Proceeding of WMMC 2019, BARCELONE, ESPAGNE, 07-/12/2019 - 12/12/2019 The risk-disturbance hypothesis proposes that anthropogenic sounds may be perceived by animals as a threat similar to predator presence, driving individuals to trade fitness-enhancing behaviours such as foraging for perceived safety.
