Effect of noise on latency to behaviours in the common goby (Pomatoschistus microps). Treatment effects (control, intermittent noise and continuous noise) on (a) latency to male activity, (b) latency to female activity, (c) latency to female courtship, (d) latency to female nest inspection and (e) latency to spawning. The Kaplan-Meier survival curves show the cumulative percentage of individuals that show a behaviour over time, with 100 indicating that no individual has shown the behaviour. Females in the control and the intermittent noise treatments inspected the male’s nest sooner than females in the noisy treatment (p = 0.003 and p = 0.04). Latency to spawning was significantly shorter in the control treatment compared to the continuous noise treatment (p < 0.01). All other tests were non-significant. control n = 28, intermittent noise n = 32, continuous noise n = 28.
