Effects of complex soundscapes on the occurrence of Anaxipha pallidula in isolated green spaces in Tokyo

Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.
Urban green spaces experience a mix of natural and anthropogenic noises, which could disrupt the vocal communication of several species. This study investigated how such complex soundscapes affect the occurrence of Anaxipha pallidula, which communicates through calls, focusing on both sound level and quality.
