The influence of vegetation and shape-related features in making parks more noise resistant [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
The aim of this paper is to assess the effect of vegetation-related parameters and shape-related features on noise levels in park areas. For the current research, eight case study parks of various sizes were identified in Antwerp and noise levels were ...

A narrative review of the impact of anthropogenic light and noise on owls

open access: yesIbis, Volume 168, Issue 1, Page 5-24, January 2026.
Today, owls are exposed to increasingly brightly lit nights and noisy environments because of human activities. To understand the impacts of artificial light at night (ALAN) and anthropogenic noise we performed an evidence synthesis. We searched four literature databases and Google Scholar and we collected 39 relevant articles (1945–2024) providing 125

Underwater Vocalization Behavior of Harbor Seals (Phoca vitulina)

open access: yesMarine Mammal Science, Volume 42, Issue 1, January 2026.
ABSTRACT Harbor seals (Phoca vitulina) are one of the most important apex‐predators in the Wadden Sea. However, baseline information on their distribution and behavior is still sparse and geographically restricted. Passive acoustic monitoring (PAM) of their underwater sounds can provide information about their fine‐scaled distribution and habitat use ...

Temporal Variability in Call Rates of Weddell (Leptonychotes weddellii) and Leopard (Hydrurga leptonyx) Seals Near Davis Station, East Antarctica

open access: yesMarine Mammal Science, Volume 42, Issue 1, January 2026.
ABSTRACT We investigated Weddell seal (Leptonychotes weddellii) and leopard seal (Hydrurga leptonyx) vocalizations using passive acoustic monitoring beneath landfast ice and open water, 5.6 km seaward from Davis Station, East Antarctica. Eight‐minute recordings were manually sampled at 1 h intervals over 24 h every 10 days from 24 July 2021 to 30 ...

A Comparison of Diving Behavior of Goose‐Beaked and Dense‐Beaked Whales From Tagging Studies in Multiple Ocean Basins

open access: yesMarine Mammal Science, Volume 42, Issue 1, January 2026.
ABSTRACT Studies of cetacean diving behavior in multiple locations in different ocean basins allow for an assessment of variability within and among populations. We examine foraging dive behaviors of goose‐beaked whales (Ziphius cavirostris) and dense‐beaked whales (Mesoplodon densirostris) using data from 132 tagged whales in seven locations in the ...

Visual Mental Imagery and Neural Dynamics of Sensory Substitution in the Blindfolded Subjects

open access: yesNeuroImage
Although one can recognize the environment by soundscape substituting vision to auditory signal, whether subjects could perceive the soundscape as visual or visual-like sensation has been questioned. In this study, we investigated hierarchical process to

From soundscape documentation to soundscape composition

open access: yes, 2012
The World Soundscape Project (WSP) was established as an educational and research group at Simon Fraser University during the early 1970s and documented soundscapes in Canada and Europe as part of an over-arching concern to draw attention to the importance of the sonic environment.

Passive Acoustic Monitoring and Mapping of Vessel Visitation at an Australian Fur Seal Breeding Colony

open access: yesMarine Mammal Science, Volume 42, Issue 1, January 2026.
ABSTRACT Marine vessel traffic is a significant contributor to anthropogenic noise pollution and a source of disturbance for many marine species. It is important to assess the impact of vessel visitation and the number of potential disturbance events at sensitive marine sites to ensure management strategies are adequate.
