently learning how to properly use Generalized Additive Models, as they seem like the natural next step.
I've also dabbled in #python in order to work with #DeepLabCut and #moseq, so the last few years I spent mostly with #ComputerVision, #DeepLearning, and extracting data from videos.
As that requires heavy GPU calculations, I've done most on my work on institutional and/or national #HPC, and then crunched the masses of resulting data in #rstats

I'm looking for a job in the #EU, preferably anywhere north of Germany, but let's be honest, I'll go wherever there is a job.

My website is a bit outdated, but https://tsievert.com/

Please boost for visibility!

"Ethology" referring to the study of animal behaviour is about a century old and was (somewhat) popularized through the work of Niko Tinbergen and Konrad Lorenz, which is where I first saw it.

But it never quite caught on. Even now, as de Waal writes, spell-checkers "regularly change it to ethnology, etiology, or even theology".

A fascinating story of an orangutang cryptologist tiger team performing various replay attacks on orangutang Alice and Eveing what Alice then had to say to Bob.

Had a blast teaching the "Animals in Motion" course last week as part of @neuroinformatics Open Software Week!

All course materials—including hands-on coding exercises—are freely available as an online book:
🔗 https://animals-in-motion.neuroinformatics.dev/latest/

This should be a useful resource for anyone interested in using free, open-source tools to track animal motion from video and extract quantitative descriptions of behaviour from the resulting data.

Thanks to @SoftwareSaved and @SWC_Neuro for the support.

#neuroscience #ethology #neuroethology #opensource #openscience

As part of this week-long event, I will be hosting a 2-day “Animals in Motion” workshop in London, with the generous support of @SoftwareSaved.

It’s for anyone who wants to get hands-on experience with using open-source software to track animals from video footage and analyse their motion.

Attendance is free of charge, but spots are limited. A small number of travel stipends are available. More info at https://neuroinformatics.dev/open-software-week/

movement—our free, open-source Python package for analysing animal motion—just got an upgrade (v0.0.21) and it’s first blogpost. Good time to check it out.

Ecology of fear (Landscape ecology 🏞️)

The ecology of fear is a conceptual framework describing the psychological impact that predator-induced stress experienced by animals has on populations and ecosystems. Within ecology, the impact of predators has been traditionally viewed as limited to the animals that they directly kill, while the ecology of fear advances ...
