Underwater noise, whether of natural or anthropogenic origin, has the ability to interfere with
the way in which marine mammals receive acoustic signals (ie, for communication, social …

Ocean noise pollution is of special concern for cetaceans, as they are highly dependent on
sound as their principal sense. Sound travels very efficiently underwater, so the potential …

Killer whales (Orcinus orca) are one of the most cosmopolitan marine mammal species with
potential widespread exposure to anthropogenic noise impacts. Previous audiometric data …

A portable electrophysiological data collection system was used to assess hearing in a
captive population of bottlenose dolphins by recording auditory evoked potentials (AEPs) …

This document reviews the history, development, and use of auditory weighting functions for
noise impact assessment in humans and marine mammals. Advances from the modern era …

Noise levels in the ocean are increasing and are expected to affect marine mammals. To
examine the auditory effects of noise on odontocetes, a bottlenose dolphin (Tursiops …

The purpose of this study was to compare underwater behavioral and auditory evoked
potential (AEP) audiograms in a single captive adult loggerhead sea turtle (Caretta caretta) …

While hearing is the primary sensory modality for odontocetes, there are few data
addressing variation within a natural population. This work describes the hearing ranges (4 …

Marine renewable energy development raised concerns over the impact of underwater
noise. Here we assess the acoustic impacts of an operating tidal current turbine (Paimpol …

Simple Summary Marine mammal welfare research of professionally managed species has
primarily focused on enrichment, habitat usage, and activity, as well as the impacts of human …
