New research has found that monkeys increase their use of scent markings to compensate for human noise pollution. The study has investigated how primates change their communication strategies in response to noise pollution. The researchers studied endangered pied tamarins (Saguinus bicolor), which use both vocal calls and scent markings. The researchers found that the frequency of scent marking directly increased in line with noise decibel levels.
New research has found that monkeys increase their use of scent markings to compensate for human noise pollution.
The new study, led by academics from Universidade Federal do Amazonas and Anglia Ruskin University , investigated the behaviour of nine separate groups of wild pied tamarins. During the new study, the researchers found that the frequency of scent marking directly increased in line with noise decibel levels. The results suggest that scent marking is being used more frequently as the pied tamarins' vocal communication becomes less effective due to the impacts of human noise.
