“…These constraints can hinder avoidance of noise, requiring individuals to adjust their behaviour within their ecological and physical boundaries. The particle motion generated from tank-based playback experiments will not closely mimic real-world situations and the repeated exposure of individuals to increased noise may lead to habituation or even sensitisation (Bejder et al, 2009;Bruintjes and Radford, 2013). However, our results show that changes in the acoustic environment affected a couple behaviours in the convict cichlid.…”

“…However, tank experiments mimic common ecological circumstances faced by many species where individuals cannot avoid noise polluted areas. For example, species that either inhabit confined habitats, defend territories (Bruintjes and Radford, 2013), or which rely upon seasonal, or patchy resources may be among those affected (Eikenaar et al, 2009). These constraints can hinder avoidance of noise, requiring individuals to adjust their behaviour within their ecological and physical boundaries.…”

“…Noise may also negatively affect the social structure between pairs and groups, leading to weakened social bonds and instability in group cohesion by increasing the aggression between individuals [68]. Such behavioural changes can impede defence against predators of eggs and fry [68], reduce the ability to maintain territories [76] or alter the reproductive behaviour and output of individuals by negatively influencing mate choice, courtship, and parental care [17].…”

“…Such behavioural changes can impede defence against predators of eggs and fry [68], reduce the ability to maintain territories [76] or alter the reproductive behaviour and output of individuals by negatively influencing mate choice, courtship, and parental care [17]. An increase in agonistic behaviours, including the quantity and quality of contests between individuals, may increase the amount of energy used or the likelihood of injury or death [68].…”

“…Furthermore, noise may affect predator -prey interactions: fish can use sound generated by prey to hunt efficiently [63], and prey, on the other hand, may suppress acoustic behaviour in response to predator sounds [64 -67]. Moreover, noise can increase the risk of predation or affect antipredator behaviour by reducing anti-predator defence in both invertebrates and vertebrates ( [68,69] but see [70]). …”

Anthropogenically driven environmental changes affect our planet at an unprecedented scale and are considered to be a key threat to biodiversity. According to the World Health Organization, anthropogenic noise is one of the most hazardous forms of anthropogenically driven environmental change and is recognized as a major global pollutant. However, crucial advances in the rapidly emerging research on noise pollution focus exclusively on single aspects of noise pollution, e.g. on behaviour, physiology, terrestrial ecosystems, or on certain taxa. Given that more than two-thirds of our planet is covered with water, there is a pressing need to get a holistic understanding of the effects of anthropogenic noise in aquatic ecosystems. We found experimental evidence for negative effects of anthropogenic noise on an individual's development, physiology, and/or behaviour in both invertebrates and vertebrates. We also found that species differ in their response to noise, and highlight the potential underlying mechanisms for these differences. Finally, we point out challenges in the study of aquatic noise pollution and provide directions for future research, which will enhance our understanding of this globally present pollutant.

Objectives In primates, allogrooming and other affiliative behaviors confer many benefits and may be influenced by many socioecological factors. Of these, the impact of anthropogenic factors remain relatively understudied. Here we ask whether interactions with humans decreased macaques' affiliative behaviors by imposing time‐constraints, or increased these behaviors on account of more free‐/available‐time due to macaques' consumption of high‐energy human foods. Materials and methods In Southern India, we collected data on human–macaque and macaque–macaque interactions using focal‐animal sampling on two groups of semi‐urban bonnet macaques for 11 months. For each macaque within each climatic season, we calculated frequencies of human–macaque interactions, rates of monitoring human activity and foraging on anthropogenic food, dominance ranks, grooming duration, number of unique grooming partners, and frequencies of other affiliative interactions. Results We found strong evidence for time‐constraints on grooming. Macaques that monitored humans more groomed for shorter durations and groomed fewer partners, independent of their group membership, sex, dominance rank, and season. However, monitoring humans had no impact on other affiliative interactions. We found no evidence for the free‐time hypothesis: foraging on anthropogenic food was unrelated to grooming and other affiliation. Discussion Our results are consistent with recent findings on other urban‐dwelling species/populations. Macaques in such environments may be especially reliant on other forms of affiliation that are of short duration (e.g., coalitionary support, lip‐smacking) and unaffected by time‐constraints. We stress on the importance of evaluating human impact on inter‐individual differences in primate/wildlife behavior for conservation efforts.
