Reviews

The book begins with a discussion of signal detection theory, followed by a broad taxonomic survey of how noise affects signal production and reception. ... The book is theoretically strong, covers a diversity of topics in impressive depth, and represents the most comprehensive synthesis of a fascinating developing field. ... Animal Communication in Noise provides a thorough introduction for those new to the topic and serves as a valuable reference even for those experienced in the field. (Laurel B. Symes and Trevor D. Price, Animal Behaviour, Vol. 108, October, 2015) Animal communication in different sensory modalities is often oversimplified, and this volume evaluating communication in the face of noise helps to remedy this superficial treatment. ... Summing Up: Highly recommended. Graduate students, researchers/faculty, and professionals. (J. A. Mather, Choice, Vol. 51 (11), August, 2014) The book, Animal Communication and Noise, which is edited by Henrik Brumm, is a great resource for advanced undergraduates, graduate students and professionals ... . This book is an excellent resource for individuals interested in the emerging issue of the impact of anthropogenic sound on animals, those interested in how animals have evolved to mitigate noise interference in communication and comparative biologists and bio-acousticians interested in evolutionary solutions to noise across taxa.
