Acesso em: 12 maio 2021.0376-6357http://www.repositorio.ufop.br/jspui/handle/123456789/13653Impacts of noise pollution are recognized as a source of stress for animals and as a form of environmental degradation. Behavioural changes associated with noise, such as reduction of reproductive success, reduction in feeding behaviour, increase in vigilance behaviours and inability to detect environment acoustic signals, are observed. The aim of the present study was to evaluate how noise influences aggressive behaviour of the saffron finch (Sicalis flaveola). We conducted tests of territoriality-aggressiveness against conspecifics. Seven individuals were tested, with six tests per individual being conducted in two treatments (traffic pollution and ambient noise), totalling 84 tests. The noise treatment significantly altered the agonistic interactions of the saffron finches, with territorial males exhibiting less aggressive behaviours towards intruders.en-USrestritoAggressionBirdsNoise pollutionStressTerritorialityArtigo publicado em periodicohttps://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0376635720302138https://doi.org/10.1016/j.beproc.2020.104222
