ABSTRACT As urban sound environments grow more complex, environmental monitoring increasingly demands not just sound‐level measurement but also source attribution. Current source recognition techniques can identify which sources are present in a mixture, but cannot measure each source's energy contribution, making accountability impossible.

Sexual selection for both diversity and repetition in birdsong
From fiddler crabs to humans, animals perform repetitive displays showing neuromotor skill and vigour. Consistent repetition of identical notes (vocal consistency) facilitates the assessment of neuromotor skills and is important in communication in birds.

The influence of motion quality on responses towards video playback stimuli
Visual motion, a critical cue in communication, can be manipulated and studied using video playback methods. A primary concern for the video playback researcher is the degree to which objects presented on video appear natural to the non-human subject ...

When individuals of the same population do not respond uniformly to the same situation, they might experience divergent fitness outcomes, such as different survival rates when facing danger.

ABSTRACT Interventions to reduce consumption of sugar‐sweetened beverages have been a popular topic of research in agricultural economics and food policy in recent years. While most empirical attention has focused on excise taxation and quasi‐experimental evaluation of implemented taxes, less is known about the magnitude of behavioural responses to ...

Emerald‐spotted Wood‐Dove songs show strong individual vocal signatures. Morphology explains little acoustic variation. Acoustic divergence increases with geographic distance between males, while local neighbor density does not influence vocal distinctiveness.

We investigated bird communities across a 1650‐km latitudinal gradient in China where there is a transition in which “community informant” species play important roles in providing public information about predation, from babblers in the south to tits in the north. We found that both babblers and tits jointly contribute vocalizations when they are both

In an urban‐adjacent forested area, we investigated the spatial and temporal distribution of the wild mammal community in relation to day‐to‐day fluctuations of human presence occurring between working days and weekends. We deployed 52 camera‐traps systematically within an EU Natura 2000 area located within the metropolitan area of Florence, central ...

Field playback experiments are a powerful way to tap into nonhuman primates' communication and cognition in their natural environment. From the animals' responses, researchers can infer how animals categorize and respond to different sounds, while controlling for other available information.

Movement Responses of Seals During Pile Driving for Offshore Wind Farm Construction
Despite rapid growth of the renewable energy industry to meet climate change targets, predictions of population‐level impacts on wildlife are currently hindered by a limited understanding of individual behavioural responses to these developments.
