Acoustic Communication in Noise
Henrik Brumm,Hans Slabbekoorn +1 more
TL;DR: This chapter reviews recent advancements in studies of vocal adaptations to interference by background noise and relates these to fundamental issues in sound perception in animals and humans.
Journal ArticleDOI
Anthropogenic and natural sources of ambient noise in the ocean
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors report that over the past few decades, the contribution of shipping and seismic sources to ambient noise has increased by as much as 12 dB, coincident with a significant increase in the num- ber and size of vessels comprising the world's commercial shipping fleet.

A digital acoustic recording tag for measuring the response of wild marine mammals to sound
Mark Johnson,Peter L. Tyack +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a novel archival tag, called the DTAG, has been developed to monitor the behavior of marine mammals, and their response to sound, continuously throughout the dive cycle.
Journal ArticleDOI
A noisy spring: the impact of globally rising underwater sound levels on fish
Hans Slabbekoorn,Niels Bouton,Ilse van Opzeeland,Aukje Coers,Carel ten Cate,Arthur N. Popper +5 more
TL;DR: Attention is called on to the urgent need to study the role of sound in the lives of fish and to develop a better understanding of the ecological impact of anthropogenic noise.
