"Animals are noisy. And their noises can travel a long way.
But making sounds can be a double-edged sword: it can help them communicate,
sometimes over long distances, but it can also reveal them to predators.
In new research published in the
Journal of Mammalian Evolution, my colleague
and I studied how far the sounds of 103 different mammal species travel, and
discovered some surprising patterns.
What’s more, these patterns hint at an overlooked impact humans may be having
on our fellow creatures: not only changing their sonic landscapes through our
own noise, but also changing the world their sounds are travelling through,
with unknown effects."
