Ines Moran is a scientist, behavioural ecologist, and data analyst at Wildlife Bioacoustics Analytics, where she applies her expertise to solving complex problems in behavioural ecology and bioacoustics. Over the years, she has led multiple research projects from field data collection through to analysis and publication, combining technical skill with scientific insight.

​

Ines previously worked as a Museum Curator’s Assistant at the Beaty Biodiversity Museum, where she developed valuable curatorial and collection management skills. She also gained hands-on conservation experience as a Conservation Technician for the British Columbia Conservation Foundation, assisting a team of bioacousticians in monitoring several threatened species across Canada. In addition, Ines has several years of teaching experience, during which she shared her passion for science with audiences ranging from students to the general public.

​

Her current work focuses on animal communication, ecoacoustics, and conservation, but she remains eager to explore new types of datasets and analytical challenges. Her experience includes monitoring wild animal populations, conducting field experiments, analyzing animal vocalizations, and presenting scientific results to both specialized and general audiences.

​

Many fascinating questions about animal communication remain unanswered—and in her spare time, Ines enjoys discussing them with collaborators. She often reflects on questions such as:

* When and how did acoustic communication evolve?

* Why and how do vocal dialects form?

* How do animals learn their vocalizations?

* Why do animals produce different types of calls?

* How widespread is combinatorial communication in the animal kingdom?

* What new acoustic technologies could transform our understanding of animal communication?
