Animal acoustic communication often takes the form of complex sequences, made up of
multiple distinct acoustic units. Apart from the well‐known example of birdsong, other …

The dramatic increase in human activities all over the world has caused, on an evolutionary
time scale, a sudden rise in especially low‐pitched noise levels. Ambient noise may be …

On the occasion of the centenary of the discovery of the Lombard effect, we review the
literature on noise-dependent regulation of vocal amplitude in humans and other animals …

Urbanization leads to homogenization of avian communities through local extinction of rare
bird species and increasing numbers of the same common urban bird species over large …

Worldwide urbanization and the ongoing rise of urban noise levels form a major threat to
living conditions in and around cities [1–4]. Urban environments typically homogenize …

Anthropogenic pollution is increasingly pervasive throughout all ecosystems worldwide. In
recent years, negative consequences on many taxa, such as birds, have been observed. We …

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 …

One potential contributor to the worldwide decline of bird populations is the increasing
prevalence of roads, which have several negative effects on birds and other vertebrates. We …

Acoustic signals are usually very effective in long-distance communication. However, in
many habitats animals suffer more and more from signal interference caused by traffic …
