ASSAB 2020 was a success with many vibrant scientific talks by talented researchers. Our research on the vocal signatures of the titipounamu from Aotearoa (New Zealand) received the ASSAB 2020 first speed talk prize. Thank you very much for selecting my talk!
The titipounamu vocal behavior and vocal repertoire are not well documented. Their feeding calls are high-pitched between 9-13 kHz, and our research showed that individuals have unique feeding call signatures. They also seem to share unique group nest calls; this novel and intriguing behaviour opens new perspectives on the vocal behavior of Titipounamu.
