High levels of environmental noise erode pair preferences in zebra finches: implications for noise pollution (2007, methodology): “Our second explanation for the decrease in pair preference is that female zebra finches may not be able to recognize individual males when auditory cues are masked by high-amplitude environmental noise (Miller 1979; Slabbekoorn & Peet 2003; Wood & Yezerinac 2006).”
The evolution of the Lombard effect: 100 years of psychoacoustic research (2011, background): “…arguing that this is an adaptation to reduce masking from low-frequency traffic noise (e.g., Slabbekoorn & Peet, 2003; Fernández-Juricic et al., 2005; Slabbekoorn & den Boer-Visser, 2006; Wood & Yezerinac, 2006; Bermudez-Cuamatzin et al., 2009; Luther & Baptista, 2010; Salaberria & Gil, 2010).”
Strategies of song adaptation to urban noise in the house finch: syllable pitch plasticity or differential syllable use? (2009, background): “…signal transmission, such as increase in sound amplitude (Brumm, 2004), number of same song types within a bout before changing to another song type (Brumm & Slater, 2006), and increased minimum song frequency (Slabbekoorn & Peet, 2003; Fernández-Juricic et al., 2005; Wood & Yezerinac, 2006).”
Soundscape Ecology: The Science of Sound in the Landscape (2011, background): “In song sparrows (Melospiza melodia), the lowest-frequency notes were higher in environments with high ambient noise (Wood and Yezerinac 2006).”
Research, part of a Special Feature on Effects of Roads and Traffic on Wildlife Populations and Landscape Function Frogs Call at a Higher Pitch in Traffic Noise (2009, background): “Comparison of the frequency shift with noise in birds and frogs Four studies have shown an increase in the frequency of bird song with increasing urban noise (Slabbekoorn and Peet 2003, Fernández-Juricic et al. 2005, Wood and Yezerinac 2006, Slabbekoorn and den Boer-Visser 2006).”
Habitat urbanization and its effects on birds (2015, background): “…Luscinia megarhynchos (Brumm 2004), Great Tits (Slabbekoorn & Peet 2003, Slabbekoorn & van Boer-Visser 2006), Song Sparrows Melospiza melodia (Wood & Yezerinac 2006) or Grey-shrikethrush Colluricincla harmonica (Parris & Schneider 2009), due to either behavioural plasticity or evolutionary…”
