Table 1.

Examples of covariance in light, sound and chemical levels from natural and anthropogenic impacted environments.

combination of sensory conditions correlated levels examples from natural environments examples from anthropogenic impacted environments references
sound versus light + daylight and birdsong in temperate regions traffic sounds and streetlights [1315]
moonlight and insect sounds of tropical regions reduced visibility and increased noise at water locks [1618]
sound versus chemicals + sound and chemical transmission in air/water currents emission of sounds and chemicals by traffic [1922]
? ?
light versus chemicals + pheromone release in relation to lunar phase chemical and light pollution of industrial areas [23]
reduced visibility and increased CO2 levels due to aquatic vegetation reduced visibility and increased nitrogen levels due to aquatic eutrophication [2426]
