Humans have brought about unprecedented changes to environments worldwide. For many
species, behavioral adjustments represent the first response to altered conditions. In this …

The initial response of individuals to human‐induced environmental change is often
behavioural. This can improve the performance of individuals under sudden, large‐scale …

This review reports on the effects of human activities on animal acoustic signals published in
the literature from 1970 to 2009. Almost 5% of the studies on variation in animal …

The role of sexual selection in adaptation is disputed. A balance between sexual and
