Global increases in environmental noise levels–arising from expansion of human
populations, transportation networks, and resource extraction–have catalysed a recent …

The initial response of individuals to human‐induced environmental change is often
behavioural. This can improve the performance of individuals under sudden, large‐scale …

Baleen whales (Mysticeti) communicate using low-frequency acoustic signals. These long-
wavelength sounds can be detected over hundreds of kilometres, potentially allowing …

Acoustic masking from anthropogenic noise is increasingly being considered as a threat to
marine mammals, particularly low-frequency specialists such as baleen whales. Low …

On the occasion of the centenary of the discovery of the Lombard effect, we review the
literature on noise-dependent regulation of vocal amplitude in humans and other animals …

Anthropogenic (man-made) noise has changed the acoustic environment both on land and
underwater and is now recognized as a pollutant of international concern. Increasing …

Shipping routes in the ocean are analogous to terrestrial roads, in that they are regularly
used thoroughfares that concentrate the movement of vessels between multiple locations …

The WWF-Natural Marine Reserve of Miramare (Trieste, Italy) is located in a major industrial
