Effects of complex soundscapes on the occurrence of <em>Anaxipha pallidula</em> in isolated green spaces in Tokyo

Urban green spaces experience a mix of natural and anthropogenic noises, which could disrupt the vocal communication of several species. This study investigated how such complex soundscapes affect the occurrence of Anaxipha pallidula, which communicates through calls, focusing on both sound level and quality. A line census was conducted to survey the occurrence of A. pallidula and both acoustic and physical environmental factors in green spaces in the western region of Tokyo, Japan, which is surrounded by urbanized areas. These relationships were analyzed using generalized linear models and model selection based on the Akaike information criterion. Results revealed that sound level (dB) and road traffic noise negatively correlated with the occurrence of A. pallidula, suggesting that the noise caused by urbanization directly and negatively affects the species that communicate through their vocals.
