The double-edged sword of urban life: Invasive grey squirrels perceive foraging as safer close to roads under noisier conditions, yet riskier when noise is inconsistent

Kristin P. J. Thompson, Sasha R. X. Dall

This study shows that urban grey squirrels perceive foraging as safer near roads under consistent noise but riskier under variable noise, highlighting the complex impacts of human disturbance on foraging behavior.
