Urban bioacoustics: it's not just noise

TL;DR: In this article, the authors argue that noise is not the only aspect of urban bioacoustics that researchers should explore, and suggest that urban areas are a fruitful area for future research on the evolution of animal communication systems, with more general implications for conservation in human-altered environments.
