Anthropogenic noise causes body malformations and delays development in marine larvae
Understanding the impact of noise on marine fauna at the population level requires knowledge about the vulnerability of different life-stages. Here we provide the first evidence that noise exposure during larval development produces body malformations in marine invertebrates. Scallop larvae exposed to playbacks of seismic pulses showed significant developmental delays and 46% developed body abn...
متن کاملAnthropogenic noise playback impairs embryonic development and increases mortality in a marine invertebrate
Human activities can create noise pollution and there is increasing international concern about how this may impact wildlife. There is evidence that anthropogenic noise may have detrimental effects on behaviour and physiology in many species but there are few examples of experiments showing how fitness may be directly affected. Here we use a split-brood, counterbalanced, field experiment to inv...
متن کاملMarine mammals and the impacts of anthropogenic noise
Sound travels with greater efficiency in water than does light, which is quickly absorbed and scattered. As a consequence, a wide variety of marine taxa use sound for communication, foraging and generally sensing their environment. Since the 1970s there has been increasing concern about the potential impacts of underwater anthropogenic noise on marine animals. Sources range from short-term coas...
متن کاملResponse of Marine Invertebrate Larvae to Natural and Anthropogenic Sound: A Pilot Study
Many vertebrates and invertebrates in the marine environment create and respond to sound. Due to increasing use of waterways, levels of anthropogenic sound are greater than ever. We examined the responses of larvae of temperate invertebrates to three sound treatments: natural ambient sound (shallow rocky reef), anthropogenic sound (an outboard motor) and no sound (control). Sound recordings wer...
متن کاملAnthropogenic EM Noise and EMC
EMC'09/Kyoto was organized by L. R. Koga, Okayama University, and was held in Kyoto at Kyoto International Conference Center, from June 20th to 24th, 2009. This was the sixth EMC Symposium in Japan, because they have been held every five years since 1984. Number of attendee was 409 from 21 countries, though the number was less than had been expected due to the Lehman Shock which prohibited fina...
