Historically marginalized student representation drastically drops from undergrad to grad school.
Are underrepresented students unqualified? Or are grad school admissions unnecessarily confusing, costly, & gatekeeping?

How do male harbor seals learn their breeding songs? Why do pups show vocal plasticity at a few weeks of age? And why are harbor seals vocal production learners? @AndreaRavignani @MPI_NL

5/5) As always, the underlying data and code are available at @OSFramework: osf.io/jnpqh/. This work was done at @ComBioacoustics @MPI_NL and the illustrations are by the very talented @alinevjoustra.

4/5) Not sure where to start? Our decision tree can help users determine which level of reporting is most suitable for their specific situation. With more widespread and consistent reporting, big-picture rhythm questions will be within reach.

2/5) Framework levels fall into 2 categories—metric reporting and data sharing—and are generally quite straightforward. This is intentional! Many acoustics studies, even those not focused on rhythm, are just a few small steps away from contributing to comparative rhythm research.

1/5) I would call this one a labor of love but it was mostly just love… new Perspective out in @MethodsEcolEvol with @AndreaRavignani and @LaraBurchardt! We introduce an eight-level reporting framework for research on acoustic rhythms. Read the paper at: besjournals.onlinelibrary.wi…

Yesterday we hosted Jelle van der Werff,
from the @ComBioacoustics at the @MPI_NL.
He gave an overview of his research with @AndreaRavignani and introduced a new Python package: thebeat.
