Underwater noise, whether of natural or anthropogenic origin, has the ability to interfere with
the way in which marine mammals receive acoustic signals (ie, for communication, social …

Anthropogenic noise is an increasing threat to marine mammals that rely on sound for
communication, navigation, detecting prey and predators, and finding mates. Auditory …

Human capacity for entraining movement to external rhythms—ie, beat keeping—is
ubiquitous, but its evolutionary history and neural underpinnings remain a mystery. Recent …

Ringed seals (Pusa hispida) are semi-aquatic marine mammals with a circumpolar Arctic
distribution. In this study, we investigate the amphibious hearing capabilities of ringed seals …

Interaction with the world is a multisensory experience, but most of what is known about the
neural correlates of perception comes from studying vision. Auditory inputs enter cortex with …

The interdisciplinary field of assessing the impacts of sound on marine life has benefited
largely from the advancement of underwater acoustics that occurred after World War II …

Sound from transoceanic shipping is a major component of ocean noise budgets. Baleen
whale communication may be particularly vulnerable to shipping noise impacts due to …

Bearded seals (Erignathus barbatus) have a circumpolar Arctic distribution and are closely
associated with unstable pack ice, spending nearly all of their lives in remote habitats. As a …

Shipping noise is a threat to marine wildlife. Grey seals are benthic foragers, and thus
experience acoustic noise throughout the water column, which makes them a good model …

The Ocean Networks Canada (ONC) cabled video-observatory at the Barkley Canyon Node
(British Columbia, Canada) was recently the site of a Fish Acoustics and Attraction …
