- A noisier world makes it challenging for birds, which primarily rely on sound to communicate, and many are forced to change their behavior to cope with their clamorous environment.
- A recent study looked at how traffic noise impacts communication in male Galápagos yellow warblers (Setophaga petechia aureola), a common resident bird on the islands, and found that traffic noise increases aggression in birds living closer to roads.
- With traffic increasing in the biodiversity-rich Galápagos, conservationists worry about the impact of noise on birds, especially the yellow warblers, which are also the most common roadkill.
