Our latest paper was published in the Journal of Experimental Biology! In this paper, we use literature on invertebrate bioacoustics to outline the potential impacts of anthropogenic noise on invertebrates. While researching and writing this Review, two overwhelming themes emerged. First, acoustics are incredibly important to terrestrial invertebrates – the ways in which they use sound are almost inconceivably diverse, both mechanistically and ecologically. Second, because the ways that invertebrates and vertebrates sense and use sound are so different, an appreciation of human-created noise in the natural world requires a recognition and more full understanding of invertebrate bioacoustics.
