Description The calls of adult geese will be recorded on a regular basis to measure the social and ecological context of call types and cues to individuality in call characteristics. You will learn how to record, label, and archive calls and analyse call structure. The particular calls we are interested in include contact calls, recruitment calls, departure calls, and alarm calls.
