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 …

Trade-offs lie at the heart of behavioral ecology, with our ultimate understanding of many
behaviors reliant on an assessment of both fitness benefits and costs. However, the rapidly …

In noisy conditions, several avian species modulate their songs in amplitude and in the
temporal or frequency domains, presumably to improve communication. Most studies on …

Signal plasticity is considered an important step in the evolution of animal communication. In
acoustic communication, signal transmission is often constrained by background noise. One …

Artificial light at night (ALAN) and noise pollution are two important stressors associated with
urbanisation that can have a profound impact on animal behaviour and physiology …

[EN] Urban great tits (Parus major) sing with a higher minimum frequency than their forest
conspecifics. Cultural processes may account at least in part for the song divergence in city …

In an increasingly urbanized world, biodiversity, and more specifically birdlife located in
urbanized ecosystems, faces several threats. Among these, noise pollution has proven to be …

Eens et al.(1) question (i) whether our data are sufficient to state that low-frequency songs
are sexually selected and (ii) whether anthropogenic noise really affects male–female …
