Females and males respond differently to calls impaired by noise in a tree frog
Ecology and Evolution, 2021 Both human and nonhuman animals communicating acoustically face the problem of noise interference, especially anurans during mating activities. Previous studies concentrated on the effect of continuous noise on signal recognition, but it is still unknown

Ecological restoration success is higher for natural regeneration than for active restoration in tropical forests [PDF]
, 2017 Is active restoration the best approach to achieve ecological restoration success (the return to a reference condition, that is, old-growth forest) when compared to natural regeneration in tropical forests?
