Figure 2

The effect of different sound fields on surface boundary roughness (SBR, cm) for Ruditapes philippinarum.

Data points (open circles) have been horizontally jittered for clarity. Model predictions (open triangles) from the minimal adequate linear regression model (Supplementary Model 3) with GLS estimation (incorporating sound field as a variance covariate) are indicated. Positive values indicate increased activity within the sediment-water interface. Sound fields: Ambient, Gaussian sound spectrally shaped to mimic background sound; CBN, ambient + continuous broadband sound (Supplementary Sound 1); IBN, ambient + impulsive broadband sound (Supplementary Sound 2).
