Anthropogenic noise decreases signal active space, or the area over which male bird song
can be detected in the environment. For territorial males, noise may make it more difficult to …

Noise produced from a variety of human activities can affect the physiology and behaviour of
individual animals, but whether noise disrupts the social behaviour of animals is largely …

The reasons why animal populations decline in response to anthropogenic noise are still
poorly understood. To understand how populations are affected by noise, we must …

Noise pollution can mask or distort bird songs, which can inhibit mating success, predator
detection, and parental response to begging calls. We examined the impact of road …

Although the effects of anthropogenic noise on animal communication have been studied
widely, most research on the effect of noise in communication has focused on signals in a …

Traffic noise is on the rise worldwide. Birds have been reported to decrease in number and
diversity near highways. This could be indirectly caused by traffic if birds avoid overall …

While visual forms of vigilance behavior and their relationship with predation risk have been
broadly examined, animals also employ other vigilance modalities such as auditory …

Noise pollution is pervasive across every ecosystem on Earth. Although decades of
research have documented a variety of negative impacts of noise to organisms, key gaps …

Many avian species have long been exposed to loud natural sounds such as streams,
waterfalls, and wind. However, anthropogenic noise pollution is a relatively recent …

Throughout the world, birds represent the primary type of wildlife that people experience on
a daily basis. However, a growing body of evidence suggests that alterations to the acoustic …
