Hunting at the Highway: Traffic Noise Reduces Foraging Efficiency in Acoustic Predators

Date Published
2011
Summary

Noise pollution from human traffic networks and industrial activity impacts vast areas of our planet. While anthropogenic noise effects on animal communication are well documented, we have very limited understanding of noise impact on more complex ecosystem processes, such as predator–prey interactions, albeit urgently needed to devise mitigation measures.
