Noise negatively affects foraging and antipredator behaviour in shore crabs (2013, background): “The processes of habituation and sensitization to noise exposure are only just beginning to be explored (Masini et al. 2008; Wale et al. 2013) and the implications are far from simple (Bejder et al. 2009), so further research is certainly warranted.”
The Negative Impacts of Whale-Watching (2012, unknown): “There are a number of reasons why cetaceans may remain within an area or continue certain behaviours despite disturbance [91].”
Ultimate and proximate mechanisms underlying the occurrence of bears close to human settlements: review and management implications (2014, unknown): “An individual’s tolerance levels increase during a habituation process (Bejder et al. 2009).”
The soundscape of the Anthropocene ocean (2021, background): “In some situations, habituation may be considered a reduced response to stimuli that have no biological importance on the individual being observed ( 112 ), although disturbance involving a sensory modality that is so fundamental to most marine animals would not often be considered inconsequential.”
Shark and ray provisioning: functional insights into behavioral, ecological and physiological responses across multiple scales (2015, background): “From this perspective, Bejder et al. (2009) suggests the need for integrated models incorporating individual decision making as the theoretical basis for understanding how human disturbances influence animal behavior.”
Biological effects, conservation potential, and research priorities of shark diving tourism. (2015, background): “Without such information it is particularly difficult to interpret and assess the effects of conditioning on target animals and to identify the mechanisms underlying such behaviors (Bejder et al., 2009).”
A systematic review on the behavioural responses of wild marine mammals to noise: the disparity between science and policy (2016, background): “There are occasions when individuals may be unwilling to display any avoidance response due to the value of a habitat for feeding or reproduction (Bejder et al. 2009).”
No single solution: application of behavioural principles in mitigating human–wildlife conflict (2016, background): “(c) Howmight management efforts be affected over time by individual behaviours, method integration and habituation/ sensitization (e.g. Bejder et al., 2009)?”
Habituation and sensitization: new thoughts about old ideas (2016, unknown): “There are least two other processes that could lead to spatial variation in tolerance (Bejder et al., 2009).”
A sound approach to assessing the impact of underwater noise on marine fishes and invertebrates (2017, background): “Many anthropogenic sound events are transient in nature (Hildebrand, 2009; Popper and Hastings, 2009), and short-term impacts of sound may not necessarily translate into long-term consequences (Bejder et al., 2009).”
Fitness costs as well as benefits are important when considering responses to anthropogenic noise (2014, background): “assess cumulative effects and consider the possibility that responses change due to processes such as habituation, tolerance, and sensitization (Bejder et al. 2009), experiments over an extended period of time should ideally be conducted (e.”
