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

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 …

On the occasion of the centenary of the discovery of the Lombard effect, we review the
literature on noise-dependent regulation of vocal amplitude in humans and other animals …

Many animal species communicate with their mates through acoustic signals, but this
communication seems to become a struggle in urbanized areas because of increasing …

When animals live in cities, they have to adjust their behaviour and life histories to novel
environments. Noise pollution puts a severe constraint on vocal communication by …

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

From evolutionary biologist Menno Schilthuizen, a book that will make you see yourself and
the world around you in an entirely new way* Carrion crows in the Japanese city of Sendai …

Birds use acoustic signals to mediate a number of crucial social interactions such as
territorial defence, mate attraction and predator avoidance. Thus, differences in signalling …

Many animal species are living in urban areas, where they encounter human‐altered
environmental conditions. Artificial light and traffic noise are two of the most prominent …

Anthropogenic noise is prevalent across the globe and can exclude birds from otherwise
suitable habitat and negatively influence fitness; however, the mechanisms responsible for …
