一项对160种物种的研究发现,全球噪音污染通过干扰通信和繁殖,特别是破坏城市和地栖物种的通信和繁殖,对鸟类造成伤害。
Global noise pollution harms birds by disrupting communication and breeding, especially in urban and ground-nesting species, a study of 160 species finds.
根据一项大规模研究分析六大洲160个鸟类物种的数据,人类产生的噪音污染通过破坏通信、降低繁殖成功率和增加压力,对全球鸟类造成危害,特别是在地上和城市物种中。
Human-generated noise pollution harms birds globally by disrupting communication, reducing breeding success, and increasing stress, especially in ground-nesting and urban species, according to a large-scale study analyzing data from 160 bird species across six continents.
该研究发表在《皇家协会议事录B》中,发现交通、建筑和城市发展中的噪音干扰了交配、为人父母和避免捕食动物,而城市鸟类的紧张荷尔蒙含量较高。
The research, published in Proceedings of the Royal Society B, finds noise from traffic, construction, and urban development interferes with mating, parenting, and predator avoidance, with urban birds showing higher stress hormones.
尽管与气候变化和生境丧失相比,噪音污染被忽视,但噪音污染对生物多样性构成重大威胁,但是,有各种解决办法,如采用稳妥吸收材料和更好的城市规划,这些办法既具有成本效益,也有可用性。
Despite being overlooked compared to climate change and habitat loss, noise pollution is a major threat to biodiversity, but solutions like sound-absorbing materials and better urban planning are available and cost-effective.
