slc26a12-A novel member of the slc26 family, is located in tandem with slc26a2 in coelacanths, amphibians, reptiles, and birds. [PDF]

open access: yesPhysiol Rep
Abstract Solute carrier family 26 (Slc26) is a family of anion exchangers with 11 members in mammals (named Slc26a1‐a11). Here, we identified a novel member of the slc26 family, slc26a12, located in tandem with slc26a2 in the genomes of several vertebrate lineages.

Learning to pause: Fidelity of and biases in the developmental acquisition of gaps in the communicative signals of a songbird

open access: yesDevelopmental Science, Volume 26, Issue 5, September 2023., 2023
Abstract The temporal organization of sounds used in social contexts can provide information about signal function and evoke varying responses in listeners (receivers). For example, music is a universal and learned human behavior that is characterized by different rhythms and tempos that can evoke disparate responses in listeners.

Shared mechanisms of auditory and non-auditory vocal learning in the songbird brain

open access: yeseLife, 2022

pykanto: A python library to accelerate research on wild bird song

open access: yesMethods in Ecology and Evolution, Volume 14, Issue 8, Page 1994-2002, August 2023., 2023
Abstract Studying the vocalisations of wild animals can be a challenge due to the limitations of traditional computational methods, which often are time‐consuming and lack reproducibility. Here, I present pykanto, a new software package that provides a set of tools to build, manage, and explore large sound databases.
