The impact of noise and vibration from road traffic on the community composition and acoustic communication of birds and frogs. Roads cover a significant and increasing proportion of the Australian landscape, but their ecological impact is poorly understood. Traffic noise from busy roads can disturb animals over long distances, and may interfere with acoustic communication. In addition, ground vibration caused by passing traffic may disturb sensitive terrestrial animals. This project aims to assess the impact of traffic noise and vibration on communities of birds and frogs. Results of this research will provide vital information on the effects of roads on vulnerable wildlife, and the potential benefits to conservation of noise mitigation measures such as construction of tunnels and sound barriers.

道路交通噪声和振动对鸟类和蛙类群落组成及声通讯的影响。道路覆盖了澳大利亚景观的一个重要和越来越大的比例，但他们的生态影响知之甚少。来自忙碌道路的交通噪音会干扰远距离的动物，并可能干扰声学通信。此外，过往车辆引起的地面振动可能会干扰敏感的陆生动物。该项目旨在评估交通噪音和振动对鸟类和青蛙群落的影响。这项研究的结果将提供重要的资料，说明道路对脆弱的野生生物的影响，以及建造隧道和隔音屏障等噪音缓解措施对保护环境的潜在好处。
