| Abstract |
Noise can have a variety of impacts on marine organisms and systems. However, most of the research to date focuses primarily on single species responses rather than trying to examine the effects of noise on multiple species in a system or the species community as a whole. One reason this may often be unaddressed is that system-wide studies are difficult to do. However, by choosing a focal species that serves a particular role in their ecosystem (e.g., as predator or prey), and focusing on how noise affects that role, scientists can better understand the indirect effect of noise through a community. In this chapter, the authors use forage fish and their relationship with their avian predators to examine how noise affects not only one species, but how it can indirectly impact others that they interact with. |
