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 …

The acoustic properties of the environment influence sound propagation. Many previous
studies examined whether various species of anurans, birds and mammals adjust usage …

The voices of birds have always been a source of fascination. Nature's Music brings together
some of the world's experts on birdsong, to review the advances that have taken place in our …

When animals live in cities, they have to adjust their behaviour and life histories to novel
environments. Noise pollution puts a severe constraint on vocal communication by …

of the “problems” in working with aquatic animals is that they are not nearly as easy to …

Acoustic signals are used for long-range communication in many animals from insects to
birds and mammals. Long-range signals are used primarily by males to advertise and …

Any signal must get from a sender to a receiver if information is to be transmitted. In the case
of bird song, the acoustic properties of the habitat may hinder this being achieved. However …

Acoustic communication signals change over distance due to loss of amplitude and fidelity,
and it is assumed that signal degradation influences the receiver's ability to detect and …

Animal vocalizations used for long-distance communication are shaped by acoustic
properties of the environment. Studies of the relationship between signal design and sound …
