The aquatic tympanic ear: convergent adaptations for underwater hearing in three tetrapods

, 2016
All groups of tetrapods have members that adopt aquatic lifestyles with physiological adaptations also of their auditory system. Auditory sensitivity is affected by the different characteristic impedances in air and water caused by the differences in ...

Assessing the Underwater Impact of Aerodynamic Noise From Offshore Wind Turbines

Wind Energy, Volume 29, Issue 7, July 2026.
ABSTRACT The growing demand for offshore wind energy has led to a significant increase in wind turbine size and to the development of large‐scale wind farms, often comprising 100–150 turbines. However, the environmental impact of underwater noise emissions remains largely unaddressed.

Characteristics of the Operational Noise from Full Scale Wave Energy Converters in the Lysekil Project: Estimation of Potential Environmental Impacts

Energies, 2013
Wave energy conversion is a clean electric power production technology. During operation there are no emissions in the form of harmful gases. However there are unsolved issues considering environmental impacts such as: electromagnetism; the artificial ...

Quantifying Southern Sea Otter (Enhydra lutris nereis) Reactions to a Quadcopter Drone in Central California

Marine Mammal Science, Volume 42, Issue 3, July 2026.
ABSTRACT Drones are useful for wildlife research and management, but they can cause disturbance and harassment to wildlife. Sea otters (Enhydra lutris) are candidates for drone‐based observation and monitoring but are vulnerable to disturbance. No studies have evaluated drone effects on sea otter behavior, but based on prior disturbance studies, we ...

Killer Whales in the Central Tropical Pacific: Occurrence, Resightings, Morphology, and Acoustics

Marine Mammal Science, Volume 42, Issue 3, July 2026.
ABSTRACT Compared to their well‐studied coastal temperate counterparts, killer whales (Orcinus orca) in tropical‐subtropical and oceanic areas are under‐documented. We used sighting, photo‐identification, and acoustic data of killer whales in the central tropical Pacific (CTP), collected from multiple platforms between 2002 and 2023, to assess their ...

Underwater Endoscopic Repair of Superior Canal Dehiscence

, 2020
: Superior canal dehiscence (SCD) is a bony defect of the superior semicircular canal (SCC). Patients with SCD Syndrome (SCDS) may experience symptoms such as aural fullness, pulsatile tinnitus, hyperacusis, autophony, or pressure or noise-induced ...

Harbor Porpoise and Beluga Whale Habitat Use in the Saguenay‐St. Lawrence Marine Park (Canada) Revealed by a Combination of Visual and Acoustic Survey

Marine Mammal Science, Volume 42, Issue 3, July 2026.
ABSTRACT Studying habitat use of cetaceans that spend most of their lives underwater poses challenges, prompting the use of complementary methods. Non‐invasive methods, land‐based surveys (LBS) and passive acoustic monitoring (PAM), were used to characterize occurrence patterns of beluga whales, harbor porpoises, and vessels in the Saguenay–St ...

Fish responses to underwater sounds depend on auditory adaptations: An experimental test of the effect of motorboat sounds on the fish community of a large fluvial lake

Ecology and Evolution
Freshwater fishes exhibit a wide range of auditory adaptations and capabilities, which are assumed to help them navigate their environment, avoid predators, and find potential mates.

Workshop on the Current Status and Future of Underwater Hearing Research [PDF]

, 2013
Abstract : An assessment of the current state of research on marine mammal is needed in order to evaluate the contributions of current research programs to meeting data gaps, the return on investment of current programs, and the ability to meet outstanding data needs given the current state of technology and access to marine mammals.
