Overview

Analysis of ice-generated sound impacts on bearded seal vocal frequency and behaviour in Arctic habitats.

Key Points

  • Bearded seal vocal activity declines as acoustic masking from ice sound increases, suggesting impacts on communication.
  • Results reveal a relationship between listening space reduction, ambient sound exposure, and vocalization patterns.
  • Using passive acoustic data and listening space reduction metrics, the study assesses vocal masking in ice-covered areas.
  • The findings highlight potential behavioural adjustments due to increased ice-generated sound levels affecting seal communication.
