BACKGROUND Sound is the sensory cue that travels farthest through the ocean and is used
by marine animals, ranging from invertebrates to great whales, to interpret and explore the …

Within the set of risk factors that compromise the conservation of marine biodiversity, one of
the least understood concerns is the noise produced by human operations at sea and from …

Anthropogenic (man-made) sound has the potential to harm marine biota. Increasing
concerns about these effects have led to regulation and mitigation, despite there being few …

Noise pollution is an anthropogenic stressor that is increasingly recognized for its negative
impact on the physiology, behavior and fitness of marine organisms. Driven by the recent …

There is an urgent need to understand how organisms respond to multiple, potentially
interacting drivers in today's world. The effects of the pollutants anthropogenic sound (pile …

The human population is increasingly reliant on the marine environment for food, trade,
tourism, transport, communication and other vital ecosystem services. These services …

This chapter describes the effects of noise on animals in terrestrial and aquatic habitats.
Potential adverse effects cover a range of behavioral changes and physiological responses …

Underwater noise pollution is an increasing threat to marine ecosystems. Marine animals
use sound in communication and orientation processes. The introduction of anthropogenic …

The sea anemone Calliactis parasitica, which is found in the East Atlantic (Portugal to
Senegal) and the Mediterranean Sea, forms a symbiotic relationship with the red hermit …

Here we provide an overview of work related to anthropogenically produced substrate-borne
vibrational noise. We review the marine and terrestrial vibrational noise literature base …
