As humans increasingly utilize sensitive coastal areas, diving seabirds like the marbled murrelet Brachyramphus marmoratus face a unique combination of exposure to pervasive anthropogenic sound and acoustically mediated disturbances in terrestrial and ...

Stress and Auditory Responses of the Otophysan Fish, Cyprinella venusta, to Road Traffic Noise. [PDF]
Noise pollution from anthropogenic sources is an increasingly problematic challenge faced by many taxa, including fishes. Recent studies demonstrate that road traffic noise propagates effectively from bridge crossings into surrounding freshwater ...

Underwater Hearing Thresholds [PDF]
Underwater hearing thresholds were measured at frequencies of 250, 500, 1000, 2000, and 4000 cps on four Aqualung equipped divers with normal hearing in air. In the frequency range investigated, the minimum audible fields underwater are from 44 to 60 db greater than the minimum audible fields in air, and the shape of the threshold vs frequency curve is

Soft Tissue Conduction: Review, Mechanisms, and Implications
Soft tissue conduction (STC) is a recently explored mode of auditory stimulation, complementing air (AC) and bone (BC) conduction stimulation. STC can be defined as the hearing induced when vibratory stimuli reach skin and soft tissue sites not directly ...

An overview of research efforts to understand the effects of underwater sound on cetaceans
Cetaceans are aquatic mammals living in an environment that is more suited for hearing than vision. As such, their sensory systems largely utilize acoustic cues for navigation, communication, foraging, and predator avoidance.

Underwater hearing in the great cormorant (Phalacrocorax carbo sinensis): Methodological considerations [PDF]
The underwater hearing threshold of a great cormorant (Phalacrocroax carbo sinensis) was measured at 2 kHz using psychophysical methods. Previous in-air and underwater testing suggests that cormorants have rather poor in-air hearing compared to other birds of similar size (Johansen, 2016).

Modeling underwater hearing and sound localization in the frog Xenopus laevis [PDF]
Animals that are small compared to sound wavelengths face the challenge of localizing a sound source since the main cues to sound direction—interaural time differences (ITD) and interaural level differences (ILD)—both depend on size. Remarkably, the majority of terrestrial vertebrates possess internally coupled ears (ICE) with an air-filled cavity ...

Marine construction works often lead to temporary increases in vessel traffic, which, in addition to the construction activity itself, contribute to underwater ambient noise in the affected area and increase the risk of vessel collision for marine ...

Underwater vocalizations of Trachemys scripta elegans and their differences among sex–age groups
The aim of this study was to identify underwater vocalizations in red-eared turtles (Trachemys scripta elegans) and assess differences between sexes and ages.
