Biodiversity, a term now widely employed in science, policy, and wider society, has a
burgeoning associated literature. We synthesize aspects of this literature, focusing on …

Global increases in environmental noise levels–arising from expansion of human
populations, transportation networks, and resource extraction–have catalysed a recent …

Roads fragment landscapes and trigger human colonization and degradation of
ecosystems, to the detriment of biodiversity and ecosystem functions. The planet's remaining …

Anthropogenic noise threatens ecological systems, including the cultural and biodiversity
resources in protected areas. Using continental-scale sound models, we found that …

Human activities have caused a near-ubiquitous and evolutionarily-unprecedented increase
in environmental sound levels and artificial night lighting. These stimuli reorganize …

Audio-visual interactions play a significant role when humans perceive the environment. In
this review paper, it is analysed how visible vegetation can be used to mitigate negative …

Urban green infrastructure, GI (eg, parks, gardens, green roofs) are potentially important
biodiversity habitats, however their full ecological capacity is poorly understood, in part due …

Decades of research demonstrate that roads impact wildlife and suggest traffic noise as a
primary cause of population declines near roads. We created a “phantom road” using an …

The development and presence of roads can reduce landscape permeability, lead to habitat
loss, and increase habitat fragmentation. It is these fundamental changes in landscape …

Anthropogenic noise is a recognized global pollutant, affecting a wide range of nonhuman
animals. However, most research considers only whether noise pollution has an impact …
