A systematic review on the behavioural responses of wild marine mammals to noise: the disparity between science and policy (2016, methodology): “On one hand, North American regulators have retained RL-based thresholds (Table 1 in Scholik-Schlomer 2015) despite the increasing evidence that RL alone is inadequate for predicting behavioural responses: the acoustic characteristics of the sound source, marine mammal’s hearing sensitivity and cont”
Current global risks to marine mammals: Taking stock of the threats (2018, background): “Acoustic pollution of the marine environment can affect marine mammals by masking echolocation signals and social vocalizations, or by causing damage of the hearing system (Weilgart, 2007; Gómez et al., 2016).”
Vessel noise effects on delphinid communication (2009, background): “Marine organisms are exposed to an array of human pollutants, including increasing levels of anthropogenic noise (Nowacek et al. 2007, Weilgart 2007, Tyack 2008).”
Reproductive failure of a human-tolerant species, the American kestrel, is associated with stress and human disturbance (2013, background): “Human activities in developed and wild areas have led to increased disturbance in terrestrial (Papouchis, Singer & Sloan 2001; Schlesinger, Manley & Holyoak 2008) and marine (Weilgart 2007) environments.”
A review of impacts of marine dredging activities on marine mammals (2015, background): “Knowledge on the effects of anthropogenic noise on marine mammals has improved due to extensive research over the past two decades, although many information gaps still exist (see, for example, Croll et al., 2001; Gerstein et al., 2006; Southall et al., 2007; Weilgart, 2007; Wright et al., 2007; OSP”
Movements of satellite-tagged Blainville's beaked whales off the island of Hawai'i (2009, neutral): “Small, isolated populations are generally at greater risk of population-level effects as a result of anthropogenic impacts (Bräger et al. 2002, Weilgart 2007).”
Responses of harbour porpoises to pile driving at the Horns Rev II offshore wind farm in the Danish North Sea (2011, background): “Studies on other cetacean species such as pilot whales, sperm whales and Cuvier’s beaked whales indeed have documented such a response to other noise exposures (for review, see Weilgart 2007).”
