This article, which considers auditory and behavioural noise-exposure criteria for different marine mammals and noise sources, marks the conclusion of the second iteration of the noise...

Response of blue mussels to increasing noise levels and varying pulse rates assessed. Valve gape positively correlated with clearance rate. Clearance rate unaffected. Majority of individuals...

Most marine mammal strandings coincident with naval sonar exercises have involved Cuvier’s beaked whales (Ziphius cavirostris). We recorded animal movement and acoustic data on two tagged...

Human activities continue to expand in marine and terrestrial environments, leading to increased interactions with wildlife that can have negative impacts on population dynamics. Approaches for...

An essential component of risk assessment is identification whether individuals will be exposed to a risk. This requires information on the proportion of the population exposed,...

The Effects of Noise on Aquatic Life II: Advances in Experimental Medicine and Biology
Using long-term empirical data, we developed a complete population consequences of acoustic disturbance (PCAD) model and application for northern elephant seals. We assumed that the animals...

The potential impacts of underwater noise on marine mammals are widely recognised, but uncertainty over variability in baseline noise levels often constrains efforts to manage these...

Estimating impacts of offshore windfarm construction on marine mammals requires data on displacement in relation to different noise levels and sources. Using echolocation detectors and noise...
