Intermittent and chronic noise impacts on hatching success and incubation behavior of Eastern Bluebirds (Sialia sialis)
Noise pollution can degrade the behavioral, physiological, and psychological health of humans and other creatures. We used breeding pairs of Eastern Bluebirds (Sialia sialis) to assess behavioral and reproductive responses to both chronic roadway noise and experimental intermittent playbacks of construction noise. Active nests in boxes placed near and far from large roads were randomly assigned as treatments or controls for experimental playbacks during incubation. Using temperature signatures from iButtons placed within nest cups we quantified certain female incubation behaviors (# and length of bouts, # of small temperature fluctuations, and total warming minutes per day) and hatching success was recorded for 40 nests in spring of 2019. Nests in quiet areas that received no additional playback treatments of construction noise had markedly higher nest success than any exposed to noise. Nests exposed to chronic traffic noise only, and quiet nests that received 3–4 days of construction noise had the lowest hatching success. Females in traffic-quiet nests increased restlessness (small temperature fluctuations) and experienced decreasing hatching success as the number of days of construction noise playback increased. Thus, birds choosing either quiet or noisy boxes had contrasting responses to bouts of construction noise. Other female incubation behaviors we could detect were unaffected by noise but changed in expected ways with seasonal progression. In sum, both types of noise can decrease hatch rate, but with intermittent noise this is likely due to female restlessness, or too many small drops in temperature to maintain optimal embryo development.

期刊介绍:
Avian Conservation and Ecology is an open-access, fully electronic scientific journal, sponsored by the Society of Canadian Ornithologists and Birds Canada. We publish papers that are scientifically rigorous and relevant to the bird conservation community in a cost-effective electronic approach that makes them freely available to scientists and the public in real-time. ACE is a fully indexed ISSN journal that welcomes contributions from scientists all over the world.
While the name of the journal implies a publication niche of conservation AND ecology, we think the theme of conservation THROUGH ecology provides a better sense of our purpose. As such, we are particularly interested in contributions that use a scientifically sound and rigorous approach to the achievement of avian conservation as revealed through insights into ecological principles and processes. Papers are expected to fall along a continuum of pure conservation and management at one end to more pure ecology at the other but our emphasis will be on those contributions with direct relevance to conservation objectives.
