Noise pollution changes avian communities and species interactions. (2009, background): “Specifically, noise may disrupt acoustic communication [1–4, 6], interfere with detection of warning signals [1, 3], and elevate stress levels [1, 9].”
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): “Acoustic interference, also known as masking, occurs when background noise reduces the active distance of a signal (Brumm and Slabbekoorn 2005).”
The emerging significance of bioacoustics in animal species conservation (2010, background): “…studies and numerous reviews and updates have already been published on the subject (Myrberg 1990, Richardson et al. 1995, Katti and Warren 2004, Brumm and Slabbekoorn 2005, Patricelli and Blickley 2006, Warren et al. 2006, Nowacek et al. 2007, Slabbekoorn and Ripmeester 2008, Hu and Cardoso…”
High levels of environmental noise erode pair preferences in zebra finches: implications for noise pollution (2007, background): “Environmental noise has already been implicated as a factor affecting the behavioural modulation and evolutionary adaptation of songs and calls in adult and nestling passerines (Klump 1996; Cynx et al. 1998; Pytte et al. 2003; Rabin et al. 2003; Slabbekoorn & Peet 2003; Aubin 2004; Brumm 2004; Brum”
Vessel noise effects on delphinid communication (2009, background): “It is currently unknown whether or how such progressive loss of information transforms animal behaviour or leads to long-term population effects (Brumm & Slabbekoorn 2005).”
Comparative effects of urban development and anthropogenic noise on bird songs (2012, background): “Animals use acoustic signals for functions like species recognition, mate attraction, and territory defense, making them central to their reproductive success and survival (Kroodsma and Byers 1991; Brumm and Slabbekoorn 2005).”
Ambient noise, motor fatigue, and serial redundancy in chaffinch song (2006, background): “Aside from increasing serial redundancy, animals can mitigate the masking effects of ambient noise by adjusting other parameters of their vocal signals (Brumm and Slabbekoorn 2005).”
Spectral niche segregation and community organization in a tropical cricket assemblage (2013, background): “Auditory masking as a result of this situation will decrease the discrimination and/or detection of behaviorally relevant signals, depending on the degree of signal (spectral) overlap (Riede 1997; Wollerman and Wiley 2002; Brumm and Slabbekoorn 2005; Bee 2007; Bee and Micheyl 2008; Schmidt and Römer”
Fitness costs as well as benefits are important when considering responses to anthropogenic noise (2014, background): “The most obvious way in which anthropogenic noise can disrupt acoustic communication is through masking, whereby there is an increase in the threshold for detection or discrimination of one sound in the presence of another (Brumm and Slabbekoorn 2005).”
Disruption of the reproductive behaviour of Scaphoideus titanus by playback of vibrational signals (2009, background): “The most effective masking signals should be the ones that are in the range of frequencies used in intra-specific communication (Brumm & Slabbekoorn, 2005).”
Noise negatively affects foraging and antipredator behaviour in shore crabs (2013, background): “Thus, predation and starvation may be more likely if such acoustic information is masked, that is, if the threshold for detection or discrimination of one sound is increased in the presence of another (Brumm & Slabbekoorn 2005).”
Are bird species that vocalize at higher frequencies preadapted to inhabit noisy urban areas (2009, background): “Urban noise, notably traffic noise, is ubiquitous, louder than most natural sources of noise, and stronger at lower frequencies (Klump 1996; Brumm and Slabbekoorn 2005; Warren et al. 2006).”
AVIAN COMMUNICATION IN URBAN NOISE: CAUSES AND CONSEQUENCES OF VOCAL ADJUSTMENT (2006, background): “Noise varies among locations, and there is evidence that many species have evolved signals that maximize the habitat-specifi c SNR (reviewed in Brumm and Slabbekoorn 2005).”
