Soundbites is a weekly (biweekly,\u00a0occasionally) feature of the coolest, newest bioacoustics, soundscape, and acoustic research, in bite-size form. Plus other cool stuff having to do with sound. Can you believe it’s already December?\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n

Okay, so, the holiday season is upon us, and I thought I would do something a little different (mostly because end-of-term has meant I am fed up with reading papers and would rather look at holiday stuff). Today I present to you: a holiday gift guide for your favorite bioacoustician.<\/p>\n

Species of interest cookie cutters:\u00a0<\/strong>who doesn’t love holiday cookies? Better yet, let’s make holiday cookies in the shapes of bioacoustically relevant species! You’ve got your suite of marine mammals: seals<\/a>, dolphins<\/a>, and whales<\/a>. Let’s throw in a bat<\/a>\u00a0for good measure. And of course, we can’t forget about my frogs<\/a>!\u00a0And let’s put a penguin<\/a> in there for Michelle.<\/p>\n

Really nice\u00a0noise-canceling headphones<\/a><\/strong>: because we listen to a lot of stuff.<\/p>\n

Xtratuf boots<\/strong><\/a>: land or sea, it doesn’t matter–a good pair of waterproof boots are necessary for any field season, anywhere.<\/p>\n

Acoustics-themed art<\/strong>: how about a print of a waveform<\/a> of something important to your bioacoustician of choice (like frog calls)? No? Well, you can always get a spectrogram poster<\/a> instead.<\/p>\n

But really, I think all the grad students in ORCAA\u00a0can all relate to the following comic:<\/p>\n
