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

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

This paper analyzes the relationship between GDP (gross domestic product), carbon dioxide
emissions from the consumption of energy, total renewable electricity consumption, dry …

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 …

Anthropogenic noise is a major pollutant in terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems. Since the
industrial revolution, human activities have become increasingly noisy, leading to both acute …

An alternative method is proposed for the assessment of the noise environment, on the basis
of a crowdsourcing approach. For this purpose, a smartphone application and a spatial data …

Ecologists have identified numerous keystone species, defined as organisms that have
outsized ecological impacts relative to their biomass. Here we identify human beings as a …

The popularity of bioacoustics for threatened species monitoring has surged. Large volumes
of acoustic data can be collected autonomously and remotely with minimal human effort. The …

Marine mammals face a large array of stressors, including loss of habitat, chemical and
noise pollution, and bycatch in fishing, which alone kills hundreds of thousands of marine …

Protected areas are critical locations worldwide for biodiversity preservation and offer
important opportunities for increasingly urbanized humans to experience nature. However …
