Prey species have to balance their foraging and vigilance behaviour in order to maximize
nutritional and energetic intake while avoiding predation. Anthropogenic noise, a ubiquitous …

Anthropogenic noise is a global pollutant, and there is rapidly accumulating evidence of
impacts on a range of animal taxa [1, 2]. While many studies have considered how …

Over the last century, expanding urbanization has led to a strong increase in the levels of
background noise. This noise pollution has been shown to negatively affect wildlife (eg …

Many animals rely on the acoustic environment for functions spanning mate attraction,
navigation and predator and prey detection. Growing evidence focused on human-altered …

Background The effect of anthropogenic noise on terrestrial wildlife is a relatively new area
of study with broad ranging management implications. Noise has been identified as a …

The value of considering intraspecific variation in response to noise is well argued from a
behavioral perspective in this review paper—an issue that is also highly relevant for …

Understanding how organisms respond to any environment requires a full characterization
of how the environment varies over time and space. A rapidly growing literature on the …

Recent research suggests that anthropogenic noise can substantially alter animal behavior.
Although there are many sources of natural background noise, the relative influence of these …

Ambient noise can affect the availability of acoustic information to animals, altering both
foraging and vigilance behaviour. Using captive zebra finches Taeniopygia guttata, we …

Traffic noise is a prevalent and yet poorly understood anthropogenic disturbance associated
with reduced avian diversity, population densities and pairing and mating success. How …
