Congrats to @gblackburn.bsky.social for this study showing that’s it’s not just anthropogenic noise, but the level (amplitude) of anthropogenic noise that is important, in terms of impact on behaviour.

New paper out now looking at how different amplitudes of anthropogenic noise affect the behaviour of urban living magpies! This work highlights the importance of considering how variation in noise may differentially impact wildlife.

Anthropogenic noise can vary greatly in several properties, including timing, frequency and amplitude. However, many studies have historically focused on the effects of high amplitude noise, even t...
