“…It can alter predator-prey interactions, both through the increase of mortality by predation and through changes in foraging success. Similarly, it can change parasite-host interactions by affecting parasite species' ability to find their hosts (Berkhout et al, 2023). By masking important cues (Siemers and Schaub, 2011;Mason et al, 2016;Senzaki et al, 2016;Jung et al, 2020) or reducing hearing abilities e.g., Wysocki and Ladich (2005); Ladich (2013); Kastelein et al (2016), noise can reduce the distance before which a predator or prey is perceived, and likely impedes localization of a host (McMahon et al, 2017;Phillips et al, 2019).…”

Anthropogenic noise is a major pollutant in terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems. Since the industrial revolution, human activities have become increasingly noisy, leading to both acute and chronic disturbance of a wide variety of animals. Chronic noise exposure can affect animals over their lifespan, leading to changes in species interactions and likely altering communities. However, the community-level impacts of chronic noise are not well-understood, which impairs our ability for effective mitigation. In this review, we address the effects of chronic noise exposure on communities and explore possible mechanisms underlying these effects. The limited studies on this topic suggest that noise can affect communities by changing the behavior and/or physiology of species in a community, which results in direct or knock-on consequences for other species in the ecosystem. Major knowledge gaps remain due to the logistically complex and financially expensive nature of the long-term studies needed to address these questions. By identifying these gaps and suggesting approaches to answer them, we provide a road map toward mitigating the effects of a noisy world.

“…Vocalizations are essential for intraspecific communication and new research describes how manatees interact using vocalizations, e.g., [38,44]. As observed in other species [47], noise pollution may not only induce stress in animals but also affect their communication. However, it is uncertain how noises (e.g., water pumps, music, or visitors) affect manatees in captivity.…”

“…We distinguish positive and negative aspects, as some factors may affect manatees positively or negatively depending on current manatee temperament, the nature of the object/individual/animal they interact with, whether the manatee is wild or captive, or the animal's history and experiences.

The order Sirenia comprises several species of manatees and one species of dugong. These popular marine mammals are relatively recent acquisitions to zoological parks throughout the world. As far as we know, there are less than 200 manatees, mostly American, a few African, and ever less Amazonian, currently in zoological parks. American manatees are predominantly found in zoos in Europe, North America, and in some Asian countries, while African ones are present exclusively in Asian zoos. The living conditions of captive manatees differ considerably from zoo to zoo (i.e., numbers, sex ratio, outdoor vs. indoor habitats, complex vs. simple habitats). Most research on manatee behaviour has been relatively recent, and studies on cognition, sociality, and ecology have a significant impact on our perception of manatee needs and management, with wider implications for their welfare. In the wild, manatees demonstrated various cognitive capacities; spatial memory and learning abilities play an important role in their daily life in a complex and dynamic environment. Furthermore, there is evidence that these mammals are more social animals than expected. Individuals show various personality traits on the boldness–shyness continuum and their sociality varies. All those parameters are important in terms of animal welfare. Several behavioural studies showed that standardized enrichment programs benefit and ensure the welfare of captive zoo animals. However, obtaining accurate information on the presence of manatees in zoos, living conditions, management, and consequently welfare remains challenging. This study examines the current knowledge on manatee behaviour and cognition and then discusses different approaches to improving the welfare of this charismatic marine mammal in zoological parks.

“…It is important to note that noise levels can vary significantly depending on geographic location and time of day, being more intense in densely populated urban areas and during certain time zones. 5 Noise patterns can be influenced by population density, infrastructure and economic activity. In urban areas, high concentrations of people and commercial activities can increase noise exposure, especially during rush hours.…”

Noise pollution derived from motor vehicles, especially those with noisy engines, constitutes a significant challenge in urban environments, impacting quality of life and public health. In this context, the present study focuses on the implementation of an advanced technological solution: a web-based system specifically designed to monitor and manage noise pollution in Tarapoto, Peru. The execution of this project was structured in 4 key phases. The first phase involved extensive data collection and definition of the project scope. In the second phase, the system architecture was established based on initial observations. The third phase focussed on evaluating and improving system functionalities, while the fourth involved rigorous testing and corrections. The successful implementation of this system led to a significant improvement in the noise pollution monitoring process, reducing reporting times and improving data-driven decision making. This project not only provides a valuable tool for authorities in the management and mitigation of noise pollution, but also encourages community awareness and active participation in the sustainable management of the urban acoustic environment.
