Abstract

ABSTRACT Noise pollution contributes to the global biodiversity crisis, however the consequences of this pollution on anuran diversity patterns are poorly understood. This is especially true of less evident sources of noise like wind farms and highly exploited areas, as in the Brazilian semi-arid region. Here, we evaluated the influence of wind farm noise on anuran assemblages’ diversity at the Caatinga, a seasonal dry tropical forest in Brazil. We tested the hypothesis that wind farm noise negatively affects the diversity of anuran assemblages in terms of abundance, species richness and composition. Anurans were sampled in 19 temporary ponds along a noise gradient in two wind farms over a rainy season (March to August). A total of 2,047 individuals belonging to 20 species were recorded. Our results suggest that wind farm noise has a non-significant relationship with anuran diversity patterns (species richness, composition and abundance). To our knowledge, this is the first investigation into the effects of wind farm noise on anuran assemblages in the Caatinga dry forest. Despite our results suggesting that anuran diversity is insensitive to noise pollution caused by wind farms, identification of emerging threats is essential to mitigate impacts on anuran populations which are declining globally.

风电场噪声和无公害多样性模式：以巴西季节性干燥热带森林为例

噪音污染加剧了全球生物多样性危机，然而，人们对这种污染对人类多样性模式的影响知之甚少。在风力发电场和高度开发的地区(如巴西半干旱地区)等噪音来源不太明显的地区尤其如此。在此，我们评估了风电场噪声对巴西季节性干燥热带森林Caatinga的anuran组合多样性的影响。我们从丰度、物种丰富度和组成方面检验了风电场噪音对无尾龙组合多样性产生负面影响的假设。在雨季(3月至8月)，在两个风力发电场沿噪音梯度的19个临时池塘中取样了Anurans。共记录到20种2047只。结果表明，风电场噪声与动物多样性模式(物种丰富度、组成和丰度)关系不显著。据我们所知，这是第一次调查风电场噪音对卡廷加干林anuran群落的影响。尽管我们的研究结果表明，无尾蜥蜴的多样性对风力发电场造成的噪音污染不敏感，但识别新出现的威胁对于减轻对全球范围内不断下降的无尾蜥蜴种群的影响至关重要。

期刊介绍： Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance. Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
