(Phys.org) —Large roads and highways have been shown to reduce the numbers of many species that live near them. Previously, this effect has been mostly studied in birds. But a recent research paper, published in the science ...
(Phys.org)—Animals have developed a variety of strategies for dealing with increasing noise pollution in their habitats. It is known, for example, that many urban birds sing at a high pitch to differentiate their song from ...
