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

Animals glean information about risk from their habitat. The acoustic environment is one
such source of information, and is an important, yet understudied ecological axis. Although …

Many species are currently experiencing anthropogenically driven environmental changes.
Among these changes, increasing noise levels are specifically a problem for species using …

Anthropogenic noise is an increasingly widespread pollutant, with a rapidly burgeoning
literature demonstrating impacts on humans and other animals. However, most studies have …

Providing outdoor recreational opportunities to people and protecting wildlife are dual goals
of many land managers. However, recreation is associated with negative effects on wildlife …

Anthropogenic noise is an evolutionarily novel and widespread pollutant in both terrestrial
and aquatic habitats. Despite increasing evidence that the additional noise generated by …

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 …

The way in which terrestrial organisms use the acoustic realm is fundamentally important
and shapes behavior, populations, and communities, but how background acoustics, or …

Increasing scientific evidence shows that anthropogenic noise can impact behavioral,
demographic, and community-level processes across a range of taxa—presenting a serious …

Acoustic noise is known to have a variety of detrimental effects on many animals, including
humans, but surprisingly little is known about its impacts on foraging behaviour, despite the …
