Nora is looking into dominance encoding in ring-tailed lemurs for her Bachelor's thesis. She is conducting playback experiments to determine whether there is an effect of dominance rank on lemur vocal response.

Aishwarya is joining the team for her lab rotation, digging into social networks of ring-tailed lemurs. She’ll be mapping out lemur social groups to determine how individual relationships affect group dynamics and behaviour.

📢 Our new paper is out in @methodsinecoevol.bsky.social!
A step toward more comparable approaches in bioacoustics! We tested how different acoustic feature extraction and classification methods affect caller ID classification accuracy.
