Anthropogenic noise affects male house wren response to but not detection of territorial intruders
EE Grabarczyk, SA Gill - PLoS One, 2019 - journals.plos.org
Anthropogenic noise decreases signal active space, or the area over which male bird song
can be detected in the environment. For territorial males, noise may make it more difficult to …
