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

Anthropogenic noise is an important environmental stressor that is rapidly gaining attention
among biologists, resource managers, and policy makers. Here we review a substantial …

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

Conservation physiology proposes that measures of physiological stress (glucocorticoid
levels) can be used to assess the status and future fate of natural populations. Increases in …

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

Many authors have suggested that the negative effects of roads on animals are largely
owing to traffic noise. Although suggestive, most past studies of the effects of road noise on …

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 …

Technological advances in hydraulic fracturing and horizontal drilling have led to the
exploration and exploitation of shale oil and gas both nationally and internationally …

Society's growing demand for clean and abundant energy has repercussions for biodiversity
and human well-being. Directives for renewable energy, energy security, and technological …

Anthropogenic noise is now recognized as a major global pollutant. Rapidly burgeoning
research has identified impacts on individual behaviour and physiology through to …
