WEBINAR – Little oil well on the prairie: disentangling mechanisms to mitigate effects on grassland songbirds
WebinarAs anthropogenic noise becomes more prevalent across habitats, its impacts on wildlife remain difficult to assess. To disentangle effects of industrial noise from confounding factors (i.e. well presence, human activity, roads), we developed a high-fidelity solar-powered broadcasting system to reproduce sound from wells in sites without wells. We are comparing these “noisy” sites with sites […]
