It’s fantastic to see this important paper out. It will underpin a lot more work in this area. We’ll done Luca!
So happy to see this paper finally published - huge congratulations to Luca for an epic effort and massive thanks to all collaborators @EllenGarland4 @JennyAllen13 @mikenoad! I think this is an important paper so here's an explainer 🧵 on the findings @_SMRU_ @SchoolofBiology

🚨New paper alert🚨
How can individual humpback whales stand out when everyone sings the same song? The answer is variability! Check out our paper, led by Luca Lamoni from his @_SMRU_ PhD.

Last call for volunteers
VOLUNTEERS REQUIRED FOR A BEHAVIOURAL RESPONSE STUDY ON HUMPBACK WHALES IN AUSTRALIA. We are seeking EOIs from volunteers for a six-week study on humpback whales from September 3 to October 15 this year (2023). For further details: facebook.com/CetaceanEcology…
This is an excellent opportunity for aspiring marine mammalogists to be involved in a great bit of science with @BecDunlop, myself and the rest of the team.

🐋 Research by #UQ's @BecDunlop shows male whales along Australia’s eastern seaboard are giving up singing to attract a mate, switching instead to fighting off the competition. @UQscience

Yes, it was a great season. Many thanks to all our wonderful 'volies', to Rob Slade for doing everything, Eric Kniest for the S2SS software that makes it all work, Dorian Houser for his enormous brain and @BecDunlop for her leadership and camaraderie. @UQscience @CEG_UQ
How good is a whale's hearing? We'll soon find out. @CEG_UQ 's project on humpback hearing was a success thanks to all the help from the volunteers, collaborators, and whales. @UQscience

And so it begins. Another epic field effort underway for our @CEG_UQ Hearing in Humpback project. @UQscience
