Cognition as a neglected mediator of responses to anthropogenic noise

Global Change Biology, 2023
Anthropogenic noise is an increasingly pervasive global disturbance factor, with diverse biological effects. Yet, most studies have focused on population mean responses to noise pollution, leaving sources of among-individual differences in responses poorly understood. Blackburn et al.

How anthropogenic noise affects foraging

Global Change Biology, 2015
AbstractThe influence of human activity on the biosphere is increasing. While direct damage (e.g. habitat destruction) is relatively well understood, many activities affect wildlife in less apparent ways. Here, we investigate how anthropogenic noise impairs foraging, which has direct consequences for animal survival and reproductive success.

Birds and Anthropogenic Noise: Are Urban Songs Adaptive?

The American Naturalist, 2010
In cities with intense low-frequency traffic noise, birds have been observed to sing louder and at a higher pitch. Several studies argue that higher song pitch is an adaptation to reduce masking from noise, and it has even been suggested that the song divergence between urban and nonurban songs might lead to reproductive isolation.

Anthropogenic Noise and Conservation

2013
Anthropogenic noise is a common but evolutionarily recent influence on communicating animals and evidence is accumulating of its adverse impacts on human health, therefore it has potential relevance to conservation. However, demonstrating that this potential is realised is not straightforward.

Pinniped hearing and anthropogenic noise

The Journal of the Acoustical Society of America, 2001
Our behavioral studies of pinniped auditory processing, including amphibious hearing, auditory masking, and temporary threshold shift (TTS), have provided comparative data on hearing and the potential effects of anthropogenic noise for three pinniped species. Differences for one harbor seal between aerial thresholds measured using headphones in a noisy

Anthropogenic Noise and Physiological Stress in Wildlife

2016
The ecological impacts of increasing levels of anthropogenic noise in marine and freshwater systems are of growing public interest. Recent emphasis on the physiological approaches to identifying the impacts of noise has led to increased recognition that anthropogenic noise is an environmental stressor.

Responses of cetaceans to anthropogenic noise

Mammal Review, 2007
ABSTRACTSince the last thorough review of the effects of anthropogenic noise on cetaceans in 1995, a substantial number of research reports has been published and our ability to document response(s), or the lack thereof, has improved. While rigorous measurement of responses remains important, there is an increased need to interpret observed actions in ...

Birdsong and anthropogenic noise: implications and applications for conservation

Molecular Ecology, 2007
AbstractThe dramatic increase in human activities all over the world has caused, on an evolutionary time scale, a sudden rise in especially low‐pitched noise levels. Ambient noise may be detrimental to birds through direct stress, masking of predator arrival or associated alarm calls, and by interference of acoustic signals in general.

Life history consequences of developing in anthropogenic noise

Global Change Biology, 2019
AbstractWhen environments change rapidly, adaptive phenotypic plasticity can ameliorate negative effects of environmental change on survival and reproduction. Recent evidence suggests, however, that plastic responses to human‐induced environmental change are often maladaptive or insufficient to overcome novel selection pressures. Anthropogenic noise is

Is anthropogenic ambient noise in the ocean increasing?

The Journal of the Acoustical Society of America, 2002
It is commonly accepted that the ocean’s ambient noise levels are rising due to increased human activities in coastal and offshore areas. It has been estimated that low-frequency noise levels increased more than 10 dB in many parts of the world between 1950 and 1975. [Ross, Acoustics Bulletin, Jan/Feb (1993)].
