Scientists have long known that noise from human activities—from the roar of jet engines to the whir of ship propellors—can harm animals, stunting their growth and even scrambling their eggs. But it’s been unclear just how pervasive the problem is.
A massive analysis published today in Science reveals the impacts are far more widespread than even researchers thought. Data from 177 species that live on land and in the water reveal the vast majority are impacted by sound in some way, fundamentally altering their biology and behaviors, and causing many to die early…
