The world is urbanising rapidly, and it is predicted that by 2050, 66% of the global human
population will be living in urban areas. Urbanisation is characterised by land-use changes …

Urbanization drives changes in acoustic communication systems in some animal species.
Noise and light pollution are among the main urban factors known to disrupt the timing and …

Biodiversity is threatened by the growth of urban areas. However, it is still poorly understood
how animals can cope with and adapt to these rapid and dramatic transformations of natural …

The bird dawn chorus has fascinated humans since ancient times, but still today numerous
questions remain unclear. This chapter will explore this puzzling phenomenon, a communal …

Simple Summary Identifying vocalisations of given species from passive acoustic recordings
is a common step in bioacoustics. While manual labelling and identification are widespread …

The impacts of noise pollution on birdsong have been extensively investigated but potential
long-term effects are neglected. Near airports, where noise levels are particularly high, birds …

This perspective paper explores the concept of multispecies design in architecture, focusing
on the building scale. Historically, architects have prioritized human needs, neglecting …

Details in birdsong parameters convey information about fitness, quality and motivational
state of the signaller. Perception of these song details may affect decision making of …

The ubiquitous anthropogenic low‐frequency noise impedes communication by masking
animal signals. To overcome this communication barrier, animals may increase the …

Context One mainstay of soundscape ecology is to understand acoustic pattern changes, in
particular the relative balance between biophony (biotic sounds), geophony (abiotic …
