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 …

While human-induced rapid environmental changes are putting many organisms at risk of
extinction, others are doing better than ever. This raises the question of why organisms differ …

Almost all organisms live in environments that have been altered, to some degree, by
human activities. Because behaviour mediates interactions between an individual and its …

Publisher Summary Environmental noise can affect acoustic communication through limiting
the broadcast area, or active space, of a signal by decreasing signal-to-noise ratios at the …

Definitive studies on the response of marine mammals to anthropogenic sound are
hampered by the short surface time and deep-diving lifestyle of many species. A novel …

War is an ever-present force that has the potential to alter the biosphere. Here we review the
potential consequences of modern war and military activities on ecosystem structure and …

ABSTRACT 1 Since the last thorough review of the effects of anthropogenic noise on
cetaceans in 1995, a substantial number of research reports has been published and our …

The dramatic increase in human activities all over the world has caused, on an evolutionary
time scale, a sudden rise in especially low‐pitched noise levels. Ambient noise may be …

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 …
