• Resumen

  • The article discusses the effect of human development on bioacoustics. The replacement of natural bird, animal, and insect sounds with the sounds of human civilization is discussed. Bioacoustics expert Bernie Krause describes the potential effect of noise pollution, saying that it can disrupt animals' mating calls, discourage animals from grazing, and prevent animals from hearing nearby predators.
