Global expansion of human activities is associated with the introduction of novel stimuli,
such as anthropogenic noise, artificial lights and chemical agents. Progress in documenting …

Anthropogenic noise is a pervasive pollutant that decreases environmental quality by
disrupting a suite of behaviors vital to perception and communication. However, even within …

Background Ecological research now deals increasingly with the effects of noise pollution
on biodiversity. Indeed, many studies have shown the impacts of anthropogenic noise and …

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 …

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 …

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 …

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 …

Anthropogenic noise has been increasing globally. Laboratory experiments suggest that
noise disrupts foraging behavior across a range of species, but to reveal the full impacts of …

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