Effects of mining truck traffic on cricket calling activity (2019)
Journal Article
Duarte, M., Cailari, E., Scarpelli, M., Lobregat, G., Young, R., & Sousa-Lima, R. (2019). Effects of mining truck traffic on cricket calling activity. ˜The œJournal of the Acoustical Society of America (Online), 146(1), 656-664. https://doi.org/10.1121/1.5119125

Anthropogenic noise is a global pollutant and several studies have identified its impact on wildlife. This research shows how the noise produced by mining affects crickets' acoustic communication. Two passive acoustic monitoring devices (SMII) were i... Read More about Effects of mining truck traffic on cricket calling activity.

Low welfare impact of noise : assessment in an experimental model of mice infected by Herpes simplex-1 (2018)
Journal Article
Araújo, F., Espírito Santo, L., Teixeira, A., Santos, B., Filho, B., Silva, T., …Campos, M. (2018). Low welfare impact of noise : assessment in an experimental model of mice infected by Herpes simplex-1. Applied Animal Behaviour Science, 207, 79-88. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.applanim.2018.07.010

The breeding practices adopted and the equipment typically found in animal facilities produce sounds at frequencies within the auditory range of the mice (1 to 100 kHz), which can cause hearing and other non-hearing effects. Another aspect that could... Read More about Low welfare impact of noise : assessment in an experimental model of mice infected by Herpes simplex-1.

Comparing contact calling between black tufted-ear marmosets (Callithrix penicillata) in a noisy urban environment and in a quiet forest (2017)
Journal Article
quiet forest. International Journal of Primatology, 38(6), 1130-1137. https://doi.org/10.1007/s10764-017-0002-x

All habitats have some level of noise but anthropogenic sounds such as those produced by traffic are structurally different from natural sounds, and could cause organisms living in noisy urban areas to modify their vocal communication. We compared te... Read More about Comparing contact calling between black tufted-ear marmosets (Callithrix penicillata) in a noisy urban environment and in a quiet forest.

Mining noise affects loud call structures and emission patterns of wild black-fronted titi monkeys (2017)
Journal Article
of wild black-fronted titi monkeys. Primates, 59(1), 89-97. https://doi.org/10.1007/s10329-017-0629-4

Anthropogenic noise pollution is increasing and
can constrain acoustic communication in animals. Our aim
was to investigate if the acoustic parameters of loud calls
and their diurnal pattern in the black-fronted titi monkey
(Callicebus nigrifrons... Read More about Mining noise affects loud call structures and emission patterns of wild black-fronted titi monkeys.

Determining temporal sampling schemes for passive acoustic studies in different tropical ecosystems (2015)
Journal Article
acoustic studies in different tropical ecosystems. Tropical Conservation Science, 8(1), 215-234. https://doi.org/10.1177/194008291500800117

Among different approaches to exploring and describing the ecological complexity of natural environments, soundscape analyses have recently
provided useful proxies for understanding and interpreting dynamic patterns and processes in a landscape. Nev... Read More about Determining temporal sampling schemes for passive acoustic studies in different tropical ecosystems.
