Tempo and scale of biogenic effects on high‐frequency acoustic propagation near the marine sediment–water interface in shallow water

摘要: Organisms have natural scales, such as lifetimes, body sizes, frequencies of movement to new locations, and residence times material in digestive systems, each scale has potential implications for acoustic effects. The effects groups organisms, like organisms themselves, aggregate space time. This review, including an assortment unpublished information, examines examples aggregations, many them documented acoustically. Light synchronizes activities. Macroscopic animals forage primarily under cover darkness. phasing applies both that extend appendages above the sediment–water interface leave seabed at night. Whereas their bottom‐modifying activities are concentrated nocturnal or crepuscular fashion, visual feeders follow a different often dominate rate change backscatter from interface. also acts through its on primary production, often...
