Data and code from: At the intersection of soundscapes and roads: Quantifying anthrophony’s influence on wildlife crossing structure use

Anthropogenic noise (anthrophony) can have significant negative effects on wildlife, causing both physiological (i.e., increased stress hormone production) and behavioral (i.e., altered anti-predator behaviors, space use, or diel activity) changes in individuals. Roads are a major source of anthrophony, often contributing the most to the anthrophony in rural areas. Most efforts to reduce road effects on wildlife have focused on decreasing road-associated mortality through the construction of wildlife crossing structures (WCSs) with little consideration for the anthrophony associated with these structures. Given the impacts of anthrophony on wildlife behavior, the effectiveness of WCSs could be altered without consideration towards noise pollution. Therefore, understanding how anthrophony is structured in space and time and how it impacts WCS use is an important aspect of assessing effectiveness of WCSs. We developed a framework for assessing anthrophony at WCS using an array of autonomo..., , This README.txt file was generated on 2025-03-21 by Thomas J. Yamashita
