Wildlife Responses to Drone Noise: A Preliminary Approach for Quantifying Disturbance During Single- and Dual-Drone Flights.
Article in Ecology and evolution, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. An erratum has been issued. Cited by 1 paper.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Drones are increasingly being deployed to study wildlife; however, growing evidence indicates that drone noise can alter animal behavior and confound ecological data. Few studies have quantified how acoustic exposure affects behavioral responses of wildlife. In this preliminary, descriptive study, we present a field-based approach that integrates in situ acoustic monitoring with behavioral scoring to document group-level disturbance patterns in free-ranging plains zebras. In Ol Pejeta Conservancy, Kenya, we monitored how flight altitude and single vs. dual drone configurations affected plains zebras (
