They found several differences from land mammals, including a U-shaped structure instead of vocal cords, that allows them to generate their low-frequency songs. But the scientists also found a potentially serious challenge for the whales: the struggle to make themselves heard over noise pollution from ships.<\/p>\n<p>Computer models showed that baleen whale songs can travel long distances through water, but at a maximum depth of 330 feet and at a frequency of up to 300 Hz \u2013 within the range noise made by shipping vessels. This means that whales in a noisy ocean soundscape are essentially trying to talk across a busy motorway or at a loud party. Noise pollution can force whales to change their behavior, such as remaining silent until quiet returns, moving to another location, or trying to communicate over the noise \u2013 the latter two requiring whales to exert extra energy, potentially weakening their body condition and affecting long-term survival, Joy Reidenberg, professor at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai, and who was not involved in the study, said.<\/p>\n<p>The harm goes beyond whales \u2013 there is evidence that scores of marine species are negatively affected by underwater noise pollution, Melanie Lancaster, senior Arctic species specialist at the World Wildlife Fund, who was not involved in the study, told Agence France-Presse.<\/p>\n<p>Source: <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.lemonde.fr\/en\/environment\/article\/2024\/02\/21\/whales-cannot-out-sing-human-noise-pollution_6546461_114.html\">Le Monde<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>The post <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\/environmental-news-en\/6-473\/\">Whales &#8216;cannot out-sing&#8217; human noise pollution<\/a> appeared first on <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\">Vastuullisuusuutiset.fi<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[22],"tags":[575,13505,4749],"class_list":["post-125605","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news","tag-environmental-news-en","tag-noise-pollution","tag-whale"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/125605","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=125605"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/125605\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=125605"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=125605"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=125605"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
