Calling at the highway: The spatiotemporal constraint of road noise on Pacific chorus frog communication

Ecology and Evolution, 2017
Loss of acoustic habitat due to anthropogenic noise is a key environmental stressor for vocal amphibian species, a taxonomic group that is experiencing global population declines.

Nightlife in the city: drivers of the occurrence and vocal activity of a tropical owl

Avian Research, 2020
Background Cities differ from non-urban environments by the intensity, scale, and extent of anthropogenic pressures, which can drive the occurrence, physiology, and behavior of the organisms thriving in these settings. Traits as green cover often predict

The importance of invertebrates when considering the impacts of anthropogenic noise [PDF]

Proceedings of the Royal Society B: Biological Sciences, 2014
Anthropogenic noise is now recognized as a major global pollutant. Rapidly burgeoning research has identified impacts on individual behaviour and physiology through to community disruption. To date, however, there has been an almost exclusive focus on vertebrates.

Constraints on Acoustic Signaling Among Birds Breeding in Secondary Cavities: The Effects of Weather, Cavity Material, and Noise on Sound Propagation

, 2012
Increasing evidence suggests that anthropogenic noise from urbanization affects animal acoustic communication. We investigated whether the begging calls of nestling Eastern Bluebirds (Sialia sialis) varied along a disturbance gradient of ambient noise ...

Widespread spatial and temporal extent of anthropogenic noise across the northeastern Gulf of Mexico shelf ecosystem

Endangered Species Research, 2016
The Gulf of Mexico ecosystem represents the intersection between high marine biodiversity and extensive human use and impact. Anthropogenic marine activities are prominent in the Gulf, prompting concern regarding impacts of chronic elevated noise ...

Effects of Pile-driving Noise on the Behaviour of Marine Fish [PDF]

, 2010
Studies on the effects of offshore wind farm construction on marine life have so far focussed onbehavioural reactions in porpoises and seals. The effects on fish have only very recently come intothe focus of scientists, regulators and stakeholders.

Patterns of Song across Natural and Anthropogenic Soundscapes Suggest That White-Crowned Sparrows Minimize Acoustic Masking and Maximize Signal Content.

PLoS ONE, 2016
Soundscapes pose both evolutionarily recent and long-standing sources of selection on acoustic communication. We currently know more about the impact of evolutionarily recent human-generated noise on communication than we do about how natural sounds such

Cross-modal impacts of anthropogenic noise on information use [PDF]

Current Biology, 2016
Anthropogenic noise is a global pollutant, and there is rapidly accumulating evidence of impacts on a range of animal taxa [1,2]. While many studies have considered how additional noise may affect information provision and use, they have focused on the masking and consequent alteration of acoustic signals and cues; so-called unimodal effects [3]. Using

Chronic Noise Exposure has Context-dependent Effects on Nestling Stress Physiology in Tree Swallows (Tachycineta bicolor)

, 2020
Anthropogenic noise is increasing in intensity and scope, resulting in changes to acoustic landscapes and largely negative effects on a range of species.
