Context-dependent impacts of anthropogenic noise on individual and social behaviour in a cooperatively breeding fish (2013, background): “…need to look beyond the simple question of whether noise is having an effect, especially if we are to gain a full understanding of how this global pollutant influences individual fitness, population viability and community structure (see also Francis et al. 2009, 2012; Herrera-Montes & Aide 2011).”
Nest predation research: recent findings and future perspectives (2015, background): “…and nest predator abundance and/or behaviour across the same habitat gradients has therefore clarified mechanistic pathways of nest predation dynamics (Marzluff and Neatherlin 2006; Francis et al. 2009; Benson et al. 2010; Rodewald and Kearns 2011; Cox et al. 2012b, c; DeGregorio et al. 2014a, b).”
Serins respond to anthropogenic noise by increasing vocal activity (2011, background): “Spatial shifts are changes in bird abundance and community structure favoring species with high-frequency songs close to sources of noise (Francis et al. 2009).”
Fitness costs as well as benefits are important when considering responses to anthropogenic noise (2014, background): “The different costs and benefits faced by different species in relation to anthropogenic noise will have consequences for community structure and functioning (Francis et al. 2009).”
A synthesis of two decades of research documenting the effects of noise on wildlife (2016, background): “, 2012), or in some instances, noise may provide a shelter from disturbance-sensitive predators (Francis et al., 2009; Brown et al., 2012).”
Anthropogenic Noise Alters Bat Activity Levels and Echolocation Calls (2015, background): “, 2008) and avian communities are substantially altered (Francis et al., 2009), resulting in the disruption of key ecological services such as seed dispersal (Francis et al.”
Conserving energy at a cost to biodiversity? Impacts of LED lighting on bats (2012, background): “Studies of the effect of anthropogenic noise pollution on birds have found community-level effects through disruption of interactions between predators and prey (Francis et al., 2009).”
Impacts of anthropogenic noise on marine life : publication patterns, new discoveries, and future directions in research and management (2015, background): “Such studies are well underway for terrestrial avian communities (Francis et al., 2009) and some marine mammal populations (New et al.”
Not so sexy in the city: urban birds adjust songs to noise but compromise vocal performance (2016, neutral): “lations (Slabbekoorn and Peet 2003; Francis et al. 2009; Shannon et al. 2014).”
Acoustic communication in a noisy world: can fish compete with anthropogenic noise? (2014, background): “can also influence habitat choice, individual spacing, and population density (Francis et al. 2009; Simpson et al. 2010); although less is known about such effects in aquatic environments compared with”
Road traffic noise modifies behaviour of a keystone species (2014, background): “These results, combined with studies of biological responses to quiet versus noisy gas compressor stations (Bayne, Habib, & Boutin, 2008; Francis, Kleist, Ortega, & Cruz, 2012; Francis et al., 2009), offer evidence that noise alone can degrade ecological function.”
