Abstract

Tree swallows prefer to nest in quieter territories, with birds in noisier territories suffering lower reproductive success. Females exposed to traffic noise laid fewer eggs than expected based on egg-laying dates alone (a proxy of female quality). These females also had nestlings of reduced body condition, even though nestlings were not exposed to noise directly. Our results suggest negative impacts of noise on egg production and nestling body condition, which could reduce local population size.
