Summary:
- This study investigates the impact of anthropogenic noise on the foraging behavior and acoustic communication of *Tursiops truncatus* (bottlenose dolphins).
- The researchers utilized long-term passive acoustic monitoring and behavioral observation data to quantify how vessel-generated noise correlates with reduced echolocation activity.
- The findings provide critical insights into the physiological and behavioral stress responses of marine mammals in high-traffic maritime corridors, contributing to the field of marine conservation biology.
