Though many animal ornaments and signals are sensitive to and encode information about
the oxidative balance (OB) of individuals (eg, antioxidant supplies/activity, reactive oxygen …

Green and blue spaces are an important part of a healthy urban environment. This study
evaluates temporal patterns of urban green and blue space structure changes in Kraków …

Urban noise can interfere with avian communication through masking, but birds can reduce
this interference by altering their vocalizations. Although several experimental studies …

Anthropogenic noise is rapidly becoming a universal environmental feature. While the
impacts of such additional noise on avian sexual signals are well documented, our …

As urbanization expands globally, the communication systems of an increasing number of
species are affected. Because bird song is a long-distance signal used to attract mates and …

Vocal plasticity may allow birds to reduce masking effects of noise pollution arising from
urbanization. Mountain chickadees (Poecile gambeli) use both songs and calls during the …

Anthropogenic noise changes the acoustic environment in which avian signals have
evolved, possibly decreasing active space or the area over which signals may be detected …

Rapidly changing environments impose novel selection pressures on organisms, and
sometimes adaptive phenotypic plasticity allows organisms to survive and reproduce in the …

Animal acoustic signals are shaped by selection to convey information based on their
tempo, intensity, and frequency. However, sound signals degrade as they transmit over …

Anthropogenic noise is a pervasive pollutant altering behaviour of wildlife that
communicates acoustically. Some species adjust vocalisations to compensate for noise …
