There is a global rise in anthropogenic noise and a growing awareness of its negative
effects on wildlife, but to date the consequences for wildlife diseases have received little …

Wind power accounted for 8% of global electricity generation in 2023 and is one of the
cheapest forms of low-carbon electricity. Although fully commercial, many challenges remain …

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

Decades of research demonstrate that roads impact wildlife and suggest traffic noise as a
primary cause of population declines near roads. We created a “phantom road” using an …

The recording and analysis of echolocation calls are fundamental methods used to study bat
distribution, ecology, and behavior. However, the goal of identifying bats in flight from their …

The influence of human activity on the biosphere is increasing. While direct damage (eg
habitat destruction) is relatively well understood, many activities affect wildlife in less …

Urbanisation is increasing globally at a rapid pace. Consequently, wild species face novel
environmental stressors associated with urban sprawl, such as artificial light at night and …

Human‐caused noise pollution dominates the soundscape of modern ecosystems, from
urban centres to national parks. Although wildlife can generally alter their communication to …

This chapter describes the effects of noise on animals in terrestrial and aquatic habitats.
Potential adverse effects cover a range of behavioral changes and physiological responses …

Predators frequently must detect and localize their prey in challenging environments. Noisy
environments have been prevalent across the evolutionary history of predator–prey …
