During a conference: the researchers of the ENES team (UJM /Neuro-PSI-CNRS/Paris-Sud) will share with you their discoveries on animal communication and bioacoustics: the language of the great apes, counting the snow partridge using acoustic tools, the sound fights of sea elephants...

The crocodile wanders, the cricket cracks, the hyena laughs, the zinzinule tit... many animals communicate by sounds, but what do they say to each other? Through recordings and experiments, sometimes conducted in some of the most remote places on our planet, researchers at the ENES laboratory explore the sound signals of wild animals. By analyzing the information conveyed by these vocalizations, ENES research highlights the complexity of animal acoustic communications, and provides new insights into the origin of our own language. During this afternoon's conference, the public will be able to explore the diversity of these sound worlds, from fish to bonobos, crocodiles, birds, elephant seals....
