AI Article Synopsis
- The paper discusses how human-made sounds impact marine wildlife by combining sound field properties with animal distribution models.
- Recent research shows that the context in which animals hear sounds influences their reactions, including in how they avoid sounds.
- This study advances stochastic modeling by exploring three scenarios that factor in contextual variables, aiming to assess how effective passive acoustic monitoring is for studying these impacts.
Article Abstract
The effect of anthropogenic sounds on marine wildlife is typically assessed by convolving the spatial, temporal, and spectral properties of a modeled sound field with a representation of animal distribution within the field. Both components benefit from stochastic modeling techniques based on field observations. Recent studies have also highlighted the effect of context on the probability and severity of the animal behavioral response to sound. This paper extends the stochastic approach to three modeling scenarios, including key contextual variables in aversion from a given level of sound and as a means of evaluating the effectiveness of passive acoustic monitoring.
