Noise-generating human activities affect hearing, communication and movement in terrestrial aquatic animals, but direct evidence for impacts on survival is rare. We examined effects of motorboat noise post-settlement physiology a prey fish species its performance when exposed to predators. Both playback disturbance by motorboats elevated metabolic rate Ambon damselfish (Pomacentrus amboinensis), which stressed responded less often rapidly simulated predatory strikes. Prey were captured more...
Anthropogenic underwater noise is now recognized as a world-wide problem, and recent studies have shown broad range of negative effects in variety taxa. Underwater from shipping increasingly significant pervasive pollutant with the potential to impact marine ecosystems on global scale. We reviewed six regional case examples research management activities relating ocean taxonomic groups, locations, approaches. However, no projects could ever cover all taxa, sites sources, brief bibliometric...
Ocean acidification is predicted to affect marine ecosystems in many ways, including modification of fish behaviour. Previous studies have identified effects CO(2)-enriched conditions on the sensory behaviour fishes, loss natural responses odours resulting ecologically deleterious decisions. Many fishes also rely hearing for orientation, habitat selection, predator avoidance and communication. We used an auditory choice chamber study influence directional juvenile clownfish (Amphiprion...
Anthropogenic (man-made) noise has changed the acoustic environment both on land and underwater is now recognized as a pollutant of international concern. Increasing numbers studies are assessing how pollution affects animals across range scales, from individuals to communities, but topic receiving most research attention been communication. Although there an extensive literature signalers might avoid potential masking anthropogenic noise, vast majority work conducted birds marine mammals....
Summary Sound waves in water have both a pressure and particle‐motion component, yet few studies of underwater acoustic ecology measured the component sound. While mammal hearing is based on detection sound pressure, fish invertebrates (i.e. most aquatic animals) primarily sense using particle motion. Particle motion can be calculated indirectly from measurements under certain conditions, but these conditions are rarely met shelf‐sea shallow‐water habitats that organisms inhabit. Direct been...
Coral reefs are exceptionally biodiverse, and human dependence on their ecosystem services is high. Reefs experience significant direct indirect anthropogenic pressures, provide a sensitive indicator of coastal ocean health, climate change acidification, with associated implications for society. Monitoring coral reef status trends essential to better inform science, management policy, but the projected collapse systems within few decades makes provision accurate actionable monitoring data...
Within the set of risk factors that compromise conservation marine biodiversity, one least understood concerns is noise produced by human operations at sea and from land. Many aspects how other forms energy may impact natural balance oceans are still unstudied. Substantial attention has been devoted in last decades to determine sensitivity mammals—especially cetaceans pinnipeds—and fish because they known possess hearing organs. Recent studies have revealed a wide diversity invertebrates...
Despite spending weeks at sea as larvae, potentially scattered over many kilometers, young coral reef fish find suitable settlement habitat and in some cases return to their natal reefs. We report that dominant families of larval use the sounds made by shrimp resident on reefs help them locate settle groups specific components sound guide behavior. These findings could offer potential for active management fisheries.
Free-swimming larvae of tropical corals go through a critical life-phase when they return from the open ocean to select suitable settlement substrate. During planktonic phase their life cycle, behaviours small coral (<1 mm) that influence success are difficult observe in situ and therefore largely unknown. Here, we show respond acoustic cues may facilitate detection habitat large distances upcurrent preferred locations. Using choice chambers, found settling were attracted reef sounds,...
Increases in noise-generating human activities since the Industrial Revolution have changed acoustic landscape of many terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems. Anthropogenic noise is now recognized as a major pollutant international concern, recent studies demonstrated impacts on, for instance, hearing thresholds, communication, movement foraging range species. However, consequences survival reproductive success are difficult to ascertain. Using series laboratory-based experiments an open-water...

Traditional studies of animal navigation over both long and short distances have usually considered the orientation ability individual only, without reference to implications group membership. However, recent work has suggested that being in a can significantly improve an align toward reach target direction or point, even when all members limited navigational there are no leaders. This effect is known as "many-wrongs principle" since large number errors across suppressed by interactions...
Anthropogenic noise has fundamentally changed the acoustics of terrestrial and aquatic environments, there is growing empirical evidence that even a single exposure can affect behaviour in variety vertebrate organisms. Here, we use controlled experiments to investigate how physiology marine invertebrate, shore crab ( Carcinus maenas ), affected by both repeated ship-noise playback. Crabs experiencing playback consumed more oxygen, indicating higher metabolic rate potentially greater stress,...
Habitat-specific cues play an important role in orientation for animals that move through a mosaic of habitats. Environmental can be imprinted upon during early life stages to guide later return adult habitats, yet many species must orient toward suitable habitats without previous experience the habitat. It is hypothesized multiple sensory may enable differentiate between sequential order relevant spatial scales over which different types information are conveyed, but research, especially...
Human activities can create noise pollution and there is increasing international concern about how this may impact wildlife. There evidence that anthropogenic have detrimental effects on behaviour physiology in many species but are few examples of experiments showing fitness be directly affected. Here we use a split-brood, counterbalanced, field experiment to investigate the effect repeated boat-noise playback during early life development survival marine invertebrate, sea hare Stylocheilus...
Anthropogenic noise is a pollutant of international concern, with mounting evidence disturbance and impacts on animal behaviour physiology. However, empirical studies measuring survival consequences are rare. We use field experiment to investigate how repeated motorboat-noise playback affects parental offspring in the spiny chromis ( Acanthochromis polyacanthus ), brooding coral reef fish. Repeated observations were made for 12 days at 38 natural nests broods young. Exposure compared...
